1. A poor man whom fate has blown about
Gave in prosperity and spent liberally

2. And an enemy whose rage is feared
With little effort I provoked and killed

3. And a dignified man in his prime
Silent unless called to give wise counsel

4. Unjust in attacking if battle erupted
And if he judges in peace, just

5. And arrows that guided his opinions
So that an archer shooting arrows wished for their trajectory

6. The honor of religion whose good deed
Is more virtuous when the rain pours down

7. Of good repute, his honor intact
Not worn by destruction or negligent decay
