1. Though you may boast of courage in one aspect
In others are character's houses built

2. When will you, O son of the perfumers, lead a band
Of people, guiding them into deadly perils?

3. If the son of a nobleman becomes a base man
Then surely the times have fallen beneath the dividers

4. So take your mother's udder in hand, be weaned,
And with your father's old bucket, draw for the thirsty.
