Do not marvel if there does not shine among mankind
Do not be surprised if my merit is not apparent in this world,
My merit, which men of falsehood have concealed.
And those of bad faith conceal it.

For the greatest of bodies in size, when
For the greatest of bodies seems smallest in size
It rises higher, appears smaller to the eye.
When its height above increases its distance from sight.
