O fugitive, with a swift thrust pursuing you!
O fugitive, with stabs imminent, pursued,
And does a dog's life last long if it turns rabid?
Can a dog’s life be long, if it’s a cur?

I joyed when you were a gazelle alert,
And you have been ungrateful, a dog turning away.
But now a hound inverted you desert.
