1. Go away by yourself from a land where you are wronged
And do not be of those who miss their families and fret

2. For uncured amber is but fossil dung where it originated
And in exile it is worn around the neck as a jewel

3. And antimony is but a stone in its native land
Cast away unwanted on the roads

4. Yet when it traveled abroad it gained superiority
And came to be borne between eyelid and eyeball
