1. Oh guest, is it time to flee,
Or have our homes yearned for your noble face?

2. Or have you found comfort in departing
Hurriedly to draw nearer to your tomb?

3. If that be your response, then you are not one
Whose host benefits from excuses.

4. However we have made a pact
Yet destiny rewrites the decree.

5. We both fulfilled a promise in our intent
But fate makes the young man its instrument.
