1. He broke his pledges in anger, bringing pain upon me
In the guise of compassion, the specter of the breaker

2. So I asked him not to utter what has passed
Lest he turn it against me in decisive speech

3. Yet he went on, and threw in my face what I had said
Then came to threaten me with a sharpened sword

4. Have mercy, for imagination told the truth
This is the place of one seeking refuge
