1. We have a ruler who is effeminate, and he
Says I am addicted to sodomy

2. He has apt emotions and sentiments
Yet his deeds are those of an arrant sodomite

3. Curse him, the excessively tyrannical ruler
And the old sodomite who responds to sodomy

4. Your eloquent words have fallen
In prostration before their beauty, words

5. And your meanings, they are loyalty
Generosity, help, and protection

6. A young man’s shadow benefits those under it
And in his shadow they have a share
