1. The minister's lightning flashed, so it poured
I found no escape to execution

2. As if my outstretched arm
Was wading in deep, dense green

3. With overflowing dew, generous disposition
Quick to pardon, slow to avenge

4. The claimants lied that grandeur
Abides in the breasts of educated women

5. Indeed glory, benevolence, efforts
And degradation are in the tongues of pens
