And from an ally I warded off harm, out of generosity.
And for a master whom I defend driving harm away from him out of nobility,
And had I wished, he would have reached evening with eyes lowered, bearing a grudge.
If I wished he would spend the evening angry with me out of disrespect,

And yet I defend what is mine to guard and trace my lineage
But I protect those blamed and belong
To the striving of forefathers who raised my honor before me.
To the path of fathers who grew my nobility before me.
