1. O friend of virtue and morals
Of pleasurable punishment

2. Excuse your brother, for he is not
Of such luxury and frivolity

3. Life is but an expression
While your brother does not exceed his eloquence

4. I traveled at daybreak
As the night cloaked me in darkness

5. The horse pranced in the meadow
Shade enveloping me completely

6. Vigilant and experienced
In the struggle of troubled life

7. And my inability though my hands are long
And fall short for the son of struggle

8. I who taught excellence
In eloquence and rhetoric

9. If time has impeded my status
And compelled me to idleness

10. I have lived with all that
Would shame his hotels and gardens
