1. My aspirations to glory are greater than my desire for seeking,
And my knocks on the doors of livelihood and rank.

2. If fate had been just, its mysteries would have guided me,
To the heights, with the light of reason and pedigree.

3. Of no benefit to a man are pedigrees without effort,
Is this not the limit of my fortune, and that of my father?

4. Now I seek to avenge myself with an intimate friend,
Whom I deceived away from the deep valley and grass.

5. The breast of dawn roams in the horizon of its glades,
While this day amongst the hilltops is narrow in expanse.

6. I have lived sixty and ten years, in which I have gained,
Nothing but wishes, while roaming, but from knowledge.
