1. Beware of making a promise, you have no intention to fulfill
For honesty becomes a young man

2. And falsehood counts among his faults
And when you can be true to your word

3. Refrain from treachery and deceit
Shall I complain of you or of time?

4. For your procrastination counts among its sins
Rather, I complain of it, for how often

5. Have I been driven to strange misfortunes by its calamities
