1. The invader shows no mercy to the invaded
But makes light of his covenant and enemy

2. The weak have no intercession with the strong
Far apart are their descent and ascent

3. Let not his gentleness and flexibleness delude you
After humiliation, by his tyranny and excess

4. Endure him, watching, until when
He transgresses the limits, you seize him for his trespass

5. Never was he a day calm but unruly
And betrayal lurks in the glance of his affection

6. Needs must come a stumble though the land be smooth
And fate before his nearing and approaching

7. Man was and will remain ever-changing
And fortune between his coming and going
