1. With you attained the utmost glory
There, a light above a shining light

2. And pride in you was clothed in finest raiment
With every garment made more glorious in your name

3. O you whose heart is kindled by his wisdom
More healing for one in pain than cool water

4. He is the clearness with his gentleness and purity
So fire and water meet in him

5. Our ears attained delight from your name
And so were envied by other mouths

6. Justice is your way so you were praised as equitable
Between all ears and lips

7. If praise of you be bounded, still
Your merit has no bound nor end

8. Above all likeness you are exalted
So you need a poet freed from commonplace

9. You are that one, and who has novel metaphors
For you, commands that guide the makers of verse

10. And poetry itself came praising me with kindness
And said, “I am the servant of God’s servant.”
