By God, if your doves had alighted
By God, if your doves fell
Upon the men, you would not have appointed this one.
Upon men, you would not flee thus.

Savage by nature, he is saddened by people's joy;
Ill-natured one, people's joy grieves him,
And he finds no delight except when he causes harm.
And he feels no gladness unless he hurts.
