Your rival in bestowing bounty—though he
Your gifts of bounty continuously flow, yet
falls short of even your lowest mark and grows weary—
He's too weak to accept even the least. Remorseful,

has kept me from my share, which I would not sell
He turns from his fortune he'd never trade
for the most precious thing a discerning chooser can gain.
For the finest riches others have made.

Blame the rain, and excuse one for whom meeting you
Excuse the rain its excess pour and know
equals attaining immortality—nay, it is greater.
Seeing you outvalues immortality's boon.
