I wish—and how could I not wish—
I wish, and how could I not wish,
To have a faithful friend among humankind,
that I have among people an intimate friend,

And a purified heart that beholds the age
and a pure heart that glimpses harm
And its people, content and well-pleasing.
and turns gently away, pleased and pleasing.

That is glory fluttering after my death,
That is true glory fluttering after my death,
And the bliss of life as long as I live.
and the joy of life whenever I draw breath.
