He boasts to us of their great numbers.
They boast to us of their numbers, many
The feeble birds have the most chicks.
Yet sparrows, the most numerous of birds, are but chicks.

He taunts us for being few in number.
They taunt us for our fewness, many
And a single chess queen fells the rooks.
While one trained falcon scatters the host.
