Sol 5.6

  1. Your protection extends to everyone who fears,

    and your largesse is reserved for everyone who seeks.

  2. The world rejoiced in your bounty and was satisfied,

    so it did not rejoice in the pouring rains.

  3. Through you, Time smiled, revealing one who adorns it,

    an eye watching over it through the changing course of calamities,

  4. clear-sighted on its behalf before consequences unfold, with thought

    that unveils a judgment reaching beyond those consequences.

  5. Let glory thank you—glory you never cease to shelter

    and defend with the twin blades: resolve and a keen sword.

  6. It is as though, whenever I grasp a handhold of yours,

    I seize the fringes of the rain-pouring clouds.
