1. He showed me the path of guidance, and I followed it;

    my paths did not branch away into error.

  2. And he informed me that ignorance would not return

    to me, and that forbearance would not be absent.

  3. Thus my panegyrist spoke eloquently after inarticulateness,

    and after eloquence my faultfinder became inarticulate.

  4. And he returned my panegyrics to the best of humankind,

    so they settled like a necklace upon a nubile maiden’s neck.
