1. Ah, physician of bloodletting, are you aware

    of what your two hands have done to the hand of the man of glory?

  2. You made blood flow from a forearm that bends with that hand,

    in generosity's modesty; be measured with your armor in bloodletting.

  3. So you treated a hand that people know to be

    a remedy for adversity in wretched times.

  4. And when the news-bearers came to us with word of his bloodletting,

    I wished to offer a gift in proportion to what I had.

  5. And I sought counsel, then took along my family and my neighbors,

    so I found nothing in the way of praise or thanks.

Sol 6.1
