1. O noblest of people in character, and best among them

    In seeking what is due and returning things entrusted,

  2. I offer to your august presence—whose visitor is protected

    From every calamity—the purest greetings.

  3. Now then, I ask that the bearer of this be given

    My brocade, without delay or obstruction.

  4. Such is the promise, and such my fair expectation of you:

    May people like you never cease to be people of noble virtue.

Sol 5.6
