1. He is the chief, generous to his companion in—

    —genial speech, words sweet in their effect.

  2. Possessor of glory from a people of noble men, who

    attained the heights by the sword-edge of the resolute and wary.

  3. He possessed such nobility that, had anyone

    besides him attained it, he would be hailed: “Peerless among mankind!”

  4. And lofty honors hung about him, from their jewels,

    pearls that scorn the sun and moon.

  5. And God lodged within him every noble virtue,

    whose illustrious deeds became renowned among nomads and townsfolk.
