1. By God, I do not know, when a petitioner comes,

    questioning me about your bounty, what I am to say.

  2. And by God, I do not know—though I am indeed watching—

    whether you show promise of generosity or of miserliness.

  3. You are a man whose way has not become clear to me,

    and night has a course of its own until it settles.

Sol 5.6
