1. For the freeborn, patience is bitter,

    yet every act of patience brings joy.

  2. And every day comes wheeling round,

    renewing its charge against you, where you are concerned.

  3. O you who possess my heart

    with the beauty of a phrase that beguiles—

  4. had there been a freeborn soul on earth,

    no harm on your account would have touched me.

Sol 5.6
