1. And indeed I have kept company with Time as one who knows it,

    accustomed to its good and its ill.

  2. And I have tested it, and found my fault in its eyes

    to be my merit; curing its obstinacy proved beyond me.

  3. And it is an affliction to treat the rancor of one

    whose resentments include God's blessings upon you.

Sol 6.1
