O you who counsel patience in doing without one
O you who order me to show patience towards one
from whom darkness has appeared amid radiance:
Whose brightness is turning into darkness

I do not find the noble steed beautiful unless
I cannot think highly of generosity when
there is a bridle on its smooth cheek.
There is no wine pouring in the cup
