Sol 6.1

  1. Your bounty is visited by the suppliant, and your sword by the

    rebel; hands and necks receive them both.

  2. Each day, from you, the house of glory gains riches

    and wealth, while the treasury is impoverished.

  3. How often you have plunged into a surging deep like the sea,

    Death's water gushing in both—may you be spared!

  4. Among youths, lions of war, whose lives have been preserved

    for them by keen blades amid terror.

  5. Each a husband to life, who makes no marriage pact with her

    except on the understanding that in war he readily divorces her.

  6. Ahead of every army, on every day of [battle?],

    as though he were attached to the horses' breasts.

  7. Seek whatever place you wish in the world—you shall attain it; for

    the sky has no breadth, nor the sea any depths.

  8. Whoever [doubts?] that you were created to possess it

    is like one who doubts that God is the Creator.

  9. So heaven has a heaven from your loftiness, and the

    horizons have [horizons?] from your praised renown.
