1. The delay and procrastination filled him with misgivings,

    And the swords had grown weary of their sheaths.

  2. So he opened the battle in the name of God,

    While the Kaiser strutted amid his revels.

  3. But the cry of the opportunist distracted him

    From the music and the pleasure of the ballroom.

  4. He cried, “O treachery! O vengeance!”

    I never knew that this was under way.

  5. O my heroic people, were it not for my weakness,

    I would have placed my advance in the foremost rank.

  6. Though we proved weak amid the surging sea,

    We shall grow strong upon the barren land.

  7. Though the fleet has gone to join the whales,

    The lions are making ready in the field.

  8. Hem in every mountain pass with troops,

    And kindle fires upon the snow.

  9. Chastise this stubborn, overbearing foe,

    And exact a cruel vengeance upon him.

  10. And should aggression come from his ally,

    We are more capable of dealing with it.

  11. What would it matter if we conquered India,

    Then drove those people utterly from it?
