Sol 6.1

  1. My lord, O master of the reed

    pen, of skill and eloquence;

  2. In you are kindnesses and

    knowledge, refinement and sound judgment;

  3. And through you come noble deeds and noble

    qualities, firm resolves and generosity.

  4. I know your lofty resolve: if

    an unruly one resists, it tames his unruliness.

  5. Why, then, has my request been delayed?

    Rather, my lord, I hope for its fulfillment.
