I have ceased to cherish every state I once passionately loved,
I have grown detached from every state I was once passionate about,
Yet in no state have I ceased to cherish generosity.
Yet in no state have I ever forsaken generosity.

Whenever my fate, in its changes, consumed my wealth,
Never did fate, in its fickle turns, rob me of my wealth,
I made largesse a veil over destitution.
Save that I made munificence a veil over my destitution.
Sol 6.1
