O possessor of dazzling blessings,
O friend of bountiful gifts
To you I have sent my finely wrought verse,
To you I send my graceful ode

And from it I have offered the orphan pearl of necklaces;
And of it an orphaned jewel I gift
Far be it from you to break the orphan's heart.
Far be it you would an orphan's heart break
