Ours is what you claim without right,
We have what you falsely claim
To us belongs what you wrongfully claim,
When the healthy are distinguished from the sick.
When truth is sifted from disease
When the sound is distinguished from the sick;

You recognized our right, then denied it,
You knew our right but denied it
You recognized our right, yet denied it,
Just as black is distinguished from white.
As black is known from white
Just as black is distinguished from white;
