Indeed, time has wronged me so much that
Time has done me such injustice, till
Our glories have become like disgrace among us.
Our glories are like shame to us now.

And the greatest injustice time has shown me
But the gravest wrong that Time has shown
Is its hostility toward the station of the learned.
Is to bar me from the mystic row.
