Beyond a peer's reach and their adversaries' soaring.
Beyond jeweled necklaces and opposing foes

Fate, running its course, has snatched away their finest,
Fate snatches their finest qualities
Through death's money-changer, or through an assayer.
Through death's sickle or by envious eyes

How often my eyes shed bloody tears in sorrow
Over the jewels in the palm of ravaging death.
For gems in the grip of fickle fate
