My enviers—what ails them? They have striven; may they not succeed!
My enviers, in vain they strived, no triumph gained,
They seek the utmost fulfillment of wishes—may they not attain it!
Seeking my ruin’s end, no wish attained.

The time has come to fulfill the promise of their destruction.
Now comes their promised end’s fulfillment nigh,
If counterfeit can fool the assayer, they too may pass muster.
If falsehood triumphs o’er the critic’s eye, they’ve gained their way.
