Hard mere advance, maintain thy place correct. Lost in the wood, seek not a deer to espy. Dispense rich favors as thy friends expect. Wed not loose women, only that they know. Chains bind the ignorant, and sorrows flow.
Firmness brings fortune, thou mayest cross the stream.
Wait, constant, in the border of the land. Wait, slandered, by the mountain torrents sand. Shun its mud, or mischief is at hand. Still wait, midst blood. Still wait, at festival - Oh firmly stand.
