From far hath come accusing Time with wings that slowly trail + 

Yet surely, crying shame on me for my deep debt unpaid. + 

Yet if with usury I pay it now, this may avail + 

To lift the burden, hush the lips that faithlessness upbraid. + 

My song shall swell as rolling surge that sweeps the shingle down, + 

Shall pay the wronged one friendship’s debt, shall chant his land’s renown. + 
