Yet thou, whenever any man hath driven

Thine heart to righteous wrath, relentlessly,

Sternly against the might of foes hast striven:

Their insolence into the abyss of sea

Is hurled by thee.

Porphyrion had not learned thy mighty sway

When he provoked thy spirit overmeasure.

If willing be the giver, precious treasure

Is that which the receiver bears away.
