Now while his brothers hated him, behold!

He dream’d a dream, which unto them he told;

Saying, “As we were binding in the field

Our sheaves of wheat, it was to me revealed

That mine arose upright, and yours around,

Stood making low obedience to the ground.”

These words of his, they did anger breed;

They say, must you reign over us indeed?

The like of this was never known before,

Thus for his dreams they hated him the more.
