The sons of men to sorrow and to shame. 33

Wherefore dispel it, Father, from the soul

And grant that Wisdom may our life control,

Wisdom which teaches thee to guide the world

Upon the path of justice to its goal. 35

So winning honour thee shall we requite

With honour, lauding still thy works of might;

Since gods nor men find worthier meed than this—

The universal Law to praise aright. 39
