But he is king who knows no fear,

Whose heart is free from mad desires;

Whom vain ambition moveth not,350

Nor fickle favor of the mob.

The hidden treasures of the west

Move not his heart, nor sands of gold

Which Tagus' waters sweep along

Within their shining bed;355

Nor yet the garnered wealth of grain

Trod out on Libyan threshing-floors.
