And by the children who from them have birth.

Yea, all her people, when she goes abroad,

Salute her and account her as a god.

For of so excellent a wit is she,

Her woman’s wisdom puts a period

To strife of men who in her favour stand.

And if to you she reach a helping hand,

Hope you may have to see your friends, and reach

Your high-roofed house, and your own native land.[[12]]
