Henceforth is sure, for he that hopes to win

By treach'ry and deceit, fails sorely in

This world of God, and therefore fear him not;

It is the foe magnan'mous thou shouldst fear.

Our holy ancient writings say it is

No sin deceit to conquer by deceit;

And hence fail not to send immediate word

That Bukka should to-morrow eve expect

Thee as befits a woman of thy rank,

And with a hundred maidens in his tent.
