Shelter thou shalt not refuse him,
Lest, with him, his Lord ye slight;[[3]]
When, at noon, the foe pursues him,
Make thy shadow dark as night.
With thee shall he dwell, protected,
Near thee, cherished by thy side;
Though degraded, scorned, neglected,—
Thrust him not away, in pride.[[4]]
As, in truth, ye would that others
Unto you should succour lend,
