Birth days are shown;

Wise men, astrologers, all are acknowledgers,

Mine is unknown.

I never had father or mother

Alive at my birth.

Lodged in a palace, taunted by malice,

I did not inherit by lineage or merit,

A spot on the earth.

Nursed among pagans, no one baptized me,

Sponsor I had, who ne’er catechised me;
