A happy fate was mine above

My kith and kin and all I love,

When, near the witness fire, I won

Thy friendship, Raghu's glorious son.

Thou too in ripening time shall see

Thy friend not all unworthy thee.

What gifts I have shall thus be shown:

Not mine the tongue to make them known.

Strong is the changeless bond that binds

The friendly faith of noble minds,
