Have ruled the realm which now is mine.

I too have taught my feet to tread

The pathway of the mighty dead,

And with fond care that never slept

Have, as I could, my people kept.

So toiling still, and ne'er remiss

For all my people's weal and bliss,

Beneath the white umbrella's[260] shade.

Old age is come and strength decayed.

Thousands of years have o'er me flown,
