With long recital of the rest
Since I became the Cossack’s guest.
They found me senseless on the plain,
They bore me to the nearest hut,
They brought me into life again—
Me—one day o’er their realm to reign!
Thus the vain fool who sought to glut
His rage, refining on my pain,
Sent me forth to the wilderness,
Bound, naked, bleeding, and alone.
