In the lowest forms of human wishes I reside

to be summoned when intellect and honor recede

weighted-down deep in the bosom of carnal oblivion

by honesty,sincerity,truth,discipline, bain patience

faith and beggaring no less.

 

Deceit be mine nourishment

repentance and forgiveness I resemble oft

ides of twin remorses mine fear

fathoms of dispensable filtration

for mine weak summoner

The faint-hearted connoitre with praise for me

and the coward befriends me.

 

I have no sustenance in thine decrepit bosom

I bid farewell twain deceit and disrepute

Mine yongons decry shame

thine stench is foul

I pledge bretheren with repentance and forgiveness.
