I have great wealth.
I am a man of renown
I do not hold land.
Gold and silver is not mine.
In my hand is a good spear.
On my arm is a fine shield.
With these I have glory.

Thus do my enemies fall.
Thus do my friends prosper!
My house is poor.
But my name lives forever!
I have great wealth.
I am a man of renown!
