O God, thou art the golden well-spring of this man’s kine, the much-effecting lord of horses, the stronghold’s own. For none, in truth, hath crushed thy bounty down: whatso I seek from thee, that bring thou hither.
Oh Dios, tú eres el manantial de oro de las vacas de este hombre, el señor de los caballos de múltiples obras, el baluarte propio de la fortaleza. Pues nadie, en verdad, ha abatido tu dádiva: cuanto te pida, tráelo aquí.
