Chorus
Her tomb let none regard as the graves of those who die and are no more, but let her have honours equal with the gods, revered by every traveller;
995
and many a one will cross the road and read this verse aloud,
This is she that died in days gone by to save her lord; now is she a spirit blest. Hail, lady revered; be kind to us!
1000
Such glad greeting shall she have.
