Chorus
Oh! to have never been born, or sprung from noble sires, the heir to mansions richly stored;
for if aught untoward e’er befall, there is no lack of champions for sons of noble parents, and there is honour and glory for them when they are proclaimed scions of illustrious lines; time detracts not from the legacy these good
770
men leave, but the light of their goodness still burns on when they are dead.
