He who hath glory lost, nor hath
Language: English
He who hath glory lost, nor hath
Found any soul to fellow his,
Among his foes in scorn and wrath
Holding to ancient nobleness,
That high unconsortable one -
His love is his companion.

Celui qui a perdu la gloire et n'a pas
Language: French (Français) after the English
Celui qui a perdu la gloire et n'a pas
Trouvé d'âme pour être son ami
Parmi ses ennemis pleins de mépris et de colère
Soutenant l'ancienne noblesse,
Hautement infréquentable --
Son amour est son compagnon.
