I do not ask the wounded person how he feels, I myself become the wounded person.  My hurts turn livid upon me as I lean on a cane and observe.  (33)

Immense have been the preparations for me.  Faithful and friendly the arms that have help'd me.  (44)

But my charity has no death - my wisdom dies not, neither early or late,
And my sweet love bequeath'd here and elsewhere never dies.
