The dolichos on that high and sloping mound; -- |
|
How wide apart are [now] its joints! |
|
O ye uncles, |
|
Why have ye delayed these many days? |
|
Why do they rest without stirring? |
|
It must be they expect allies. |
|
Why do they prolong the time? |
|
There must be a reason for their conduct. |
|
Our fox-furs are frayed and worn. |
|
Came our carriages not eastwards? |
|
O ye uncles, |
|
You do not sympathize with us. |
|
Fragments, and a remnant, |
|
Children of dispersion [are we]! |
|
O ye uncles, |
|
Notwithstanding your full robes, your ears are stopped. |
