When the world was young I was already old,
and honoured to be appointed guardian.
with fiery sword and great endeavour
I slew the encroaching serp's of air and water
and was acclaimed.
Now in honoured estate I dwell recounting
my past deeds to my own kin,
who wait upon my honest words wide eyed
and think in wonderment.
and yet I am content, the Lord of all things
named me valorous.
