  1. Faring thro' many a folk and plowing many a sea-plain
  2. These sad funeral-rites (Brother!) to deal thee I come,
  3. So wi' the latest boons to the dead bestowed I may gift thee,
  4. And I may vainly address ashes that answer have none,
  5. Sithence of thee, very thee, to deprive me Fortune behested,
  6. Woe for thee, Brother forlore! Cruelly severed fro' me.
