One of a gallant vagrant band,My name is known in every land;In all earth’s changes I am there;Without me none may war declare,Or treat of peace, or try their partsOn manufacture, tillage, arts;By me a patient saint of oldWas changed into a warrior bold;I made old Abner’s father near;His wife was deaf, I made her hear;His house I put upon his back;His jaw an iron bond I make;Bad spirit by my presence claimsTo be the end of human aims;And a young bear is seen to beA coveted jewel of the sea.

One of a gallant vagrant band,

My name is known in every land;

In all earth’s changes I am there;

Without me none may war declare,

Or treat of peace, or try their parts

On manufacture, tillage, arts;

By me a patient saint of old

Was changed into a warrior bold;

I made old Abner’s father near;

His wife was deaf, I made her hear;

His house I put upon his back;

His jaw an iron bond I make;

Bad spirit by my presence claims

To be the end of human aims;

And a young bear is seen to be

A coveted jewel of the sea.
