<poem>
When a man gives praise and thanks, let him do so repeatedly!
Die he will one day,
but he must have faith that leaves can sprout from barren soil.
For the spirit-complex is ever actively present,
so long as it dawns and dusks, and so long as time passes.

==Notes==
 
*''ar'' + VERB.VN-CONST + SUBJECT is a time clause: "upon SUBJECT's VERB-ing" or "when SUBJECT VERBs".
==Translation==
*''ar'' + SUBJECT + ''le'' + VERB.VN means "SUBJECT must VERB".
<poem>
*VERB.VN + VERB + SUBJECT is an emphatic construction meaning "SUBJECT [surely, definitely] VERBs", with a distinct literary flavor. A clause in this form can also have a concessive force.
When a man gives praise and thanks, let him do so always and forever!
*The future is used in time clauses, when the condition holds at or up to some point in time in the future.
Die he will one day,
but he must have faith that leaves can sprout from barren soil.
For the gods are ever actively present,
so long as it dawns and dusks, and so long as time passes.
