"And lastly now I beg
O Lady of Song your blessings:
Let the explanations I give
turn to jewels
that adorn the ears
of those with clear minds.
Let the debates I unleash
split open the brains
of those who dare
to speak wrong.
Let the books I write
become a necklace
that wise men wear
upon their throats."
