The dolichos on that high and sloping mound ; —
How wide apart are [now] its joints !
O ye uncles ,
Why have ye delayed these many days ?
Why do they rest without stirring ?
It must be they expect allies .
Why do they prolong the time ?
There must be a reason for their conduct .
Our fox-furs are frayed and worn .
Came our carriages not eastwards ?
O ye uncles ,
You do not sympathize with us .
Fragments , and a remnant ,
Children of dispersion [are we] !
O ye uncles ,
Notwithstanding your full robes , your ears are stopped .
