1. With what help will he come to us, wonderful, everwaxing friend?
With what most mighty company?

2. What genuine and most liberal draught will spirit thee with juice to burst
Open e'en strongly-guarded wealth?

3. Do thou who art protector of us thy friends who praise thee
With hundred aids approach us!
