-
I have given command
-
that you are free to move about city.
-
In return,
-
you will lend hand
-
in seeing your people receive proper share of food.
-
And carry word to me if any should fall to mistreatment.
-
It surprises,
-
how such small a weight bears such heavy burden.
-
A truth known to all who take up arms against Rome.
-
You shall sleep where you are.
-
My people will turn from me,
-
if I'm known to bed beneath your roof.
