First Line: I gave the commons their sufficient meed
Last Line: And gave to neither unjust victory.
Subject(s): Justice
I GAVE the commons their sufficient meed
of strength, nor let them lack, nor yet exceed.
Those who were mighty and magnificent,
I bade them have their due and be content.
My strong shield guarded both sides equally
and gave to neither unjust victory.
