Classic Poem

Nalli with your glowing mountain where the waterfalls roar down
from the summit! I praise the wealth you desired and gained
through unrelenting effort! To those who have come to you in need,
surrounding you in your sprawling city glittering with its rice bins,
you have been magnanimous, and each and every day you bring and dispense
fine gems and elephants! And we do not have the will to praise insignificant kings,
or sing about things that they never did.
We will not exalt men of that kind with our small but elegant tongues!
