Your name has gone out under heaven like the sweet honor of some god-fearing king, who rules in equity over the strong: his black lands bear both wheat and barley, fruit trees laden bright, new lambs at lambing time-and the deep sea gives great hauls of fish by his good strategy, his folk fare well."
