1 Bendva has ever fought with me; yea, since he first appeared at hand to threaten, and alas to his advantage in the strife. He is the most powerful in brutal might, and in his predominance would crush my strength as I seek to win back the disaffected in my host through righteous zeal, O Wise One! Grant me then gifts of good, and of just vengeance, to meet my sorrow. Through Thine inspiring Good Mind obtain for me that Bendva's death!

2 Aye, he is indeed the greatest, for that Bendva's evil judge doth cause me to hesitate and ponder in my earnest course of propagation and reform, a deceiver as he is, estranged from the Righteous Order, and receiving from it not happiness but many a wound. The bountiful and perfect Piety he has not maintained nor strengthened for this land, nor questions with Thy Good Mind hath he asked, to gain him light, O Lord!
