Latin
If he is able [to repay[, he [i.e. the lender[ will hardly receive the half,
And counteth it as a windfall;
If not [able to repay[, he hath deprived him [i.e. the lender[ of his money,
And he hath made him an enemy unnecessarily.
He repayeth him with cursings and railings,
And instead of honour he repayeth him with insult.
