Now that I've looked the original over...

>The new power which was formed. Always old achievements.
I had said the head noun of the relative clause is the power; it seems it
should really be "the usual great hall(s) which your new power has built
are not impressive to me and are boring" (E: "Thy pyramids built up with
newer might / To me are nothing novel, nothing strange,")
>luSutqa'moH neH bIH; ngo'Ha', 'ach notlh.
>They only causes <Sut> again, very old, but it is obsolete
"ngo'Ha'" here seems to be more in the "wrongly" sense. Not truly old, old
wrongly. Not old but just obsolete (E: "They are but dressings Of a former
sight:")
>'ej jIH muSIvmoHbe' DaHjaj, Hu' po je,
>and today it cause to wonder me, the morning gets up also,
You and I both missed the "-be'" on muSivmoHbe': "Today and the morning of
days ago do *NOT* make me wonder." (E: Not wond'ring at the present, nor
the past,)
>'ach DaH jI'Ip, 'ej batlh not mu'woQvetlh lIj.
>but now I swear, and it forgets that political power never with honor.
I wonder why "lIj" is in third person. "mu'woQvetlh" refers to the oath,
apparently (E: This I do vow and this shall ever be,)
