1. O Lord, the speaker and the best words
Were never from a singer, even if lying

2. To what you despise among you, the singers
They in existence are nobler ranked than you

3. Be for you reason in every honor
And you were in the misery of woman the reason

4. You claimed they are dormant prohibitions
And if they wanted, they would make the land gold

5. So I said if the opinion of a singer was not
The anger and clamor in men would rage

6. You did not do us justice though we hoped
That you would not do us justice, so no wonder

7. Alas, a beauty rules justly when she judges
For injustice is the nature of singers that prevailed

8. Man fights the world and subdues it
And time flees terrified when it rages

9. It roars so predators tremble in fear
But if a beauty roars, it remains trembling

10. If you wish, in his depths I made cold
And if you wish, in his depths I made flames

11. The nights pass in worry and fatigue
Beware of complaining of their fatigue

12. If he knew these gray hairs bother her
He would spend evening frightening their greys

13. He suffers so the wearer of jewelry awakens smoothly
And carries the worries from her, happily enchanted

14. What did the singers breathe in him
Except the torment in his eyes that is delightful

15. This is man, O virtuous one, so who
Does him justice, no doubt does manners justice

16. You blamed him and he has no sin except
That he does not accept to disobey her
