1. I became infatuated with longing for his sweet saliva,
And at all times his saliva was glorifying.

2. I was astonished at its coolness while it scorched me,
So woe to my scorched body while it cooled him!

3. Had all the Christians known what was contained,
In his folds, of bringing the dead back to life,

4. They would have said: “We left the religion of Jesus altogether,
And headed for the worship of your sweet, pure saliva!”

5. In his dark eyelashes there was a whiteness.
How amazing! A whiteness yet he was dark!

6. If only I knew whether time granted him one night,
In which to be generous, or was it renewed like this forever?
