1. What ails the beauty, what ails her?
She began denying her state last night.

2. She inclined toward you with her love,
And concealed from you her words,

3. And roused you to affection,
And opposed her mocker,

4. Until when she had gotten from you
And made fast her deeds,

5. She turned away and showed with coyness
Her aversion and her flirtation,

6. Until when you had pleased her
And attained her hopes,

7. You asked her generosity—
She extended toward you her refusal.
