1. The monks reproach me for the love
That has spread among people and become renowned,

2. And said, "If you were young, you would ransom
The one your heart desires, with his robe and hair."

3. So I said, "I do not seek compensation for my guilt,
Even if my passion melts my bones and flesh away."

4. That was his way of consoling me at first,
But determination in this matter follows barrier.
