1. With ardent love
My passion fills me

2. In rapture I rejoiced
And came with yearning

3. I have a beloved
Who gives me much distress

4. Seeing him is my cure
And remembering him my wine

5. Thoughts of him suffice me
From other fancies aloof

6. He has settled in my heart
Since he left my abode

7. Oh love, where is my pact
You did not tend to my rein

8. Preserve affection awhile
From noble manners refrain

9. Leave disdain and have mercy
On my flowing tears of pain

10. Sent by surging torrents
Of tumultuous refrain

11. I swear my darling
By the holy land

12. Your image in my heart
Exalted in station

13. And in passion for you my hearing
Deaf to blame

14. So have mercy on a tender slave
Who is dying of love

15. And be safe and walk trustingly
From the turns of time
