1. If I do not defy reason's deterrent
From my youthful folly, then blame me

2. And whenever I equate anyone with loving you
In the universe, then fault me for justice.

3. Glory is naught but that I humble myself to you,
And I see the permanence of glory in humility.

4. Life is naught but that I die of passion in it,
As an impetuous youth, and live in it through slaying.
