1. Say to one who has ignored me though he knows
All my love, my birth, and my grace,

2. Why, when you wanted to sell me and I did not rush
To sale, did you sell me for a pittance?

3. If you are ignorant of my love, take
Knowledge of my love from my overflowing tears.

4. Would that before your places I had been
A lofty mountain or a rugged cliff!

5. I have an outward fear of slanderers though
Inwardly I am consumed with passion.

6. Everything is powerless except the violence
Of love in me, though I feign to be weak.
