1. A sin whose guilt exceeds the bounds of pardon,
And a companion whose crimes merit no forgiveness;

2. Long has reproach struck me dumb, so I understand not its blame;
And confused suspicions make me wary of all,

3. Both behind and before;
I know not his affection in his turning from me,

4. Nor his innocence from his sickness;
Whenever he displeases me with an ugly deed,

5. He comes to me, making me happy with his words.
