1. My conscience wants from my tongue her attributes
Yet alas, my conscience will not be pleased with my tongue

2. I am wary of mentioning her in a demeaning way
Even though I please her love through my submission

3. Shall I mention her openly or keep her secret
And suppress my passion or complain tearfully

4. I will abstain from confessing my love openly
It's all the same if my heart obeys or rebels against me

5. So let it suffice to converse with myself about the one I love
And explain to my thoughts her love submissively

6. Congratulations to your eyes, sleep! For I
Stay up all night long yearning for you
