1. Do not deny poetry on his cheek
For roses are not without thorns

2. O temptation of lovers, yet they
Ransomed you with precious souls

3. O glances of the moment, they did not do justice
If only they had enthralled you with magic

4. They offered their greetings to your melody
Then bid you farewell when they greeted you

5. Their hearts they gifted you, for in love
You gifted them when for an hour they gifted you

6. They named you imperfect in beauty's perfection
When you were a full moon on the horizon they named you

7. How often did they vow you were the sun of daybreak
And the pact of oaths they gave you

8. If they swore it's true and not your right they fulfilled
Your charm leaned in a beautiful tilt so I do not doubt

9. That wine has given you
So O souls that passion for union revived you.
