1. Beauty's splendor draws the admiring gaze
Of the besotted gazer, enthralled

2. The raiment was of like elegance, I could not tell
Who was more or less exalted

3. The heart seeking beauty takes refuge
Unsure amid the parade what to do

4. My eyes cannot settle on one beauty
Without shifting to one yet more beautiful

5. The heart escapes the passions of both
Returning to the first beloved

6. Where there is safety, no watcher, no echo
When you call him, he comes immediately

7. He unburdens to me his undying love
Unchanging throughout the years

8. Do not test hearts, for long have they
Wandered among scattered passions

9. If you find a heart free and unclaimed
It suffices if it does not change
