1. If you wish for all good to be gathered in one,
Spend the night like an unsheathed sword, alone.

2. What delights the eye more than gift-giving hands
Whose sequel is a plunge into debt?

3. Bracelets for the fair ones are fashioned from
The wearing of bracelets in deep green.

4. And men safeguard wealth, yet never
Can it be safe from them, not even a bit.
