1. A soul that has spent the day waiting,
Keep waiting, perhaps tomorrow I will find bliss.

2. The seriousness of life is a slave we all abhor,
Yet lust and frivolity attract all souls.

3. Sacrifice yourself for me, shelter me,
With something unpretentious, not a palace or lodge.

4. Start with your body, deprive it of some,
Before your passions, among your friends the gluttons.

5. For the bliss of Eden cannot be found,
Except by the religious amidst harm.

6. A lion with mighty paws dressed in hair,
Like a shaggy goat dressed in shag.

7. Life is discarded like a boulder by one who lives it,
It will not last in one state if it softens.

8. After pleasure in valleys or coves,
It soured with anguished days.

9. Passion is a garment which if it does not
Take a man by force, piety will not roll for him its sleeve.

10. Like a pearl denied to the child without means
Who did not refrain from it out of asceticism, though we tightened.

11. As for evils, they are not avoided with self-denial
Except a little, but they befriend cities.

12. By your life, I do not hope for guidance
In our world to steady among us faith.

13. Fate is stronger, how many homes of honor
Lie deserted, while homes of disgrace are inhabited.
