1. No lightning ever struck me, nor storm shook me,
On any day, nor did any shaker shake me.

2. The chastity of the young man's heart
Is better for him than the corruption of the adulterer.

3. I do not drink wine, even if
It takes away the anguish and sorrows of my soul,

4. Lessening the balance of my patience with it,
As if my balance had never been diminished.

5. A life has passed, that was not of one who passes away,
I dealt with it badly, and it dealt badly with me.

6. I indulge people, even though if
I revealed what was secret, it would shame me.

7. I despaired of my own defects, but what
Appears in others did not make me desperate.
