1. Your bachelorhood is better than your free marriage,
So how could it be when you become the husband of a prostitute?

2. And the book of marriage payment, as you sought it,
Is like the book of a feeling poet.

3. So do not make the witnesses testify in it,
And make a promise to them like a wily beggar.

4. And wearing the garb of illness is more becoming in appearance,
And more radiant than the garb of a seduced libertine.

5. And indeed if you use reason, your night will not cease to be
Spent in a night with your reason sunny.
