1. They said his eyes were afflicted, forbidding their gazing,
So do not fear for a heart or a liver.

2. I said, "Beware of his glances, for they are deadly,
And their weakness now is what saves him from punishment."

3. Have you not seen his cheeks, how they have worn
From fear of their cheekbones, a coat of mail?

4. Truly a youth is fearful even when gentle,
And the sword cuts its edge while it is still in its sheath.
