1. The ribs perfumed with rare incenses
That spring has never bestowed on a garden before

2. Concealed their fragrances, until torment by fire
Made their breeze blow out, appeasing,

3. As if the eternal king, the eminent, the matchless

4. Had kindled its embers with the fire of his wit
And the smoke rose to the height of his aspiration
