1. I thanked my God when the one I love
Was afflicted with a beautiful love – in passion there is no fairness.

2. It makes him drink multiples of the pain I have,
And melts him with estrangement though he is the one who estranges.

3. So it brought him what it brought people in love,
And made him owe the passion that he used to make others owe.

4. So he became dispossessed though he was the dispossessor -
Thus Jacob in grief and Joseph in beauty.
