1. Youth and beauty are in your hands
What crown is dearer than your crown?

2. Love has erected its throne, so we asked
Who is she, for it pointed at you

3. So pour out your affectionate soul upon it
Like the pouring of the sky into your eyes

4. Whenever youth competes in beauty
The genius of splendor nurtures it to you

5. The jesters do not sing except to cast
The sighs of passion into your ears

6. The garden swooned drunkenly
By the stream of fragrance from your breasts

7. The rose killed itself out of envy of you
And threw its blood on your cheeks

8. And the butterflies, when
The breezes told them about your lips

9. What are perfume and silk? Except
The honor of a thing is to be yours

10. They raised you as an example of beauty
And bowed submissively at your feet
