1. Love is unjust, and you are cruel,
How can the miserable endure you both?

2. Love is audacious, you are aloof,
I have no kind, merciful lover in you two.

3. Love has exposed me, though my reason concealed me,
From you both a great ordeal has befallen me.

4. Only he who bears the sadness and the long night
Knows one whose rope of union is severed.
