1. With such beauty and grace
She stood in an assembly filled with nobles

2. Seeking donations from the crowd
For people in need and distress

3. Among them was a prince
Who fell under her spell

4. He kept glancing at her, captive,
At her cheeks and slender form

5. Until she drew near him, radiant
Like a gazelle or full moon

6. So he generously gave wealth
And whispered softly, grateful

7. "For your beautiful eyes this is
My darling, after my thanks"

8. She laughed then said
In words that stung

9. And turned her face aside
Concealing her contempt

10. "Now, my prince, be sincere
And give to the destitute in need"

11. So he doubled his gift and called out
"I have gained thanks and reward"
