1. O wound, the first has not yet healed
Can my heart bear you both?

2. Two wounds in a frail body
Wherever you strike, it's fatal

3. The days divide our loved ones
And the better, more beautiful share

4. If only, when taking her share
She'd overlook or forget ours

5. Spared at the end from her unjust division
What the first made you swallow

6. A captive's ransom is acceptable
But no ransom accepted for the dead

7. Despair not of patience in any condition
For it is the most beautiful trait

8. I lived in glory and comfort
Your impending approach draws near
