1. Pearls you sent, strung in necklaces,
Or a musky, fragrant garden of basil.

2. Nay, but a bride you have brought before me,
Born of thoughtful, critical mind and insight.

3. Hearkening to your call to her who leaves
Hearts little troubled with sorrow.

4. As for cups, they passed amongst us
In the hands of a gazelle, bewitching of eyelids,

5. An effeminate one who gives me wine with his glances
And his palms, singing to me whenever he wishes.

6. By your life! I would not squander it -
Do not reckon us among the heedless.
