1. He disobeyed his reproachers, obstinacy overtaking him,
So they pushed him into conflict—yet the lover is inclined to passion.

2. Concerns harassed him, scattering the sleep from his eyes,
And the eyes of one impassioned have no rest.

3. Your consolation cannot be defeated, for it
Is time—believe it, and soon it will terrify.

4. He disobeyed his reproachers if he obeyed his passion,
And the young man in his love disobeys yet obeys.
