1. The hesitant is not like the negligent.
The judgment of the excused is not the judgment of the excuser.

2. Had I known your glance was my demise,
I would have guarded against your eyes, which I did not guard.

3. Do not suppose my tears cascaded, rather
My soul flowed in my descending tears.

4. Take my news from grief and from weeping,
The tongue is not eloquent, though it twists with an informer.

5. And I did look, so he averted his glance disdainfully -
Fearing harm, and the radiance of that sight.

6. My despair makes concealment good for me, so know,
If I hoped in you, I would not have concealed.
