1. O peerless paragon among men
Exalted above rival and peer

2. The eye enlarged him, then was diverted
Between tears and sleepless vigil

3. Its glance confused, it can no longer see
An image that depicts him in images

4. What glance has ever beheld
That would not turn away from the moon?

5. The sun of beauty, his face's garden
Amazes eyes with beholding
