1. If you had mercy on the one you came to possess
You would have made death, which was about to overtake him, repeat itself

2. O you who is beautiful but still human
Nothing in the essence of light rivals him

3. Ask longingly, connected by the length of illness
You make him your amusement and your jester

4. The repetition of remembering you entertains and expends him
He holds on to the hem due only to some hope he has in you
