1. Every passion has a cause,
From which it originates and branches out.

2. My heart was tempted by a veiled one,
Her face covered with beauty.

3. She came adorned with beauty, taking it,
Choosing the best of it.

4. She took from it subtle graces,
And exceeded in what it gives.

5. If she tried with it to return to it,
No shame would deter her.

6. What she jested with in earnest
Many an earnest thing is caused by play.
