1. With settled principles in my conscience
Though injustice governs his judgments

2. Death's bow aimed, the moment his arrow
While the glance, the sum of its missiles

3. I do envy he whose hearing feasts
On his words and verses' rhythms

4. And whose eyes delight to witness him
Sitting or standing, however he is

5. For my love of him, I’ve come to be
Infatuated with his face, his beauty
