1. When you escaped from satire and its sting
As for the slip of the tongue of the son of success

2. If not for the lassitude in your speech that is desirable
And my gentleness with you afterwards and my flirtation

3. And the coquetry in your eyelashes which
Inclined my heart toward you after aloofness

4. You would have known that you don’t jest with a poet
In a time that is not the time for jesting
