1. I held a young girl close to my chest
Though old in love, she raised my name

2. I declined her glance when I first saw her
She has magic eyelids, leave off blame

3. And when she first cast down her eyelids, I said this is she
Who aimed at my heart love's lowered glance and arrow

4. And I set snares to catch a gazelle, because she
Could not understand an open invitation, so I resorted to hints
