1. Since your book appeared before my eyes
And I liked its concise style

2. I compared it to the full moon but
It was better, lacking in nothing

3. Or it was like a rose before plucking
Adorned with drops of dew

4. But a rose is not without
Flaws that may come to light

5. While this remains flawless
With no defects in sight

6. And all that's in it, how wonderful!
With beauties explained at length

7. If the esteemed one had seen it
And had not rushed away

8. He'd have woken up happy today
And overflowed with joy at what it contains

9. For it tells of your approval
In which lies his hope

10. So greetings to the ally of glory, proud
Of your glorious, revered position!

11. On every feast, you will see wishes
Renewed to you, the first of all!
