1. Let me attain wealth that cannot be attained
With toilsome residence or travel far and wide

2. Think not that hardship can make me bow down
For steep ascents are easy on high cliffs beside

3. You wish to reap sublime heights effortlessly
Though souls therein must strive and hands provide

4. To reach his goal the lover must cross a thorny patch
Without the sting, no taste of honey can abide
