1. I disobeyed every desire obeyed,
And controlled my heart with chastity.

2. I guarded my true affection,
When I did not find you to share it.

3. And I forbade myself from passion,
Until you allowed after the conflict.

4. So farewell to your friendship,
It is the best farewell.

5. And if separation parts us,
With a parting that has no reunion.

6. It is not brave for the hero
To plead for the sake of passion.

7. So go, before you what you asked,
Of youth and breastfeeding.
