1. I repeatedly reproached you
Until I grew weary, and reproof is the end of love.

2. Yet I did not banish you from courtesy, but
A shooting star in being left behind is no shooting star.

3. And my anger turned against you when you went
With a reputation, which even dogs do not kill,

4. Can abuse heal the son of a base woman
Of no account, whom abuse does not hurt?

5. So his life is a blot, but
Ahead of him is a ruinous site.
