1. Whenever I denied a saying,
I was reproached for it, it was said the just narrated it.

2. And this was good from you in my view,
Nights when I had passion and inclination for you.

3. And your face in daylight was radiant,
Free of light, no night attended it.

4. And honor was mine for you and from me
Drawing after you tail upon tail.

5. I was satisfied with poetry below poetry, a satire
For you, so for you through it is war and woe.
