1. All passion is difficult, but I
Have suffered the most difficult of the difficult.

2. Love melted me, so if I were cast
Into a sleeper's eyes, he would not awaken.

3. And I used to have a ring,
But now, if I wished, I could be threaded through it.

4. And your apparition visited me, until
When it wanted to leave, I clung to it.

5. O you who, when you come, people say
“This is the prince of beauty in his procession.”

6. Your slave, do not ask about his state -
What has befallen your enemies has befallen him.
