1. A beauty who never loved another but me,
Nor shared her love of me with any rival,

2. She asks about my passion for her, my rapture,
And I say, "Does not my death for you suffice?"

3. She used to call me "brother" as pretext,
So I said, "You have corrupted your brother's mind."

4. I left all people for love of only you,
If only some people had left you for me!

5. They saw you and said, "The full moon, a branch, pure star,"
No doubt these people did not know you.

6. By your life, you sinned when you wronged me,
Thus people in likening you have done you wrong.

7. You wronged me only by saying I had asked
Would one like me ask about you? No, by your father!

8. People in this world have many kings,
But, alas, people do not have a king like mine.
