1. Do not increase your love for me,
Indeed, the sanity of a lover is lost.

2. How can I hide this love when
The matter has gone out of my hands?

3. I am dead in love,
Yet my own self says I'm alive.

4. I have a passion from youth
That still stirs deep within me.

5. As for my love, do not ask
Which loss bewilders him, which does not.

6. He is a sun of beauty whose
Shadow of hair falls over me.

7. And he who is unkind is as though
He were always good to me.

8. Would that he might be pleased
With me after this and that.
