1. God forbid the lovesick one finds solace
And perish the thought that your rebuke may relent

2. You have ruled decisively and my heart acquiesces
To whatever pleases you, so rule as you see fit

3. You have captured his heart with your exquisite beauty
Your command holds sway, obeyed without dissent

4. The bough knows the swaying of the graceful form
It tries to mimic it, though the lesson is not learnt
