1. Her friend wished the days to linger, though parted
From the one he loved, yet joy was not then denied him.

2. With her he tasted long the wine of fancy free,
Though slim her merit to ensnare a constant lover.

3. For brother mine she clad herself in yellow robes
Of tribute, at a mime's soft glances feigning passion.

4. Her dress the tawniness of cowhide showed, as though
Modesty had cast off her cloak, descrying shame in it.
