And a fair-skinned maiden—the night of her hair
A maiden white as a moonlit night
comes from her estrangement, and her brow from her union.
Her hair from parting, her brow from meeting

Her hairdressers traced upon her cheeks
Her combs etched pictures on her cheeks
images for whose sake passion enslaved me.
That make me worship passion for her sake

And have you not marveled at a serpent in a garden

that, to my exclusion, enjoys its water and its shade?
To win, below me, its waters and its shade?

So beware of her however you can, for before her

her sister plotted against Adam in one just like it.
As her sister deceived Adam, just the same
