I made the ring of his mouth bear a blue gem,
I wore a ring with a blue gem
From the many kisses I could not count.
From the many kisses I did not count

Without it, the watcher would not have known—oh, what
If not for it, the spy would not have known
A ring, which told the tale through its gem!
Of a ring whose gem told the tale of kisses
