Oh, the beauty of lips that have barred approach to them!
O beauty of lips that denied access
In love, I give their owner mastery over reason.
In love, I make abstinence their companion

Waters of life, whose pool has grown sweet;
Sweet waters of life gathered completely
You see their drinker only shivering with cold.
See naught but a slender waist drinking them
