We hunt down lions in their thickets,
We hunt the lions down in their own thickets,
We hunt lions in their thickets,
yet the eyes of fair women hunt us.
yet the eyes of fair maidens hunt us down.
And the eyes of fair women hunt us.

The keen-edged sword recoils from us, yet
The keen-edged sword turns blunt and glances off us, while
The keen-edged sword glances off us, yet
the purposeful glance strikes sparks within us.
a glance that takes its aim strikes fire within us.
A well-aimed glance can wound us.

Lions fear us, while we fear gazelles—
Lions go in dread of us, and we dread the gazelles:
Lions fear us, and we fear gazelles—
a wonder unmatched by any wonder.
a marvel — and never was there a marvel like it.
A marvel—no other marvel is like it.
