And one versed in grammar—his beauty spoke eloquently,
Possessing eloquence, he expressed his beauty grammatically
And revealed an unbroken longing within the hearts.
Thus he revealed passion in pronouns demonstrative

And at the outset of my state with him lay love’s cord;
And in a present participle subject, the cord of love binds it
Then he raised a difficulty he came to be questioned about.
He posed problems, next day being questioned about them

My staying is an intransitive verb, and his rejection
My state is an intransitive verb, and its objects
Turned transitive, with no justification befitting love.
Transitive, yet he did not properly justify with love

Oh, would that I knew what my recompense is! And his condition
So would that I knew what my reward is and its condition

It has a subject, but did not make my heart its object
