I said, when the one I adored betrayed my love,
When my love betrayed me, whom I had entrusted
And I had neither patience nor fortitude to be without him:
And I had no patience or composure about it

If a shameless man has joined me in loving him,
If he who shared my love was so shameless
Then both the dog and the lion drink from the river.
Then the river is drunk by both dog and lion
