Love begins with jest and infatuation;
Love first is jest and desire
Then it deepens as desire increases.
Then grows when longing takes fire

Everyone who loves—even if borne aloft
All lovers, however high their rank,
By the rank of kingship—is a follower of the one he loves.
Are slaves, led by their love, a crank

So for one there is sorrow, betrayal, and separation;
So that is sorrow, deceit and guile
And for the other, longing, passion, and anguish.
That is longing, bliss and turmoil
