They said, “You fell in love with one of large build.” I told them:
They said you love one enormous in body, I said to them:
The sun is the largest body the celestial sphere contains.
The sun is the largest orb the sky revolves around.

How can I conceal my passion when it lies exposed?
Whence can I hide my love, and it wrecking me utterly?
Love’s thrall has no redress against love’s deadly assault.
What can the love-crazed do against love's havoc?
