I would ransom him, languid-eyed: when he gazed,
I sacrifice for him, wakeful, when he slept,
he struck my heart with two arrows.
My madness struck me with two arrows,

He robbed me of reason in my love for him, and nothing
Prudence condemned me for my love, yet
struck by the evil eye has ever prospered.
Nothing prospers that is stricken by the evil eye.
