A wondrous beauty, her body a chrysolite,
Her body is gorgeous, like emerald
Green, her beauty concealed by veils.
Her green dress hides her beauty, the veils

Wounded at the waist, yet not bleeding
Her waist is wounded, though not bleeding
As wounds and scars do.
As wounds and scars tend to be

As though, from the roughness of her clothing,
As if from the harshness of her dress
She were chilled, while the midday heat blazes.
She is bruised, while embers burn

Were molten silver, its spout gold.
It's the melting of ingots, golden its flow
