My affection for you, my masters, has not diminished with distance.
My love for you, my masters, has not waned with distance,
And my heart, in loving you, has been snared with grain as bait.
And my heart's affection for you has not diminished.

I went to extremes for you and defied the reproacher, yet
I have been devoted to you, disobeying the critic,
you heeded a slanderer through whom my worth was cheapened.
And I have obeyed the slightest gesture, so gracious.

When shall I see victory approaching from you, and see
When will I see triumph coming from you, and see
my adversary's devil turn back on his heels?
My enemy devil retreating backward, vanquished?
