The reproachers blame me for union with one
The blame of the tormentor in an encounter,
Whose glances and face entice me.
whose glances on my face made me fall in love.

I hitched up my clothes when I waded into love for him—and indeed,
When I plunged into his passion, I was committed,
One who wades in mud hitches up his clothes.
