She said, when I had shunned her
She said, and she had spurned me,
during the fast: “Fie on you as a husband!
“In fasting, treat me tenderly, my husband.”

You had a duty;
Yours was a duty,
you turned it into greens during the fast.”
You made it in fasting mere greens.

And I had known it as a spear—I would pierce
“I knew him as a spear most sharp

That pierced armor, and he's become a rope.”
