And black-eyed, red-lipped women—
The eyes' blackness and lips' redness you'd think
you would think they had lapped blood.
Were caused by languid sleeplessness and shed blood.

The anemone is akin to their hues;
Woe to the wretch whose pallor they condemn -
before them, the dark tint of lips is put to shame.
His guilt's revealed in their accusing looks.
