1. O you who eagerly rush to doubt
With loosened reins and slackened girth

2. And whom the maidens spurn
Though you have better right to spurn them

3. If you considered the beauty of our nightly congress,
O son of noble sires and lofty dames

4. When the Pleiades - clad in ice and fire -
Dispell the darkness with their sparkling rays

5. You would say, "A herd of gazelles on a feast day
Appeared in yellow and white robes."
