1. Those who love travel the paths of love like me,
Some sink low in love, while I rise above,

2. If I despair, it's no innovation or wonder,
For a reckless lover, despair is but valor,

3. My soul is ransom for whom I opposed reclining,
For in him, I have no reclining forevermore,

4. Since he said "Friday" was the appointed time, I told him
"Would that the days of my life were Fridays, all"
