1. If you wish to ensnare a dear one's love
And possess his heart and affection

2. Then make him partner in the good you're granted
And let him in with kindness to love's partnership

3. Don't you see the birds of air swooping down
For a speck of love like dew drops pouring down

4. So it is the wise and reasonable man ensnares
Hearts' particles of love without a snare
