1. Are you my soul's remedy from the torments of love
With a little sweetness I'd ransom you from harm

2. Without your reproach I'd not become love's confidant
Nor would my heart wander lost in passion

3. I swear by the pearls in your mouth
And your glittering silk and scent

4. I'll disobey all censurers of your love even if
They hack my limbs with a saw

5. I have a lover, when he's cross
I pine for him dangerously

6. And my ordeal with him and bliss
Makes my heart quiver when recalled
