1. O judge of lovers, I complain to
your justice of what I suffered from his love.

2. He deprived my eyelids of the delight of sleep
While he is immersed in detestation.

3. And of my afflictions is that whenever
I awaken him, his glances wound me.

4. Do you not see me like a bird shot down
by a treacherous hunter, its blood flowing?

5. And were you to ask me where my blood went
Seek it, and see what his cheeks absorbed.

6. The judge eulogized me and decreed the
harm of my oppressor so he may receive his punishment.

7. He came, and when he appeared at his door
with a glance from his eyes he bribed him.

8. So the judge became sympathetic to him
and issued a decree that I die for him.

9. We both died of love for him, and did not
obtain any happy moment of his consent.
