1. After the purity of love and the goodness of harmony
Honor, even greeting, at the meeting

2. O you who are safe from the sickness of my heart and my sorrow
And secure from my burning and longing!

3. Did the revolution of despair appear on my face
And the horror of misery in my frown?

4. What arrow with which you pierced my heart
When you aimed at my depths?

5. Hastening on the path, robbing steps
Were you sparing so I'd catch up?

6. When you turned, changing a glance of kindness
To another with little longing

7. And prepared to greet, but didn't
Inciting the curiosity of my friends

8. Distracted by you I neglected my duty, arrogantly
What is the fault of the duty of morals?

9. Boredom overcame your heart, so you turned away
Why not wait for the day we part?

10. I won't reproach you, honor is a meaning
That appears in the soundness of the pact

11. Repulsion can be borne, sin calls for it
But boredom's repulsion cannot be borne

12. The tyranny of beauty made lawful for you
What had been forbidden, so delight in my exhaustion

13. You are free, and beauty knows no bond
So you captured my freedom and release

14. It would not have been easy for your swiftness
If I were free of fetters
