1. My mistress, for your sake I sacrifice myself, what was my crime
So decree what you desire of the judgments

2. You toyed with me, oh reproach, then carried me
Onto a ship between death and sickness

3. My intimate, why do you remain my tormentor
Always destined by fate upon the fates

4. My heart is struck when I shoot and my shooting
Returns to my throat and the one I shoot is safe

5. I have patience—by God I have no endurance
For patience, yet I have been patient despite myself

6. By God my body and strength are for His cause
I am blessed until I weep over my body

7. My bones counted one by one
By a turn from the tormentor bone over bone

8. By God’s right enough! You have not wronged me
This is the station of one seeking refuge from injustice
