1. O snake slithering in my mind
You have crushed the patience of the steadfast lion

2. You have thrown me into an abyss that was never before
A home for the poetic youth

3. You have made my glory a morsel for passion
Calling the path of glory transient

4. You have made me hostile to all creation
So who do you think in creation will support me?

5. Could I see the light of guidance after
You extinguished the light of truth in my sight?

6. I disobeyed the white wishes in your love
Willingly submitting to wicked love

7. O essence of hopes, what is it
That I hope for tomorrow from my stumbling fortune?

8. You are a grave and the wish is a corpse
Washed by my wandering tears

9. And you, O heart, will you find peace
When you are not the heart of a lewd deceiver?

10. Beauty has tricked you though in it is demise
Since apparent beauty is not like the hidden

11. If beauty has led its people astray
It becomes filth in the beholder's socket

12. I was once abandoned so be an emigrant
For victory and fortune belong to the emigrant

13. Do not grieve, shed the garb of passion
And don the gown of glowing hope
