1. O you who does evil to the self
Yet makes the excuse of an innocent face

2. Never shall your face be so innocent
If immorality makes it ugly

3. Surely adversity must be endured
By the wounded heart in its love for you

4. Making excuses with unfulfilled promises
No progress, nor honest response

5. No comfort to delight you
No dove to give you rest

6. And I give you sincere advice
Knowing the truth of advice

7. And I oppose those who slander you
Though their words seem true

8. My heart's tears eloquently
Translate the grief of my conscience
