1. My passion halted where you are, so I have
Neither preceded nor lagged behind it.

2. I find blame for loving you a sweetness
For love of your mention, though blamed.

3. You resembled my enemies, so I came to love them,
Since my share of you is my share of them.

4. You gave me safety, so I kept myself safe, standing firm.
Is there anyone you slight among those you honor?
