1. I will thank you for the disobedience which
stopped my passion for you, thanks to good advice,

2. and gladdened my chest with my suffering heart,
and congratulated my watchful eye with sleep.

3. Even if your kindness to me had made me prosperous,
it would have seemed ugly to me because of you.

4. So if my request does not bring me a response, still
I shall be patient in spite of myself, for many a death is a comfort.
