Upon the pillow of sleep to end a life.

2. I pardoned shedding my blood willingly
With a sip of your saliva's trickling.

3. Moses' union was a moment so pure
Defiled by spies and slanderers vile.

4. Brief flaming love's fires rapidly
Like an impatient spark, ardently.

5. A glance sees death as its soul's desire
And shame to leave a heart left lonely.

6. Youth's waning reveals a fairer sight
Than youth's blossoming days newly.

7. Formed of light and temptation amain
While people of water and clay remain.

8. Lament the weapon of time and gaze in
A battle rendered witless, dazed in

9. Bereft of cunning and patience, no
Shelter in reason or keep to go.

10. Miserly, denying the wish its way
In word; though he promise, he won't convey

11. Denying me present, yet he'll allow
No entry to any tomorrow.

12. I set my passions afire with his name,
Stoke the blaze higher in the brazier's flame.

13. Oh beauty's companion, be gentle, pray,
Ashamed of your gaze, so gracefully.

14. I fear for you censure from their dictum:
"Straight of form, but crooked his wisdom."

15. I refused all alone from you, but I
In wish and name thronged the assembly.

16. Your brother the moon in night's dim keep
Kept vigil, while you slumbered, asleep.
