1. Love embodied five, delight, savor, moisture, dew,
Its light adorned, they said, unite with it for dew.

2. It obtained five, gentleness, delicacy,
Beauty, kindness, a mouth and a smile.

3. His cheek embodied five, whiteness, redness,
A mole, fire - O my friend - then what?

4. His glance embodied five, langour, temptation,
Excellence, poetry, then a dimpled cheek.

5. And I love five - his charm, coquetry,
A sweet voice, the slenderness of his waist and mouth.

6. His lips embodied five, limpidity, sugar,
Honey, musk, then strung pearls.

7. He obtained five, a supple branch, a meadow,
A sun when it shines, a moon and stars.

8. He obtained five, pride, safekeeping,
Kingdom, fortune in plenty, and mastery.

9. He learned five, cruelty of heart and aloofness,
Sorcery, rejection, then property and oaths.

10. And he bequeathed me five, wakefulness, sorrow,
Passion, illness increasing, and suffering.

11. I will seek five from him, obedience, consent,
Love, kindness, then union in peace.

12. I oppose five, where I and his people
Are censorious, blaming - and likewise blamed.
