1. Oh Muse, when will I be graced in your eyes while distant
My love and excuses for you, my sins unto you

2. I refused for my patience in you the most generous offering
And severed from my people the dearest of loved ones

3. I sacrificed with no favor toward love my passion
My heart and delight for one undeserving

4. So ruined without retrieving are my efforts
And failed without grievance my fortunes

5. They said a reasonable one, had he willed, would disobey desire
Contradicting thus the traits of a lover and reasonable one

6. Not by my choice did patience with love abandon me
But by parting's sword youth's vigor was ended
