1. Since the sun saw him in Aries,
It has scarcely dared to appear from shyness.

2. A fruitful branch bearing a moonlike youth
Who shames the branches with his beauty.

3. The roses of his cheeks that blush from him
Are abashed by the narcissus of his eyes.

4. And besides that his smile
Combines wine and honey.

5. Who will protect me from his glances
When I am distraught because of him?

6. Whenever his swords are unsheathed,
My heart says: my death is near.
