1. It's honor enough that through loving you I'm known
So cease your disdain, show me mercy, bend down

2. I've roamed the world for your love and none else I see
But you, none can sway me from you while I have breath

3. Then punish at will, act as you see fit, it's your right
For you are the master with absolute might

4. And one such as I should rightly pine unto death
And one such as you should pity and give relief

5. O you of beauty beyond all mortal acclaim
That speaks of a meaning no words can contain

6. You have graced me in all things, been generous and kind
Leaving no dread of estrangement to cause me pain

7. A beauty that has no like in all humankind
Has captured my heart, enthralled it, made it shine

8. Your cheek is a rose and your glances narcissi
Your form like straight poplars, your saliva wine

9. Your lids are like violets, your hair loosely curled
Your stature a sapling, your gaze finely honed
