1. The sailor makes promises, though promises are the simplest things to make
And love, when it increases the hopes of lovers, increases them yet more

2. Beauty ensnares hearts most when it refuses to be generous
Who can bear to look on loveliness, unless it remains at a distance?

3. All creation anticipates a holiday, for the sake of that which they name a feast
Do not expect that your beloved will be pleased if you make it clear you desire him

4. Truly, the miser, despite his wealth, lives miserably because of his miserliness
If there was loyalty in this world, the world would be perfect bliss
