1. I was told of a charming gazelle
Whose beauty made him peerless and alone

2. A Christian in garb and clan
A Jew like a wand crooked with flame

3. Who took up medicine as his trade so I feared
A malingerer whose love might turn to scorn

4. Especially if he be a lecherous elder
Clad in the raiment of riot and vice

5. Who sees sodomy as law in his faith
And if asked, claims that is worship
