1. Your tears are unceasing, ever-flowing
And your heart is eternally passionate in love

2. So covering up is inevitably futile
As this eyelid remains moist and dewy

3. Then leave her be, and forget a love that demeans
For your abode is far below the stars’ height

4. When I speak of forbearance to myself
A tall man accosts me or one overbearing

5. If I humor her, she seized on my weakness
If I defy her, then I’m disagreeable

6. In her jaws lies lethal, deadly poison
And in her robes, a gentle, tender meadow

7. How can I turn my heart away from her love
When my hand that pushed her away feels the pain

8. I cannot defeat my own nature against her
For desires hold an intense, blazing fire

9. Sickness has stripped me of dignity and grace
So each sight I see seems ailing and ill
