Indeed, the beloved hastened the growth of his cheek-down.
The beloved hastened the growth of his reproach
It increased his beauty, and through it patience was exhausted.
So it increased his beauty, so my patience was ruined by it

He donned death’s robes in red; and by the time
The garments of death fell away as red, so never came
night came upon them, they were green, made of fine silk.
The night but they were of green brocade
