Beauty bestowed upon your cheek-down a robe of honor
Beauty adorned your excuse with a robe
That tore out lovers’ hearts with passion.
And disrobed the hearts of lovers with passion

Your beauty has become complete with cheek-down—who, then, has seen
For your beauty was perfected by the excuse
A moon whose eclipse is its perfection?
To one who saw a moon eclipsed completely
