Ah, how lovely the beauty mark appearing amid his cheek!
O how fine the uncle appears amidst his cheek
And how many, nonhuman and human, it has captivated!
And how many he captivates other than a man and a man

If only he would, out of kindness, make it
O if only he was kindness that makes him
a pupil for the eye of the lovesick lover, longing's companion.
For the residence of passion, the cheek of ecstasy, a man
