Sol 5.6

  1. They tell me that parting is a hateful thing;

    So I told the devotees of love: “Do not hate it.”

  2. They asked, “What benefit can one hope for in it?”

    I said, “Through it, the love-tormented one has his debts discharged:

  3. He gains a farewell when they load up to depart,

    And if they return, they at once deepen his sorrows.”
