1. Pray, will you not ask God to cure a man enthralled by love?

    Illness has taken firm hold of him, in flesh and blood.

  2. Turn his tears of longing back within his eyelids,

    that he may recover—raw [textually uncertain]—then restore his flesh upon my bones.

  3. They have fettered one who is not versed in his affair;

    and whoever suffers what he suffered at people’s hands will understand.

Sol 5.6
