1. With my family and wealth I would ransom the one to whom I have caused harm—

    the one whose kinsmen harbor rancor against me;

  2. the one dearest to me of all who tread the pebbled earth,

    though she shuns me and treats me harshly;

  3. the one who, if enmity arose between us

    and she fought me, I would not know how to fight her.

  4. Indeed, modesty holds me back, and I turn away,

    though I struggle with a passion keen as a sword’s edge,

  5. for fear that harm might befall her from her master

    over something the tale-bearers think I have brought about.

  6. I return to press him for redress on whatever pretext

    whenever your guardian fails me and turns his side away.
