Love, at first, arises from a need;
Love is first out of need
Fate brings it about and drives it onward,
Brought by fate pulling its strings

Until, when the youth plunges into passion's deep waters,
Until when the youth plunges in love's abyss
Great, unbearable troubles come.
Matters come that can't be handled maturely
