And a slender youth, like a branch, except that
And as supple as a bough, although
sleep robbed his limbs of their swaying.
Sleep robbed the folding of his limbs -

He lay sleeping, his cheek already beaded
Now he lies sleeping, and his cheek is wet
with sweat, so I said: “The rose was sprinkled with its own water.”
With dew. I said "The rose is freshly sprayed with water."
