O Lord, You are mankind’s judge concerning a moon,
O Lord, you are the creator of all in the moon,
sweet in disposition, who shows no pity for whoever loves him.
Of sweet appearance, he does not mourn for whom he loved,

I almost pray against him when he wrongs me,
I almost invoke harm upon him when he wrongs me,
but because of my overwhelming passion, compassion holds me back.
But my excessive love prevents mercy
