And a maiden whose saliva quenches burning thirst;
A maiden whose smile heals all my pains
And to us her face resembles the sun and the moon.
Whose radiant face outshines both sun and moon

Chaste, yet she has never turned away a toucher's fingertips;
A steed unbroken by another’s touch
Prolific, yet her young do not survive, and she has never lain with a male.
A crown, earrings - never worn before
