The countenance of lofty honors is radiant and beaming,
O radiant one of sublime traits whose forehead gleams
With an open brow crowned with joy,
With joyous delight and triumph it beams

A rosy cheek turned aside in pride,
With cheeks all rosy from gladness sincere
A stern, sidelong gaze—[the remaining phrase is unclear].
And eyes shining bright when my love draws near
