The freshly plucked rose shone upon his cheeks;
The rose's beauty adorned my cheeks
And a wall of cheek-down forms its fence.
And the chastity's wall was its fence

So if the slanderers surmounted it one day,
So if the slanderers attacked it one day
They would rage like Gog and surge.
They would face a flood like Gog and Magog
