Like milk and honey the dew is sweet
From her white teeth whose word is soft.
Love between me and this lady
Is like bond between soul and body.
Depart image in my pupil
Giving room to my fair-browed belle!
Life with my jewel is existence
Death it is her severance.
Can 1 forget? 1 recall always
The charms of her of bright battling eyes.
So subtle is my lover's form
Ever in my eyes winking, no harm.
My lover in my eyes abides
I paint them not lest he hides.
My lover abides in my heart
I fear hot food lest he feels hot.
My eyes wink not lest he should hide
And him as cruel the townsmen chide.
He abides happy in my heart
But people mistake he is apart.
LOVES EXCELLENCE
