Temperate companion, what man Can ease the agony of love? Does a confidant exist to hear The melancholy in the plaint Weighing on my heart?
Consumed was I by suffering love,when Longing at long last escaped my lips, Confession coaxed by hopelessness Wine served by a a servants hand fedIntoxication, fueled an inner fire, Ending in an ineluctable avowal.
Only the purest wines can wrench Such disclosures from the heart. Drink on, then, to the one I love, She, my consummate contentment.
