Consider, lady, how much trust love engenders in my heart. I feel my heart, full of desire of you, is burning. and I cannot defend it from your sweet glances which are my undoing. The servant stays always wounded. beseeching you for help. May it please you to do so, if he is not to run towards dire death to which you'll lead him.
