Dear hearts! Let me tell you what is wrong!
It isn’t the beautiful (they say the devil is beautiful
but I know for a fact they are wrong).
It isn’t the ugly who are weak (pity them!)
Fear the ugly who are strong!
The heap of riches (they gave and gave)
is ugly in its confusing mass.
Riches will lead you to the grave.
Trust the beautiful. Shouldn’t we?
Beware the strong who is ugly!
What is good immediately?
The lover of the eye itself, beauty.
I once kissed one who was ugly and weak.
I was never so much in love! I am still a slave.
Of this love I cannot speak.
