Since the woman is superior, she says no;
Because she is the jewel
To have, she makes
The man, sad, come and go.
Since the man is inferior, he says yes;
Because she is the jewel
To have, she makes
The man run and stop and guess.
Because she is everything, she says no.
Because he is nothing, he whispers
Beatrice! Beatrice! I love you so!
