   My beloved, whoms lips rumoured of sweet taste, 

and jeweled eyes cast of bliss


   Hear a fool's unbosom of desire,

though the champagne puppets my words.


   This heart carries such heavy burden

Impair, for it may be so.


   Tis' unwise of me to share but a moment with you,

whilst all ardor embraces my entire self, mind and body


   Tis' inane of me to have dreamt of you in late nights of spring,

whilst weary I am to yearn you do the same.


   A sure cretin I may be, incessantly,

yet an impassioned fool at your hand.


   Here I plea, chalice in grasp

and my feeble heart in the other


   To hear but a whisper

that my foolish desire, my passionate aching, is requited by my beloved, and you alone.
