| - | |
| Your hand glides over my numb breast in vain | D |
| what it seeks dear friend is a place made raw | E |

| My heart is a palace defiled by the rabble | G |
| they drink and murder and clutch each other's hair | H |
| About your naked throat a perfume hovers | I |

| O Beauty harsh scourge of souls this is your care | H |
| With your eyes of fire dazzling as at our feasts | J |
| Burn these scraps to ashes spared by the beasts | J |
