| Subject and slave for Love was a King | B |
| He sat above with sceptre and crown | A |
| Turning his eyes from my sorrowing | B |
| The laugh of a god on his lips lay light | C |
| His lips victorious that mocked my pain | D |

| My feet are wet with the tears of love | H |
| And I turn my eyes away | I |
