What can I compare unto thee
I think of a beauty I did see
Clothed with Elegance in manner and grace
Praises of this damsel my heart sings
What can I compare unto thee?
My heart, your grace and elegance attracts
Like a thousand bees to an honeycomb
For thee love; my heart glows like gold carracts
Long live! This love shall follow me to my tomb
Let the whole world say what they wish to say
Let's withstand their rambles without guilt or shame
If we're one in body, mind and soul
There flower of jealousy will wither and rot away
