Thy friends shall no assistance yield;

Thy foes shall tread thee in the field;

For thou the woman-slayer, then,

Shall meet thy final fate from men.

Those damsels whom thou hast deceived

Shall feel no pang of grief;

Their aid was malediction,

Thy death is their relief.

The Moor was true in heart and soul,

He thought she spake in jest.
