O ye who have experienced the stings

Of love, excuse me now and blame me not

In this affair. I know that I shall die,

O'ercome by woe. The doctor of my heart

Protracts my suffering. He cures me not,

Nor yet cuts short the thread of my sad life.

Where is thy cure, O Taleb? Tell me where.

Thy remedy is lost, O good Lord Taleb.
