A word they would bring hither,[46] a word they would return,
With intelligence they would quickly hasten[47]
Between two lovers.—
I should sooner give up the nicest dishes[48],
Forget rather the roast-meat on the priest’s table[49]
Than I forsake my dear beloved,
Him, whom in the summer I made attached to me,[50]
Him, whom in the winter I captivated.[51]
