One I have loved, uneluding, dearly possessed, Two I have wooed, by greater praise be they blessed – Three, yea, and four, with fortune lavish of gold, Five maidens I've won their white flesh fair to behold, And six more bright than the sun on my city's strong walls With never a treacherous rede to blemish delight; Seven by heaven! though hardly won was the fight – Yea eight of whom I have sung: but to bridle the tongue Lest heedless a careless word slip – the teeth they are strong!
