First lines
I am the lover's eyes, and the spirit's wine, and the heart's / nourishment. / I am a rose. / My heart opens at dawn and the virgin kisses me and places me upon her / breast.
I am the house of true fortune, and the origin of pleasure, and the / beginning of peace and tranquillity. / I am the gentle smile upon his lips of beauty. / When youth overtakes me he forgets his toil, / And his whole life becomes reality of sweet dreams.
