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.
