You alone are pleasing to me, and no longer is any girl in the city except you beautiful in my eyes. And if only you were able to seem beautiful to me alone! May you be displeasing to others: thus will I be safe. There is no need for any; let the boasting of the mob be far distant. Let that very one who is wise rejoice in his silent bosom. Thus I am able to live well in secreted forests where no road has been worn down by human foot. You are the repose of my cares, you are the light even when the night is black and you are the crowd for me in lonely places.
Now I shall do whatever you will wish; I shall remain forever yours.
