Tournend into a lady who iss now, 
qwyt fresh ant fine as birds, 
un her thigh her orbs ar soon, 
yn hyr earan, mye airs agen… 
 

a night par happs, alloon 
weth heart to answer-in me; 
arrived unto sweart ending; 
ma pryvate look te clear. 
 

Thus reqwit lives beleft. 
Som time, dear, mild, radius beam, 
aroma also, visual sweetnys, 
farewells bynckt annd faded.
