"Saya mati demi kecantikan tetapi langka Disesuaikan di makam, Ketika seseorang yang mati untuk kebenaran dibaringkan di ruang sebelah. Dia bertanya dengan lembut mengapa saya gagal? "Untuk kecantikan," jawabku. "Dan aku jujur, keduanya adalah satu; Kita saudara-saudara," katanya. Maka, ketika para kerabat bertemu malam, Kami berbicara di antara kamar-kamar, Sampai lumut mencapai bibir kami, Dan menutupi nama kami."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

I died for beauty but was scarce Adjusted in the tomb, When one who died for truth was lain In an adjoining room. He questioned softly why I failed? "For beauty," I replied. "And I for truth, the two are one; We brethren are," he said. And so, as kinsmen met a night, We talked between the rooms, Until the moss had reached our lips, And covered up our names.
