Speed
Chop wood when the wind blows,
row your boat on the sea,
court a lover at nighttime
(for the day has many eyes).
Value a ship for its speed,
a shield for its protection,
a sword for its sharpness,
and a woman for her kiss.
No man should mock another
for falling in love.
Love-sickness
often strikes harder
on a wise man than a fool.
No man
should mock another
for falling in love;
love is strong enough
to make a fool
out of a man who once was wise.
Praise the features of the fair girl, who courts well will conquer.
Gallantly shall he speak and gifts bring who wishes for woman's love.
