Lam a roving friar of the order of love, and wander in search of 
my nightingale.

Caw not, ye cawing crows! In quest of my beloved am I, 
maiden’s lips. . .

How can I tell thy praises P Nor pipe have a nor lute. 
ay and night, poor lad, I p; ask not my woes. Dainty, 
graceful darling, daughter of the king of Cabul art on, very 
delicate is thy body, my darling, there can be none thee.
