4. End of your excellent soul I make part.
5. Chaste swan, I am bleeding cause of a dart,
6. Candid, for your platonic love I will fight,
7. Angel, I think of your holy soul day and might,

11. Ruby, my river of love is flowing for you.
12. Oh, of my holy love I have got the clue,
13. Sun, our souls will be tied with golden chains,
14. Ever, in heaven, my sweet heart will beat for you.
Yours faithfully
