Rebecca, my bride (723)
1. Red ruby, you are the royal blood of my veins,
2. Ethereal Rebecca, of your soul I make part,
3. Blessed angel, you are destroying my heart,
4. Ever, in heaven, our souls will be tied with chains.
5. Candid swan, your life is pure, without stains,
6. Chaste Daphne, I am bleeding cause of Cupid’s dart,
7. Aphrodite, in heaven our marriage will start,
8. Myth, you are the queen who in my heart reigns.
9. Young Calliope, you know how much I pine,
10. Bright rose, I am sweetly sighing for you,
11. Radiant Leda, your fine charm will never decline.
12. Infinite Goddess, my sweet heart is thine,
13. Divine sapphire, I am dying for you,
14. Ever I love your soul since you are divine.
