Izingcezu ezimbili ezikhethiwe
Khuluma uthando ...
Uma ufuna ukuthanda abanikazi noma yimuphi umuntu wesifazane
uzoba nezinto eziningi okufanele uzifunde kuqala
ukuze afune ukukwemukela ngothando.
Okokuqala, bheka ukuthi yimuphi owesifazane ozomkhetha.
Ufuna owesifazane omuhle, okhangayo futhi onempilo,
lokho akukude kakhulu, kepha futhi akuyona into encane;
uma ukwazi, ungafuni ukuthanda owesifazane oyisikhohlakali,
Akazi lutho ngothando, umlimi kanye nokuqina.
Ufuna owesifazane ozacile onekhanda elincane,
izinwele eziphuzi, ezingadayiwe ngehena;
amashiya ahlukanisiwe, made, aphezulu, edwaleni;
izinkalo ezibanzi, lobu ubukhulu bomnikazi.
Amehlo amakhulu, amahle, azwakalayo, akhanyayo
nangama-eyelashes amade, acace bha futhi ahleka;
izindlebe zincane, zizacile; ngoba uqamba amanga
uma inentamo ephakeme, abantu bathanda kanjalo.
Ikhala elibukhali, amazinyo e-giblets,
alinganayo futhi amhlophe kakhulu, ahlukaniswe kancane,
izinsini ezibomvu, amazinyo abukhali,
izindebe zomlomo wakhe zibomvu, zincane
Umlomo wakhe omncane, kahle, ngendlela enhle,
ubuso bakhe bumhlophe, abunaboya, bucacile futhi abushelelezi;
kufanele umbone kuqala ngaphandle kwehembe
ngoba ukwakheka komzimba kuzokutshela: le aguisa!

U-Aristotle uthe, futhi kuyiqiniso ...
U-Aristotle uthe, futhi kuyiqiniso,
leyo ndoda isebenza izinto ezimbili: eyokuqala,
okokuzisekela, kanti okwesibili kwaba njalo
okufanele ilandelwe ukuhlangana nowesifazane othandekayo.
Uma ngishilo, kungahlukaniswa,
kodwa isazi sefilosofi sithi, anginacala.
Akufanele singabaze ukuthi indoda ehlakaniphile ithini,
ngoba ukucabanga kwakhe okuhlakaniphile kufakazelwa amaqiniso.
Ukuthi indoda ehlakaniphile ithi iqiniso kufakazelwa ngokusobala;
amadoda, izinyoni nezilwane, zonke izilwane zomhume
ifuna, ngokwemvelo, inkampani entsha njalo
futhi kakhulu kunomuntu kunesinye isidalwa esihambayo.
Ngisho lokho maningi, ngoba ezinye izidalwa
kuphela ngesikhathi esisodwa lapho behlangana khona, ngokwemvelo;
umuntu, ngaso sonke isikhathi, ngaphandle komqondo nangaphandle kwesilinganiso,
noma nini lapho efuna futhi angayenza leyonto ehlanyayo.
Umlilo uncamela ukugcinwa emlotheni,
ngoba lapho isheshe idliwe kulapho ihlaselwa khona ngokwengeziwe;
umuntu, lapho ona, ubona kahle ukuthi uyashelela,
kepha ngokwemvelo, kungena ngokujulile ebubini.
Mina, njengoba ngingumuntu ngakho-ke ngiyisoni,
Ngangizwa uthando olukhulu ngabesifazane kwesinye isikhathi.
Ukuthi sizama izinto akukhona okubi kakhulu ngaso sonke isikhathi;
wazi okuhle nokubi bese ukhetha okuhle kakhulu.
