4. • My Aretousa did you hear
• the oh so dreary tidings
• your sire has deported me
• in far lands to be hiding
—
• Only four days he's given me
• that's all I have to tarry
• then I must travel overseas
• to far parts I must hurry
• And how can I break up with you
• and how can I start running
• and how can I without you live
• the separation coming
—
• I know of course your sire lord
• is marrying you quite shortly
• to a young prince or lord like you
• he looks for someone courtly

5. • And surely you cannot oppose
• your parents' disposition
• for swiftly they defeat your mind
• and soon change your volition
• Wherever I'll go or I'll be
• whatever times or moment
• I pledge you woman not to see
• nor to lay eyes upon one
—
• It's better to have you in death
• than someone else in living
• this body was just born for you
• for you alone it's breathing
