For love is strong as death, jealousy is cruel as the netherworld;
her coals are coals of fire, of the licking flame of G-d. Vast waters
cannot quench love, nor can floods drown it; if a man were to give
all his earthly possessions for love, he would be utterly scorned. |

For everything hidden must be revealed,
each secret longs to be
disclosed, each love yearns to be betrayed, everything sacred must be
desecrated. Heaven and earth conspire that all good beginnings should
come to a bad end. |
