Embroiled in sin, we spy a lovely pair:
A velvet serpent stretched across the ground;
A flower of a woman, golden-haired;
Two criminals in Eden stay unfound.
Her halfwit husband’s blindness is profound;
Adulterers cavort without a care.
Ignoring fools, there’s no one else around.
Embroiled in sin, we spy a lovely pair.
A single shoe, suspended in the air;
The smallest falling fruit still makes a sound.
Another sin, another garden where
A velvet serpent stretched across the ground.
Unless a rose or snake should be too loud,
A pretty face has nothing to beware.
The ugliest of deeds could never shroud
A flower of a woman, golden-haired.
There are no consequences for the fair.
The crimes of angels, angels have allowed.
Our lovers are at peace in this affair;
Two criminals in Eden stay unfound.
The halfwit husband’s face will never frown;
A single shoe will never leave the air.
A garden perseveres, its blossoms proud;
The flower and her serpent in her lair.
