For you know that I myself am a labyrinth, where one easily gets lost.

To wait so long
And want a man refined and strong
Is not at all uncommon. And yet to wait one hundred years
Without a tear, without a care
Makes for a very rare woman. So here our tale appears to show
How marriage deferred
Brings joy unheard
Nothing lost after a century or so. But others love with more ardor
And wed quickly out of passion
Whatever they do
I won’t deplore
Nor shall I preach a lesson.
