ENCHANTRESS by AL-MUNFATIL

First Line: FRIENDS, HEAR THE STORY OF / MY HEART'S ONLY LOVE
Last Line: VIRGINITY.
Friends, hear the story of
My heart's only love:
Lissom is she,
And, as she sweetly sways,
My fond heart obeys
Her witchery.

So sweetly she enchants;
Each firm breast a lance
Pointed at me,
And pointed, guarding yet
Her inviolate
Virginity.
