THE EARTH CONTAINS BOTH.
The earth is where the two are found at large,
the soul of goodness and the one of vice.
We are completely with the source of love,
but you and l, l think, hate what is bad.

A man in his right mind loves what is chaste,
and tries to get immersed in what is pure.
No one will go to sewage to swim there,
but all would love to rub themselves with balm.

I seek for perfume that l love to smell.
It takes me up to such a higher state.
This perfume and this balm are in the world,
but with them is the dirt that we avoid.
