Becomes Amateur in Cousa Amada

The amateur becomes the beloved thing,

by virtue of much to imagine;

I don't have much to wish for,

for in me I have the desired part.

If in it is my transformed soul,

what more does the body want to achieve?

In itself can only rest,

for with you such a soul is bound.

But this beautiful and pure semidea,

that, as an accident on your subject,

just as my soul conforms,

is in thought as an idea:

[and] the living and pure love of which I am made,

as simple matter seeks form.
