page 1045 note 1 Roughly translated, the distich means, “all my thorns will assume a new grace and blossom as flowers. All my griefs will take on a ruddy blush and bloom as roses.” It happens that, leaving out the extra-metrical āmār, the lines are typical payār verses of 8 + 5 or 6 syllables, but written in the elliptic colloquial, which leaves out many a's and i's, and so produces contact of consonants (see my note ad fin. ).
