Now let us make peace, dearest life

Now let us make peace, dearest life.

It has been too long that we have feuded.

If you are unwilling, I will yield to you;

How could we wage war to the death?

Kings and princes make peace,

And should not lovers crave it?

Princes and soldiers make peace -

Should two who are in love fail to do likewise?

Do you think that what such great men succeed in,

A pair of contented hearts shall not accomplish?
