Translation

“This woman with beautiful hair has such large breasts that they touch together in the middle. Smeared with thick, black kastüré powder, they resemble the night sky embellished by the half moon-shaped impressions of his fingernails.

He is adorning her with an enchanting necklace of pearls, as if placing a constellation of immaculate stars, upon the firmament of the night sky.”
