Translation

Traducción

Even if a woman does commit some sinful activity, no one should place his hand upon her. And what to speak of you, dear King, who are so merciful. You are a protector, and you are affectionate to the poor.

Nadie debe poner su mano sobre una mujer, incluso si comete alguna actividad pecaminosa. Y mucho menos tú, querido rey, que eres tan misericordioso. Tú actúas como protector, y eres afectuoso con los pobres.
