The heart's wounds have brought forth great sorrow again and again; now the condition of faithfulness has been revealed.

This profound couplet captures the agonizing paradox of love. The beloved has not only brought the turmoil and intense yearning (the madness) into the lover's heart, but they have also set an impossibly high standard for devotion and loyalty. It suggests that the source of the pain is the expectation itself. The lover is trapped between the consuming passion and the rigid rules of faithfulness set by the beloved. It is a masterful depiction of emotional captivity.
