It is impossible to trap them in a snare, for the hearts of these beloveds are inclined only towards wealth.

Here, the poet makes a witty yet cynical observation about the material nature of worldly affection. Beautiful beloveds are traditionally called 'but' (stone idols) for their cold indifference, and the lover finds it impossible to trap them in the delicate net of pure emotion. Their stony hearts refuse to yield to genuine devotion, swaying effortlessly only toward the glitter of gold and wealth.
