Three things keep me arrested

Three things keep me arrested
heart with love,
the beautiful Agnes, ham
and eggplant with cheese.

This Agnes (lovers) is
me who had such power,
that made me hate
everything that was not Agnes.

Brought me brainless one year,
until once
she gave for picnic ham
and eggplant with cheese.

From Agnes was the first palm
but misjudged
between them which
have more part in my soul.

In taste, size and weight
I find it no distinction
I and Agnes, and ham,
and eggplant with cheese.

Agnes claims her beauty,
the ham is from Aracena
cheese and eggplant
the Spanish Antiquity.

And it is so subtle the choice
who tried without passion
all is one, Agnes, ham,
and eggplant with cheese.

At least this treatment
of these my new loves,
will make that Agnes
could sell their favors cheaper.

As will counterweight
if she don’t agree
a slice of ham
and eggplant with cheese.

Hi, GUZMAN1,
Although I like all three, I'm not sure how the combination would be, so subtle the choice who tried without passion. Thank you for sharing. I particularly like stanza 5.

"so subtle the passionless choice I tried
all in one, (...) sounds better?
or "all is one" was good?
sorry, but I don't know english so well as spanish, It's difficult to translate poetry without changing the poet's words.
