The relevant stanza reads, in one translation:

The clever king cursed at the gods;
He smote his breast and cried
"My precious one, with whom I used to lodge!
I loved to kiss you while my penis was inside."
Yes, we had sex, and loved in a romantic way.
We were both men: together, we were gay."

Historians continue to debate whether the poem intends to depict the (most likely fictional) King Homerotis as a homosexual.
