Amores Ovid 43 B.C.-17 or 18 A.D

Şiir 4

 
But if she's heavy, I suppose at night
 
She'll change, and prove, as I would have her, light,
 
The fair that sings, enchants me with her voice;
 
Oh, what a gust it gives a lover's joys!
 
When her shrill shakes afresh his bosom wound, 45
 
And from her lips he kisses off the sound;
 
When her soft fingers touch the silver strings,
 
And sweetly to the sounding lute she sings;
 
Who can resist such strong redoubled charms?
 
Her music melts me, as her beauty warms 50
 
If in the dance the nimble nymph I find,
 
And view how she her pliant limbs does wind,
 
How artfully she to the music moves,
 
I cry, "How happy is the man she loves!"
 
My humour, in a word, is plainly this, 55
 
All objects please, and nothing comes amiss.
 
To love, and be belov'd my sole employ:
 
Dispos'd to be enjoy'd, and to enjoy.
 
This lady for her length I like, her spread
 
Will swell my arms, and fill the joyous bed; 60
