Amores

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

Şiir 11

 
'Twas plain I shared with many more your heart.
 
What need I of your perjuries bring proof,
 
Suppose the common talk was not enough!
 
What do your ogles and your gestures mean,
 
Your carriage at th' assembly and the scene ? 45
 
There's scarce a fop you meet with in your way,
 
To whom you have not something soft to say;
 
Some token which you either understand
 
By mystic words or motion of the hand.
 
They tell me you are sick; I run to see, 50
 
And find, as ill as you pretend to be,
 
It is not for my rival, but for me.
 
I seldom told you of your faults, but strove
 
To cover all your failings with my love;
 
Of this I might remind you, and much more, 55
 
But what avails it now; th' affair is o'er:
 
A fond you found me, and a patient man,
 
And get you such another if you can.
 
I fear not now your frowns; my bark defies
 
The storm of words, and tempest of your eyes; 60
