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

Şiir 14

 
Talk not of honour, lay that toy aside,
 
In men 'tis folly, and in women pride;
 
There without blushes you may naked lie,
 
Clasping his body with your tender thigh;
 
Shoot your moist dart into his mouth, to show 25
 
The sense you have of what he acts below;
 
Try all the ways, your pliant bodies twine,
 
In folds more strange than those of Aretine:
 
With melting looks fierce joys you may excite,
 
And with thick dying accents urge delight. 30
 
But when you're dress'd, then look as innocent
 
As if you knew not what such matters meant;
 
Cozen the prying town, and put a cheat
 
On it and me, I'll favour the deceit.
 
False as thou art, why must I daily see 35
 
Th' intriguing billet-doux he sends to thee ?
 
The wanton sonnet, or soft elegy ?
 
Why does your bed all tumbled seem to say,
 
See what they've done, see where the lovers lay!
 
Why do your locks and rumpled head-clothes show 40
