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

Şiir 5

 
Unwilling to obtain the victory;
 
So I at last an easy conquest had,
 
Whilst my fair combatant herself betray'd.
 
But when she naked stood before my eyes,
 
Gods, with what charms did she my soul surprise! 25
 
What snowy arms did I both see and feel!
 
With what rich globes did her soft bosom swell!
 
Plump as ripe clusters rose each glowing breast,
 
Courting the hand, and suing to be press'd!
 
What a smooth plain was on her belly spread, 30
 
Where thousand little loves and graces play'd!
 
What thighs! what legs ! but why strive I in vain,
 
Each limb, each grace, each feature to explain
 
One beauty did through her whole body shine;
 
I saw, admir'd, and press'd it close to mine 35
 
The rest who knows not? Thus entranc'd we lay,
 
Till in each other's arms we died away;
 
0 give me such a noon, ye gods, to ev'ry day!
