I will let my body flow like water over the gentle cushions.
Once again love drives me on, that loosener of limbs, bittersweet creature against which nothing can be done.
He who is fair to look upon is good, and he who is good will soon be fair also.
Stars veil their beauty soon / Beside the glorious moon, / When her full silver light / Doth make the whole earth bright.
The moon has set, and the Pleiades; it is midnight, and time passes, and I sleep alone.
Death is an evil; the gods have so judged; had it been good, they would die.
