Sulpicia Elegiae

Tibullus

Sulpicia (attributed author). Six Poems. Mahoney, Anne, translator.

  1. Venus kept her promise: now she can tell
  2. my tale of joy to those who don't believe.
  3. I hardly want to give this letter up
  4. so no one else sees it before he does.
  5. I'm glad I did it — why wear a prudish mask,
  6. as if he wasn't good enough for me!
