Sulpicia Elegiae

Tibullus

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

  1. Let's spend the day together, as we hoped:
  2. we've had the good luck you were waiting for.
  1. I should be glad you think that you can cheat:
  2. what a fool I'd be to fall into your arms.
  3. Go: court your working girl as she spins her wool
  4. instead of Sulpicia daughter of Servius.
  5. My family are concerned I might lose out
  6. to the affections of an unknown's bed.
  1. Cerinthus, do you care that I am sick,
  2. my body wracked with fever and fatigue?
