by divers poets in English verse and prose. Translated by Sir Richard Burton and Leonard C. Smithers

  1. And if a rogue come rob our field or venture to trespass
  2. Him thou may'st--Hush! for I know whatso shall follow thou know'st.
  1. What news be here? what send those angry gods?
  2. Whenas in silent night that snow-hued boy
  3. To my warm bosom claspèd lay concealed,
  4. Venus was dormant nor in manly guise
