Elegia III.
Ad Eunuchum servantem dominam.
- Ay me, an eunuch keeps my mistress chaste,
- That cannot Venus' mutual pleasure taste.
- Who first deprived young boys of their best part,
- With self-same wounds he gave, he ought to smart.
- To kind requests thou would'st more gentle prove,
- If ever wench had made lukewarm thy love:
- Thou wert not born to ride, or arms to bear,
- Thy hands agree not with the warlike spear.
- Men handle those; all manly hopes resign,
- Thy mistress' ensigns must be likewise thine.
10 - Please her—her hate makes others thee abhor;
- If she discards thee, what use serv'st thou for?
- Good form there is, years apt to play together:
- Unmeet is beauty without use to wither.
- She may deceive thee, though thou her protect;
- What two determine never wants effect.
- Our prayers move thee to assist our drift,
- While thou hast time yet to bestow that gift.
