Elegia VII.
Amicæ se purgat, quod ancillam non amet.
- Dost me of new crimes always guilty frame?
- To overcome, so oft to fight I shame.
- If on the marble theatre I look,
- One among many is, to grieve thee, took.
- If some fair wench me secretly behold,
- Thou arguest she doth secret marks unfold.
- If I praise any, thy poor hairs thou tearest;
- If blame, dissembling of my fault thou fearest.
- If I look well, thou think'st thou dost not move,
- If ill, thou say'st I die for others' love.
10 - Would I were culpable of some offence!
- They that deserve pain, bear't with patience.
- Now rash accusing, and thy vain belief,
- Forbid thine anger to procure my grief.
- Lo, how the miserable great-eared ass,
- Dulled with much beating, slowly forth doth pass!
- Behold Cypassis, wont to dress thy head,
- Is charged to violate her mistress' bed!
- The gods from this sin rid me of suspicion,
- To like a base wench of despised condition.
20 - With Venus' game who will a servant grace?
- Or any back, made rough with stripes, embrace?
- Add she was diligent thy locks to braid,
- And, for her skill, to thee a grateful maid.
- Should I solicit her that is so just,—
- To take repulse, and cause her show my lust?
- I swear by Venus, and the winged boy's bow,
- Myself unguilty of this crime I know.
