"Often, the slave, senile state / with ice-in her veins, the poor bones, from the last sweet indolence / she hates everything she can't do. / The unloved casts slander / on the night of love flowing in peace; / and the pleasure that is not given to him / in another is immediately condemned.

Often, the slave, senile state / with ice-in her veins, the poor bones, from the last sweet indolence / she hates everything she can't do. / The unloved casts slander / on the night of love flowing in peace; / and the pleasure that is not given to him / in another is immediately condemned.
""Ades, nevolnica, senilă stare / cu gheață-n vine, oasele sărace, de dulcele din urmă neinstare / urăște tot ce ea nu poate face. / Cel neiubit azvârle defăimare / pe noaptea dragostei curgând în pace; / iar desfătarea ce nu-i este dată / în altul e pe dată condamnată."
