in summer's heat, and mid-time of the day,[00:00:04]
to rest my limbs, upon a bed i lay;[00:00:08]
one window shut, the other open stood,[00:00:12]
which gave such light as twinkles in a wood,[00:00:15]
like twilight glimpse at setting of the sun,[00:00:19]
or night being past, and yet not day begun;[00:00:22]
such light to shamefaced maidens must be shown[00:00:27]
where they may sport, and seem to be unknown:[00:00:31]
then came corinna in her long loose gown,[00:00:36]
her white neck hid with tresses hanging down,[00:00:40]
resembling fair semiramis going to bed,[00:00:44]
or lais of a thousand wooers sped.[00:00:48]
i snatched her gown being thin, the harm was small,[00:00:53]
yet strived she to be covered therewithal,[00:00:57]
and striving thus as one that would be cast,[00:01:01]
betrayed herself, and yielded at the last.[00:01:04]
stark naked as she stood before mine eye,[00:01:09]
not one wen in her body could i spy.[00:01:13]
what arms and shoulders did i touch and see,[00:01:17]
how apt her breasts were to be pressed by me,[00:01:22]
how smooth a belly under her waist saw i,[00:01:27]
how large a leg, and what a lusty thigh.[00:01:31]
to leave the rest, all liked me passing well;[00:01:35]
i clinged her naked body, down she fell:[00:01:40]
judge you the rest, being tired she bade me kiss;[00:01:45]
jove send me more such afternoons as this![00:01:51]
