"O innocent-eyed girl, even without a bodice you possess an enchanting / beauty"—as her beloved said this and touched its knot, / delighted by the festival for the eyes of her smiling face as she sat near the bed, / the circle of female confidantes departed slowly, offering false excuses. ||23
Even when a frown is formed, the glance looks up with still greater longing; / even when the heart is made hard, the body undergoes horripilation; / even when speech is checked, this cursed face breaks into a smile; / when that person is seen, how can amorous petulance be maintained? ||24
