King [observing closely]: Ah, how sweet and unrestrained is the delight of their sport!
Dishevelled and loosened, her mass of hair sheds its fashioned garland's beauty, / and these two anklets clasping her feet cry out doubly loud for the drunken maid; / while this displaced necklace, tossing from the continuous trembling, strikes her breast incessantly / as if in torment, heedless of breaking her waist that bends under the weight of her breasts as she plays. || 16
