Elegiac Couplets

Literal English Translation	Original Latin	Line
Don't wonder, O Rufus, why no woman wants to place under [you] her dainty thigh, not if you undermine her with a gift of rare clothing or with the delights of a transparent jewel. A certain ugly rumor hurts you, by which a wild billy-goat is said to dwell under your armpits' valley. All fear this, nor strange: for it's a very bad beast and not one with which a pretty girl would lie. Hence, either kill the cruel pestilence of the nostrils or cease to wonder why they flee.	Noli admirari quare tibi femina nulla, Rufe, velit tenerum supposuisse femur, non si illam rarae labefactes munere vestis aut perluciduli deliciis lapidis. laedit te quaedam mala fabula, qua tibi fertur valle sub alarum trux habitare caper. hunc metuunt omnes; neque mirum: nam mala valde est bestia, nec quicum bella puella cubet. quare aut crudelem nasorum interfice pestem, aut admirari desine cur fugiant.	69.1 69.2 69.3 69.4 69.5 69.6 69.7 69.8 69.9 69.10
