Elegiac Couplets

Literal English Translation	Original Latin	Line
Do not wonder, o Rufus, why no woman   wants to place her dainty thigh under you, not if you should undermine her with a gift of rare clothes   or with the pleasures of a transparent jewel. A certain bad story hurts you, by which a wild billy-goat   is said to dwell under the valley of your upper arms. All fear this; nor is it strange: for it is a very bad   beast, nor one with which a pretty girl would lie. Therefore, either kill the cruel pest of the noses   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
