《Elegy 5》By：Ovid

[00:00.45]Elegy 5 [00:01.52]by Ovid,translated by Christopher Marlowe [00:02.79]In summer's heat, and mid-time of the day, [00:10.87]To rest my limbs, upon a bed I lay, [00:15.66]One window shut, the other open stood, [00:20.03]Which gave such light, as twinkles in a wood, [00:23.99]Like twilight glimpse at setting of the sun, [00:28.16]Or night being past, and yet not day begun. [00:32.83]Such light to shamefast maidens must be shown, [00:38.94]Where they may sport, and seem to be unknown. [00:43.10]Then came Corinna in a long loose gown, [00:48.35]Her white neck hid with tresses hanging down, [00:52.41]Resembling fair Semiramis going to bed, [00:57.43]Or Lais of a thousand lovers sped. [01:00.99]I snatched her gown: being thin, the harm was small, [01:06.75]Yet strived she to be covered therewithal, [01:09.13]And striving thus as one that would be cast, [01:11.92]Betrayed herself, and yielded at the last. [01:15.94]Stark naked as she stood before mine eye, [01:21.94]Not one wen in her body could I spy, [01:25.70]What arms and shoulders did I touch and see, [01:30.73]How apt her breasts were to be pressed by me, [01:35.76]How smooth a belly, under her waist saw I, [01:40.34]How large a leg, and what a lusty thigh? [01:45.63]To leave the rest, all liked me passing well, [01:50.81]I clinged her naked body, down she fell, [01:55.79]Judge you the rest, being tired she bade me kiss. [02:02.29]Jove send me more such afternoons as this.
