AMABO, mea dulcis Ipsitilla,
|
1
|
I entreat you, my sweet lpsitilla,
|
|
meae deliciae, mei lepores,
|
2
|
my darling, my charmer,
|
|
iube ad te ueniam meridiatum.
|
3
|
bid me to come and rest at noonday with you.
|
|
et si iusseris, illud adiuuato,
|
4
|
And if you do bid me, grant me this kindness too,
|
|
ne quis liminis obseret tabellam,
|
5
|
that no one may bar the panel of your threshold,
|
|
neu tibi lubeat foras abire,
|
6
|
nor you yourself have a fancy to go away,
|
|
sed domi maneas paresque nobis
|
7
|
but stay at home and prepare for us
|
|
nouem continuas fututiones.
|
8
|
nine non-stop bouts of sex.
|
|
uerum si quid ages, statim iubeto:
|
9
|
But if you will at all, then bid me come at once:
|
|
nam pransus iaceo et satur supinus
|
10
|
I am lying down after lunch, I am full and on my back,
|
| pertundo tunicamque palliumque. |
11 |
I am boring a hole through
my tunic and cloak. |
