And are you too in pain and do your eyes
Burn with the tears that all unbidden rise?
Or do you lie in slumber soft and deep
And of my love nor thought nor reckoning keep?
Ah, my Philinna, you will suffer yet
And I shall see your cheeks with teardrops wet.
Venus is cruel, but she knoweth how
Beneath her wrath to make a proud maid bow.
