69. To Cosconius -
In your poems there's nothing the modest to vex,
Not a line in the lot that makes mention of sex.
For myself, I confess it, my books are too free,
And I praise and I wonder at your purity.
Let ladies of pleasure and naughty young men
And amorous elders delight in my pen:
But the chaste decent verses, which to us you sing,
For vestals and children will be quite the thing.
Not a line in the lot that makes mention of sex.
For myself, I confess it, my books are too free,
And I praise and I wonder at your purity.
Let ladies of pleasure and naughty young men
And amorous elders delight in my pen:
But the chaste decent verses, which to us you sing,
For vestals and children will be quite the thing.
