"Virginity, virginity, when you leave me, where do you go? I am gone and never come back to you. I never return."

"Once again Love drives me on, that loosener of limbs."

"Sweet mother, I cannot weave – slender Aphrodite has overcome me with longing for a girl."

"I would not think to touch the sky with two arms."

"My tongue is broken, a subtle fire runs beneath my skin, my eyes see nothing, my ears hum, cold sweat pours down me, a trembling seizes all my body, and I am greener than grass."
