[153] Ed. A. "her faire white body." ("Et nudam pressi corpus ad usque meum.")


Elegia VI.[154]

Ad Janitorem, ut fores sibi aperiat.

Unworthy porter, bound in chains full sore,

On movèd hooks set ope the churlish door.

Little I ask, a little entrance make,

The gate half-ope my bent side in will take.

Long love my body to such use make slender,

And to get out doth like apt members render.
