Whether it be a Triton's or a Nymph's

That pours the foam, makes rainbows all around?

You could not praise indeed the empty conch;

But I 'll pour floods of love and hide myself.

How I will love him! Cannot men love love?

Who was a queen and loved a poet once

Humpbacked, a dwarf? ah, women can do that!

Well, but men too; at least, they tell you so.

They love so many women in their youth,

And even in age they all love whom they please;
