To wash or scour would make her soft hands rough,

Her own ablutions give pursuit enough;

Three baths a day, with balms and perfumes rare,

Refresh her tender limbs. Her long rich hair

Each time she combs and decks with blooming flowers.

No spouse more fit than she the idle hours

Of wealthy lords or kings to recreate,

And grace the splendour of their courtly state;

For men of humbler sort no better guide

Heaven in its wrath to ruin can provide.
