A Poem of Privacy
Mediæval Latin Students Songs(From Wine, Women and Song. Translated by John Addington Symonds) |
WHEN a young man, passion-laden, | |
In a chamber meets a maiden, | |
Then felicitous communion, | |
By love’s strain between the twain, | |
Grows from forth their union; | 5 |
For the game, it hath no name, | |
Of lips, arms, and hidden charms. | |
