AVFILENA, bonae semper laudantur amicae:
|
1
|
AUFILENA, kind mistresses are always well spoken of;
|
accipiunt pretium, quae facere instituunt.
|
2
|
they get their price for what they purpose to do.
|
|
tu, quod promisti, mihi quod mentita inimica es,
|
3
|
You are no true mistress, for you promised and now you break faith;
|
quod nec das et fers saepe, facis facinus.
|
4
|
you take and do not give, and that is a scurvy trick.
|
|
aut facere ingenuae est, aut non promisse pudicae,
|
5
|
To comply were handsome, not to promise were to be chaste;
|
Aufillena, fuit: sed data corripere
|
6
|
but to take all you can get
|
|
fraudando officiis, plus quam meretricis auarae
|
7
|
and cheat one of his due shows a woman more greedy than a harlot
|
quae sese toto corpore prostituit.
|
8
|
who prostitutes herself and her entire body.
