No wonder if she has bewitched you with
No wonder if languor troubles you at times,
her glances—she of languid eyelids.
And eyes grow listless in their weary round;

For lovers' downfalls lie
For lovers' breasts between love's wane and rise
between languor and enchantment.
Are battle-fields for peace and tumult bound.
