She said with coy airs, in the words of one afraid:
She spoke and acted coyly, saying words of caution:
Leave me, for the slanderer's tongue has grown long.
"Leave me be, for the gossip's tongue has grown too long.

So that I may be free of widespread malicious talk,
That I may clear myself of wicked rumors’ stain,
I have chosen to forsake you, without feeling lonely.
I have, shamelessly, your abandonment obtained."
