Of chest and body wasted everywhere;
Of mind devoid of sense and slow of pace;
With age o’ercome.

With her hands Andromacha, for sport,
those tender, playful little hands,
eager and excited, for my head
wove you, extraordinary gift.

O Venus, who keeps love alive,
mother of longing and desire,
it is you who favors me,
your little maid servant,
and spends out a clam day
in front of me.
