De Inconstantia Foeminei Amoris

CATUL. EP. 71.
 
      DE INCONSTANTIA FOEMINEI AMORIS.
 
Nulli se dicit mulier mea nubere velle,
 Quam mihi: non, si Jupiter ipse petat;
Dicit; sed mulier cupido quod dicit amanti,
 In vento et rapida scribere oportet aqua.
 
           FEMALE INCONSTANCY.
 
My mistresse sayes she’ll marry none but me;
No, not if Jove himself a suitor be.
She sayes so; but what women say to kind
Lovers, we write in rapid streams and wind.
