AD CYNTHIAM / Propertius: Book I, Elegy 2. / _"Quid iuvat ornato procedere, vita, capillo / Et tenues Coa veste movere sinus? "_
Why, my love, the yellow trinkets / In your tresses' purer gold? / Why the Syrian perfume? Think it's / Nice to be thus aureoled? / Why the silken robes that rustle? / Why the pigment on the map? / Think you all that fume and fuss'll / Ever charm a chap?
