Quintia formosa est multis ; mihi candida , longa ,
recta est . Haec ego sic singula confiteor ,
totum illud formosa nego : nam nulla venustas ,
nulla in tam magno est corpore mica salis .
Lesbia formosa est , quae cum pulcherrima tota est ,
tum omnibus una omnes surripuit Veneres .

We
have
heard
of
Quintia
'
s
beauty
.
To
me
she
is
tall
,
slender
and
of
a
white
'
beauty
.
'
Such
things
I
freely
admit
;
but
such
things
do
not
constitute
beauty
.
In
her
there
is
nothing
of
Venus
,
not
a
pinch
of
love
spice
in
her
long
body
.
While
Lesbia
,
Lesbia
is
loveliness
indeed
.
Herself
of
particular
beauty
has
she
not
plundered
womanhood
of
all
its
graces
,
flaunting
them
as
her
adornment
?
