Poem 1, from Six Poems
~Sulpicia
Edited by Anne Mahoney
At last the love I’ve waited for has come.
(No shame to say so: more to cover up).
My Camenae called on her in prayer,
and Cytherea brought him to my heart.
Venus kept her promise: now she can tell
my tale of joy to those who don’t believe.
I hardly want to give this letter up
so no one else sees it before he does.
I’m glad I did it — why wear a prudish mask,
as if he wasn’t good enough for me!
