O you who are cruel still, and a master of Venus\u2019s gifts,<\/p>\n
when a white, unexpected plumage surmounts all your arrogance,<\/p>\n
and the tresses that wave on your shoulders have all been shorn away,<\/p>\n
and the colour that now outshines the flower of the crimson rose<\/p>\n
is transformed, my Ligurinus, and has changed into roughened skin:<\/p>\n
whenever you look at your altered face in the mirror, you\u2019ll say:<\/p>\n
\u2018Why didn\u2019t I have, when I was a youth, the mind I have today,<\/p>\n
or why can\u2019t those untouched cheeks return to visit this soul of mine?\u2019<\/p>\n
