LESBIALesbia
Vivamus mea Lesbia, atque amemus,
rumoresque senum severiorum
omnes unius aestimemus assis!
soles occidere et redire possunt:
nobis cum semel occidit brevis lux,
nox est perpetua una dormienda.
da mi basia mille, deinde centum,
dein mille altera, dein secunda centum,
deinde usque altera mille, deinde centum.
dein, cum milia multa fecerimus,
conturbabimus illa, ne sciamus,
aut ne quis malus invidere possit,
cum tantum sciat esse basiorum.
Lesbia
We live, my Lesbia, and love,
the rumblings of the old too serious
evaluate all a penny!
The sun just go down and come back:
for us, when once the brief light sunsets,
There is one perpetual night to sleep.
Give me a thousand kisses, then a hundred,
More then a thousand, then another hundred,
then still another thousand, then a hundred.
Then, when we shall have made many thousands,
we will mix them for not knowing,
or because no one can envy the wicked,
knowing there so many kisses.

Viviamo, mia Lesbia, ed amiamo,
i brontolii dei vecchi troppo seri
valutiamoli tutti un asse!
I soli posson tramontare e ritornare:
per noi, quando una volta la breve luce tramonti,
c'è un'unica perpetua notte da dormire.
Dammi mille baci, poi cento,
poi mille altri, poi ancora cento,
poi sempre altri mille, poi cento.
Poi, quando ne avrem fatti molte migliaia,
li mescoleremo, per non sapere,
o perché nessun malvagio possa invidiarli,
sapendo esserci tanti baci.

Death
enters and leaves
the tavern.
Black horses
and sinister people pass through
the deep pathways
of the guitar.
And there is a smell of salt
and of female blood
in the fevered tuberoses
of the seaside.
Death
enters and leaves,
and leaves and enters
the death
of the tavern.
Thank You Melissa, I think it's very big for a signature but decreasing the picture in the right and increasing the text size will be perfect!Hi Velut Luna. I admire your work so much that I made you a modified signature. Would you like to use it?
