As if I mocked him or Love, so wounded he dreams me
on swift legs a doe-woman without bow and arrow
graceful, and shy slender, and modest wise, but a woman
subject to his desire to possess
my desires sharp in view as I run, longingly
looking at him, panting entangled in his hands until he is satisfied
