Janus Pannonius: De Silvia

Portre of Janus Pannonius

De Silvia (Latin)

Ex te concipio, meretrix mihi, Silvia, dicis,

   Silvia, non magis hoc dicere, crede, potes;

Quam si per spinas incedens, Silvia, densas,

   Dixeris: ista meum, laesit iniqua, pedem.

Über Silvia (German)

Silvia, du, eine Dirne, behauptest: "Ich bin von dir schwanger."

Silvia, sage das doch, glaube mir, lieber nicht laut!

Das ist, als gingest du, Silvia, mitten durch Hecken und klagtest:

"Ach, dieser elende Dorn hat mir den Schenkel zerschrammt!"
