Chapter 4 Volume 3 The Recipe for Love

I have just now armed the Greeks against the Amazons: O Bendaisileia, now I will give arms to you and your valiant army.Go to battle with equal arms; victory belongs to Venus and the child who spreads his wings and flies through the universe.It is not right to leave you defenseless against a well-armed foe: and it is shameful for you, man, to be so overcome. But maybe someone will say: "Why do you still give new venom to the viper? Why do you open the sheep shed to let the ferocious female wolf in?" Please don't add the sins of a few women to everything. women, we should judge according to their behavior.The youngest and eldest sons of Atreus may bring a serious reproach, one to Helen, the other to Helen's sister; the sin of Eliphele, daughter of Daraoth, will be alive on a living horse and the son of Oikehos went to the banks of the Styx.

But Penelope kept her chastity when her husband spent ten years in war and ten years in wandering.Think of the grandson of Ferragus and the man who followed him to the underworld at a flowery age. The woman of Bagasa bought back the life of her husband, the son of Phaedus, with her own life. "Accept me, Capanius, at least our ashes will be combined," said Iphias, and he threw himself into the crematorium. Is it any wonder she is favored by virtue, which is clothed and named after a woman?Yet my art is not for these great souls, and a smaller sail would suffice for my ships.I only teach light love.I will teach women how to be lovable.Women do not know how to resist Cupid's fire and arrows; I think his arrows penetrate deeper into a woman's heart than into a man's.Men are always deceitful, and delicate women are not so much deceitful.If you study women for a while, you will find that there are very few people who are betrayed.The mothered woman born on the shore of Facis was deceived and abandoned by Jason, who accepted another bride in her bosom.O Theseus, Ariadne was left alone in a place she didn't know, and almost became food for sea-birds.You go and find out why there is a road called "Nine Roads", and the answer is: The woods cried and Phyllis dropped their leaves on her grave.Your guest was pious to man's honour; yet, O Alisa, you received a sword and disappointment from him, and killed yourself.Unhappy people, I will tell you the reason for your misery: You do not know how to love.You lack art, and that is what makes love enduring.Even today they still don't understand, but the goddess of Kudaila ordered me to teach my lessons to women.She appeared before me and said to me: "Have you any offense against those unfortunate women? You have cast their defenseless corps over well-armed men. Men you have done for them Having written two volumes, they have mastered their art of love; it is natural for women to receive your lessons. The man who first scolded the wife who was born in Terapone, then in a more She is sung in the poem of happiness. If I know you who have loved women, please don't make them suffer. The reward for this service is what you can ask for in your life." When she stood in front of me Saying this, she plucked a leaf and a few pomegranates from the crown of pomegranates she wore on her head and gave them to me.When I accepted it, I felt a divine response; the air was extraordinarily bright and clean, and the tiredness of work definitely did not weigh on my heart.When Venus is interested in me, woman!Come and study here!Chastity and law permit you; your interest invites you.From now on, please think of the age that will soon come: so that you will not waste your time.Amusement while you can still play, while you are still in the spring of life!Time flows away like passing water, and the passing wave will never return to the source of water; once time passes, it will also go away and never return.Don't disappoint the good times: it flies by so fast, today is not as good as yesterday.Where these thorns grow I have seen violets bloom; and this prickly thorn once furnished me with a fine crown.You are young now, and push your lover away, but a time comes, old and alone, when you will shiver at night in your lonely bed.Your door shall not be broken by the nightly quarrels of rivals, nor shall you see roses strewn across the threshold in the morning.ah ah!How quickly our skin wrinkles!How quickly our splendid countenances changed!Then you swear that the gray hair you had when you were a girl will not be all over your head.The snake casts off its old age when it sheds its skin, and the deer grows young again when it puts on its antlers; The flowers are empty and the branches are broken.Having too many children is especially good for aging quickly, and too many harvests will dry out the fields. "Moon," Endymion did not shame you on Latmo, and Caphalus was not ashamed to be robbed by the rose-fingered goddess, and Athos is not to be said, Venus still weeps him; whence come her Aeneas and Harmonia?Mortal women, you must follow the example of the gods, do not deny your lovers what they wish, and give them that joy.Suppose they deceived you, what would you have to lose?All that you have, you still keep.A thousand people can get your favor, but they can't lose you in case.With time, iron and stone will wear out; but the thing I'm talking about is resistant to everything, and you don't have to worry about losing a little.Does a candle lose its light when it is lit by another candle?Will a small spoonful dry up the sea?However, perhaps a woman replied to the man, "There is no way." What?What do you have to lose?It's just the water you take to bathe in.I am not advising you to commit yourself to all passers-by.But do not doubt that there is any loss: in giving, you lose nothing.Soon I'll want a stronger wind; and now that I'm in port, a light breeze is enough to carry me on!

I'll start with the art of shaping the appearance first.A well-cultivated grape will produce a lot of wine; a well-cultivated field will yield a rich harvest.Beauty is a gift from God; but there are few people who can be proud of their beauty!Many of you have not received this gift.The art of shaping your appearance will give you a handsome face.A face left untouched, even if it is like that of Idarian's goddess, loses all its splendor.If women in the past didn't care about their beauty, then their husbands wouldn't care about them either.Is it surprising that the garment that draped Andromache was made of rough cloth?Her husband was nothing but a rough soldier.Did anyone see the wife of Ares going to her husband with seven hides for a shield, in all her splendor?Formerly a rustic simplicity ruled; now Rome shines with gold and the riches of all the world she has conquered.Just look at the Capitoline now and the Capitoline of the past; people will say it is dedicated to another Zeus.The Senate is now well suited to that solemn assembly.It was nothing more than a simple hut when King Dardeus ruled the country.What was this Palatine, where the splendid edifices under the protection of Apollo and our leaders were?Just a pasture for cattle.Let others boast of the past; for me, I celebrate my birth in this world.Now this century suits my taste.Is it because in this day gold is taken from the ground, pearl oysters are taken from the coasts everywhere, mountains are seen to be wiped away by taking marble, and our dams drive back the blue waves?No, it's because people now pay attention to the art of beautification, and the savagery that existed in our ancestors for a long time no longer exists by our time.But hang neither to your ears the costly gems which the black Hindoos pluck in the green waters, nor put on the light gold-dropped brocades that hinder you.This kind of scene, you originally wanted to use to lure us, but in the end it scared us away.

Simple and elegant attire will make you lovable.Don't mess up your hair.Mama's hand combing hair can add beauty or detract from it.There are many styles of combing hair; each person chooses a style that suits him, the first thing is to look in the mirror.The face is so long that the hair is combed on the forehead without any decoration. This is the combing method of Laodamia.Comb your hair up and form a small bun in front of your forehead, exposing your ears. This combing method is suitable for women with round faces.There are young women who let their long hair fall over their shoulders, like you, Apollo of Harmony, when you tune your harp.Some should have their hair braided, like Diana, who always wore a short gown when she was chasing wild animals in the woods.Some with flowing curly hair fascinate us.Some comb their hair flat and stick it to their temples, making us ecstasy.Some should be decorated with tortoiseshell combs.Some should curl their hair in waves.The acorns of the dense oak, the bees of the Hibra, the beasts of the Albert, are all counted, and the new ways of combing the hair that come out every day are innumerable.Casual grooming is suitable for many people. This kind of grooming is thought to be done the day before and now it is rearranged.Art should imitate chance.This is how Iol appeared before Hercules after the break; and when Heracles saw her, he said, "It is this I love." And you, the outcast Daughter of Gnossos, so did you when Bacchus lifted you into his chariot amidst the Satyros' cry of "Hohoi."

Hylas and the Water Fairies Women, God is so willing to help your love, you have a thousand ways to remedy the damage of time; as for us men, we have no way to cover up the damage of time; The lost hair fell like leaves blown by the north wind.And the women dye their gray hair with the juice of Germanet; technology gives them a false color, which is better than the natural color.And the woman came forward with the thick hair she had just bought, and, for a few bucks, other people's hair could be transformed into theirs.And they were not shy about buying wigs openly in front of Hercules and the Muses.

What can I say about clothing?What do I have to do with that gorgeous fringe and woolen fabric dyed with red fur?There are more and more cheap colors!Why carry all your property on your back?Look at the blue sky, just like the sunny sky when the rain clouds are blown away by the south wind; look at the golden yellow, which is the color of the ram who rescued Phryxos and Hele from Ino's poisonous plan.This green imitates sea water, from which it gets its name.I am willing to believe that this is the shirt of the water fairy.This color is like tulip grass, which is the color of the tulip grass robe of the goddess who rides the shining steed with the dew.There you'll find the color of the guava of Bafors, here the purple-ruby, the pale rose, or the crane-feather of Trachia.We also have Amaryllis, the color of chestnuts you love, the color of almonds, and the color of the cloth that gets its name from beeswax.Wool has as many colors as, perhaps more, than the shoots of the ground when the warmth of spring made the grapes sprout and drove away the idle winter.Among these many colors, you pay attention to the choice!Because not all colors are suitable for all women.Black is for fair-skinned women, and black is for Blytheis, who was wearing black when she was plundered.White is for brown women: O daughter of Cepheus, a white gown makes you extraordinarily charming; this is the color of your garments when you landed in Serifos.I'm about to tell you not to get body odor under your armpits and shags on your legs.But my lessons are not for the women who live under the rocks of the Caucasus and who drink the water of the Gaigus of Mysia.What good is it that you do not neglect to clean your teeth and wash your face every morning on the dresser?You will whiten your faces with lead powder, and those whose skin is not naturally red can make it red by hand.Your art can also remedy the problem of your eyebrows being too far apart, and you can use "makeup" to stick to the traces of your age.And do not be ashamed to add to the luster of your eyes by dyeing the circles of your eyes with fine ash or tulips that grow on the banks of the clear Chitnos.I have written a monograph, short but subtle, on the methods that make you beautiful.You young women who are not favored by heaven, you can also go there to ask for soldiers: my art does not hesitate to teach you with beneficial words.

But don't let your lover catch a glimpse of you sitting at a table full of lockets: let art make you beautiful from others.Who would not be disgusted to see the scum of wine all over your face, falling down to your chest due to its weight?The smell of the powder made of lipid liquid is such a smell!Though the liquid was taken from unwashed wool, brought from Athens.I don't even advise you to use deer pulp in front of others, or to clean your teeth in front of others.These, I know, will make you more charming, but the sight is not very respectable; how many things are ugly when done, and how we like to see them when they are done!Look at these statues today, the work of hard-working Miró, which was once a piece of solid stone, a shapeless piece of metal.To make a gold ring there must first be hammering; and the clothes you now wear were once only unclean wool.This marble statue, which was once nothing but a piece of stone, is now a famous statue, the naked Venus wringing the water from her hair.In the same way, when you work on your beauty, you let us think you are still asleep: it will be much better when you come out after you are finished.Why do you want me to know the reason why your faces are so white?Close your bedroom door.Why expose the incomplete project?There are many things that men should be obsessed with.If we see through the inside story, we will dislike almost any appearance.The golden ornaments on the theater, if you look carefully, they are just a piece of wood covered with a thin layer of gold leaf!Spectators are not allowed to come closer to watch the play until it is over.It is for the same reason that you should adorn yourself when the men are not around.Yet I do not forbid you to have your hair brushed before us: I love to see your hair fall over your shoulders.But you should not have any bad temper, and you should not let people comb and comb again and again.Don't make your combing mothers fear of you.I hate women who scratch Mama's face with her fingernails and poke her arms with hairpins.She cursed the head of her mistress, which she still held in her hands, while she bled and dripped her tears on the hideous hair.Every woman who cannot boast of her hair should have a sentry at the door, or be always combing her hair in the Temple of Goodness.One day they informed a woman of my sudden presence: in her haste she had put the wig upside down.May such a great insult be inflicted upon our enemies!May this disgrace be prepared for the women of Baldi!A cow without horns, a field without grass, a tree without leaves and a head without hair are all extremely ugly things.Semele or Lida, my lesson is not for you, nor is it for you, the Xitong woman who was carried overseas by a fake cow, and it is not for Helen.This Helen, Menelaus, you are justified in taking her, and you, the Trojan who robbed her, have a reason in not letting her go.Among my female disciples, there are beautiful and ugly ones, and the ugly ones make up the majority!Beautiful women do not necessarily need the help and lessons of my homework, they have their own beauty, and do not need art to exercise its authority.When the sea is calm, the helmsman can rest in peace; when there is a storm, he will not leave his helm.But a face without flaws is rare!Hide these flaws, and try to minimize your physical imperfections.If you are short, you should sit, because you are afraid that people will think you are sitting when you are standing; if you are short, you should lie on the bed.Lying like this, others will not be able to look at your figure.And cover your feet with a shirt.If you are too thin, you will wear thick cloth clothes, and then use a large cloak to drape over your shoulders.The pale face must be painted with rouge, and the brown face must be rescued from the fish of Farus.The deformed feet had to be hidden in fine white leather shoes; the thin legs were never visible without a leather belt.Thin little pads make up for uneven shoulders; if the chest is flat, you have to cover a breast stocking.If your fingers are too thick or your nails are too rough, never make gestures when speaking; a woman with too strong a tone must not speak when she is hungry, and she should stand far away when speaking to a man Far.If your teeth are too dark, too long, too crooked, then your smile will be very, very bad.

Who would believe it?Women even learn how to laugh, an art that makes them extra coquettish.Don't open your mouth too wide; let your cheeks have two little dimples, and let your lower lip cover the upper cusps.Don't laugh for too long, and don't laugh too many times, so that your smile will be gentle and delicate, and everyone will love it.Some women twisted their mouths and laughed, making an ugly look; some women laughed loudly, but we sounded like they were crying.And there are women who confuse our ears with coarse and unpleasant sounds, like the braying of an old she-ass.Where does art not stretch?Women even learn to cry beautifully!They shed tears when they were about to cry or seemed to be crying.What shall I say of the woman who ate off the important letters and barely kept her tongue out?The problem with this kind of pronunciation is that they are a kind of coquettish: they learn to speak more badly.This is a trivial matter, but since it is useful, you must study it carefully.You must learn the footwork suitable for women.There is an undeniable beauty in walking, which can attract or repel a man you don't know.This one, with her hips swinging legally, making her gown sway in the wind, walked forward step by step with dignity.That one, striding along like a yellow-faced woman from Umberley.On this, as on other events, there should be a measure.This one is too rustic and that one is too soft and careful.Also, you have to leave the shoulders and the upper part of the left arm exposed.This is especially true for fair-skinned women.Thrilled by the sight, I would long to kiss what I saw from that shoulder.

The Sealands are fairies of the sea, and they stop the speeding ships with their melodious singing.The son of Sisyphus nearly broke the cords that bound him when he heard them singing, but his companions, thanks to the wax that sealed their ears, were not tempted.A melodious singing voice is a charming thing: women, learn to sing (there are many unbeautiful women who use their voices as a method of seduction).You should sometimes recite the tune you heard from the theater of the marble, and sometimes sing the light song of the Nile with its own rhythm.Those women who want to ask me for advice should not be ignorant of the art of holding a bow in the right hand and a harp in the left.Orpheus, the singer of Radaupa, can move rocks, beasts, Tartar lakes, and three-headed dogs with his lyre.You are a very righteous person who avenged your mother. After hearing your singing, those stubborn stones obediently came to build a new city wall.Although the fish is dumb, it can feel the rhythm of the piano, if you believe the story of Arion that is well known to the public.Learn to play the guqin with both hands: this cheerful instrument is good for love.

You must also know the poetry of Gallimachus, the poet of Gauss, and the old man of Dios, the friend of wine.You also have to get to know Sappho (is there anything more voluptuous than her poetry?) and that of Menandre who writes about a father who is cheated by that treacherous Gorda.You may also read the amorous Propatius, the chapters of Gallus, or our lovely Tipulus, or the hymn to Phryxos by Valus. The poem of the sister and the so unfortunate golden ram.You should especially recite the poem of the traveling poet of Aenaes in exile, the sublime builder of Rome, the greatest masterpiece of the Latin race.Perhaps the lowly name of the humble can be attached to their great name; perhaps the humble work will not be submerged by the water of the Laidai River.Yes, perhaps one would say: "If you were a learned woman, read the poems that our teacher taught men and women; Read the poems in a gentle and clear voice; or read a piece of his "Letters from Celebrities" in a light tone, a genre that no one knew before him, he was the inventor. "Apollo, mighty horned Bacchus, and you, chaste sisters, protectors of poets, hear my wishes!

I would like--the others are beyond doubt--that women can dance.That way, when she was asked to dance, she could walk across the table, swinging her arms gracefully.A good dancer delights all spectators in the theater.How seductive is this fine art to us!I am ashamed to speak so trivially; but I hope that my disciples will be good at throwing dice, and will count the points when they are rolled.She should sometimes roll a three and sometimes just happen to roll the winnable and needed pip.I also hope that my disciples will not suffer defeat when playing chess.A "pawn" cannot defeat two enemies: the "king" and the "queen" must fight separately, and the enemy will flee if they try their best.Anger exposes our character, and our mood is nakedly seen through.Anger, winning takes hold of us, so quarrels, fights, and bitter regrets ensue.We complained to each other; the air was full of quarrels; everyone cursed at each other.In gambling, there is no credit. In order to win money, people may bet on their wishes!I even see people with tears streaming down their faces from time to time.Women who want to court, may the god Zeus spare you these shameful shortcomings! Women, these are the things your graceful nature allows you to do.As for men, their scope is even wider.Their games are tennis, javelin, discus, weapons and training horses.The stadium is not to your taste, nor the icy waters of the Maiden Spring, nor the calm waters of the Duscus.Then you can, and as long as you are useful, take a walk under the Gate of Pompeius when the steed of the "Sun" is galloping into the "House of the Virgins".Prowl to the temple of laurel-crowned Apollo on the Palatine—it was he who sank the Baledonian ships at the bottom of the sea—or to the sister and queen of the Great Emperor, It's also good to walk around the memorial built by his son-in-law wearing the navy crown.The altar that offers incense to the cow of Memphis will also go.The three theaters that can be in the limelight are especially must-go.The arena where the new blood is still hot and the racetrack where the horses and carriages are spinning have to be run frequently.Those who are hidden are not known; those who are not known are not what people want.What's the use of a beautiful face if you don't show it to others?If you sing, you can surpass Damiras and Amobus; if your rhyme is not heard by others, how can you get famous?If Apales, the painter of Gauss, hadn't exhibited his "Venus painting", the goddess might still be sunk in the sea by now.What was the ambition of those poets other than "immortality"?This is the final purpose for which our work awaits.In former times poets were favored by gods and kings; in ancient times their songs were rewarded innumerably; the names of poets were sacred and revered, and they were often bestowed with innumerable riches.Great Scibio, Anneus, who was born in the hills of Galabria, is supposed to have been buried beside you.But gentleness is now in disgrace; the industriousness of the Muses has been given the name of idleness.But no matter what, we are always happy to seek fame.Who would have known Homer if that immortal masterpiece, the Iliad, had not been known to this day?Who would know Danae, if she were always hidden in her tower?She must have been known by no one, and turned into an old woman.Young beauties, it is useful to be lively.You have to run outside from time to time.The female wolf goes to the flock of sheep to find food; the bird of Zeus soars in the field of many small birds.Beautiful women should also show their faces in the crowd.In a crowd of people, she might be able to find a man to seduce.She has to be ostentatious here and there, and she has to pay attention to everything that adds to the beauty.Opportunities abound, always hold your hooks, there will be fish in waters where you thought there were none.It is common for hounds to search for nothing on the wooded hills, but when people do not hunt, the elk will throw themselves into the snare.Was it not the last Andromeda, bound to the rock, could hope to see her tears seduce someone?It is not uncommon to find another man when one's husband is buried.Walking with disheveled hair and letting myself cry, there is nothing more beautiful in a woman. But you should ignore men who flaunt dress and beauty, where every hair has its place.What they say to you, they have said to thousands of women, their love is absolutely unreliable.What can a woman do with a man who is less persistent and more passionate than herself?You won't believe it, but you should believe me.Daughter of Priam, if I had listened to you, Troy would never have been broken.Some men come to exploit women under the guise of love, they just want to find some unnatural gains from this way.Don't be seduced by their glossy hair, or their girdles, or their rings all over their fingers.Perhaps the most beautifully dressed will be a thief who wants to steal your finery. "Give me back our things!" This is what the deceived women often shout.The whole court resounds with the cry: "Give me back what is mine!" O Venus, O Abias, thy neighbours, come unmoved from your golden temples Look at these entanglements.Besides the thieves, there are also those famous whores, and the women who fall into their tricks will not avoid sharing their infamy.Lesson learned, your doors should never let in a tempter.Daughters of Cycropes, believe not the oath of Theseus; it is not the first time he swears by the gods.And you, Dymovon, lucky heir of Theseus, after deceiving Phyllis, no one believes you.If your sweethearts can talk very well, you can talk as well as they do.And if they bring you something, answer them with considerable friendship, a woman is capable of quenching the everlasting fire of Vesta, robbing the shrine of the daughter of Inagus, and offering poisoned wine to her husband. Yes, if you accept the lover's gift and don't give him the orgy of love. golden age But I didn't go further than that.Rein in your steed, Muse, and stay within bounds.A letter came to probe, a clever maid accepted it, read it carefully, and the words used in the letter are enough to make you discern whether the wishes expressed are sincere or not. of heart.Do not reply immediately.Waiting, provided it is not too long, can make love extraordinarily intense.You have to put some airs on a young lover's request, but don't say no to it.It should make him terrified, but at the same time give him some hope and reduce his fear.The words used by women should be concise and kind: there is nothing sweeter in the tone of common conversation.How many times has a letter kindled the wandering flames of a heart!How many times has an unreasonable phrase destroyed the phantom of beauty!But, without that mask of chastity, To deceive your husbands without making them suspicious, You must have a discreet maid or slave to pass your letters to and from.Young and inexperienced slaves are never to be trusted.Undoubtedly, the man who kept such a charge had no conscience, but all his weapons were more powerful than the thunder of Mount Etna.I have seen countless women, because of this kind of carelessness, their faces turned blue with fear, and they suffered a lifetime of great losses.In my opinion, we can use deception for deceit, and the law also allows weapons against weapons; you must have the ability to write several kinds of handwriting with one hand. (Ah! Those who forced me to teach you this method are dead to me!) Those who reply without first erasing the handwriting are fools, and there are two handwritings on the post.When you write to your lovers, you must use the tone you write to your girlfriend; in your letters, you must say "she" wherever you say "he". But let's put these little things aside and talk about the important things.In order to keep your good looks, you have to hold back your temper.Equanimity is to man as rage is to beasts.When he got angry, his face became stiff, the veins thickened with black blood, and in his eyes, all the fires of the Gorgon were kindled. "Go away, you wretched flute; I am not worth sacrificing my beauty for you," said Pallas, seeing his shadow in the water.You too, when you are angry, if you look in the mirror, no one will recognize that it is your face.Pride will also destroy your beauty. To hook love, you need to wink.Believe my experience; the air of being too proud is an abomination to us.Often even though they don't say a word, there is a root of hatred on their face.Someone looks at you, and you look at him.Someone smiles tenderly at you, and you smile tenderly at him.If someone nods to you, you also say hello to him.Cupid also tried first with blunt arrows, and then drew sharp arrows from his quiver.We also abhor sorrow.Let Deke Mesa be loved by Ayos. For a happy nation like ours, only a happy woman can arouse our hearts.No, it's definitely not Andromache, and it's definitely not Deck Mesa. Of the two of you, I don't want either of you to be my lover.I don't even quite believe it, though your children and grandchildren make me believe that you ever slept with your husbands.How could a woman in mourning say to Ajax "O my life" and all the words that men hear to make them feel good? Permit me to quote a few examples of great art to my insignificant art, and to compare it with the attempts of the Generalissimo of the Generalissimo.A shrewd generalissimo entrusts to one general the command of a hundred infantry, another a troop of cavalry, another a standard guard.The same is true for you, you have to examine whether someone among us is worthy to do something, it is useful to you.Gifts from rich people, ideas from jurists, lawsuits from lawyers, and poems for us poets.Our bunch know love better than any; We'll make famous the beauty that fascinates us.Nemesis is famous; so is Chindia.自西至东，丽高里斯的名字谁都知道了，而且人们也时常问起那我所讴歌的高丽娜是谁。我还要说，那些诗人，神圣的人物，是有一颗不知道“负心”的心，而我们的艺术又用它的意象把我们改造过了。我们是既不为野心，又不为金钱所动摇的；我们厌恶名利，只要阴暗和一张卧榻就满足了。我们是容易结识的，我们是烧着一堆长久而热烈的情火的，我们是知道用真心真意爱着的。无疑地，我们的性格已经受我们的和平的艺术陶冶过了，而我们的习惯也是和我们的努力同化了。青年的美人啊，对于诗人们，鲍艾沃阿的神祗的弟子，你们是应当迁就些的。灵风使他们有利，缪斯们宠爱他们，我们身上附着神明，而我们又和天有交往，我们的灵感是从天上降下来的。博学的诗人的等待金钱是一种罪恶。ah ah!这一种什么女子都怕做的罪恶。女人啊，你们至少要会矫饰，不要一下子就把你们的贪心露出来。一看见是陷阱，一个新的情郎就要吓跑了。 一个老练的马夫的用辔，对于新马和对于旧马是不相同的。同一的理由，为要引诱一颗有经验的心和一个青春的少年，你们是不应该取同样的方法的。那个你准许进你的卧房里去的，第一次进情场的新手，新的猎品，是应该使他只知道你，是应该使他老是在你的旁边，这是应该四旁围着篱笆的植物。你须要担心情敌：只要你伴着他不放松，你就一定胜利了；维纳斯的权，正如国王的权一样，是一离开就糟的。至于那别一个，那个老兵，是会神不知鬼不觉地，乖乖地爱着的；他能忍下许多新兵所忍受不下的事情。他不会打破你们的门或是烧你们的门；他不会用他的指甲抓破了他的情人的嫩脸，他不会撕破她的长衣或是一个女子的衫子，而且，在他，马被劫去了也不会流眼泪的。那激情是一个在青春期和恋爱期中的少年所仅有的。而别一个呢，他会耐心地忍受着那些最厉害的伤楚。他所燃烧着的情火是不旺的，啊啊！正如燃烧着湿草，或是新从山上砍下来的柴一样。这种的爱情是靠得住的；而那种激动的爱情虽是热烈，但是不能经久。快些去采那一现的昙花啊。 我就要把一切献给我们的敌人了（我们早就开门临敌了），而对于我的叛逆，我也是存着至诚不欺之心。太容易垂青是难长久养育爱情的，在温柔的欢乐中应该夹入些拒绝。让你们的情郎留在门口；要使他叫着“忍心的门”，要使他不停地哀求和威吓。清淡的东西我们是不欢喜的：一种苦的饮料倒能打开我们的胃口。一只船被顺风翻没了是常有的事。下面是阻碍一个丈夫爱自己的妻子的理由：无论什么时候，高兴要看她就可以看见她。把你们的门关起来吧，叫你的守门人对我说：“不许进来”。一被关在门外，爱情便热烈起来了！现在把钝兵器抛下来拿锋利的兵器吧。我相信就要看见那我发给你们的箭反要向我射来了。当一个新的情郎坠入你的情网的时候，你要使他起初庆幸着能独尝欢爱，不久你便得给他一个你另有所钟，而你的恩眷并非他所独得的恐惧。假如没有这种战略，爱情便老去了。一匹骏马只有在对手超过它的时候或是要赶上它的时候才拼命地跑。 假如我们的情焰熄了，要妒忌来使它重燃。在我呢，我承认假如别人不伤触了我，我是不会爱的。可是不要使你的情郎很明白地知道他的苦痛的原因，让他提心吊胆着，不知到底是怎么一回事。你须要假说有一个奴隶在暗地里留心你们的一举一动，和一个很厉害的男人在想法当场拿获，这样是能使爱情兴奋的。 没有危险，欢乐也就没有劲儿了。即使你是比达伊斯都自由自在，你也得疑神疑鬼地害怕着。当你可以很容易地叫你的情郎从门里进来的时候，偏要叫他从窗口爬进来，而且你的脸儿也须装出警怕的表情。须要有一个狡猾的侍女急急忙忙地跑进来，喊着：我们糟了！于是，你便把你的那个害怕得发抖的少年情郎随便在哪里去藏一藏。可是，在这恐惧之后，你须得叫他安安逸逸地尝一尝维纳斯的欢乐的异味，不要叫他太吃亏。 如何去瞒过一个狡猾的男人或是一个周到的看守人等方法，我是险些忘记讲了。我希望一个妻子怕她的丈夫，我希望她是被看守得好好的，这是在礼仪上所须崇，在法律上、正义上、贞操上所须守的。可是你，刚被裁判官用小棒触着而解放了的女奴，谁能加你以同样的监守呢？你到我的学校里来听欺骗的课程吧。那些监视的人。即使他们有和阿耳戈斯一样多的眼睛，只要你有决心，你一定能把他们一个个地都瞒过了。当你一个人在洗澡的时候，一个监守人如何能来妨碍你写信呢？假使你叫你的同谋的侍女把情书放在她胸脯旁边或鞋底里，监守人如何能妨碍她送出去呢？可是假如那看守人看穿了这个把戏，那么你便得叫你的同谋人露出她的背来，把情书写在他的皮肤上。阿克里修斯亲自很留心地管着他的女儿：可是他终究犯了错，请他做外祖父了。当在罗马有那样多的戏院子的时候；当她有时去看赛车，有时去看赛会的时候；当她去到那些她的监守人不能进去的地方（因为善良女神是不准男子们走进她的神祠去的，那些她高兴准他们进去的男子是例外）的时候；当那可怜的监守人在那大胆藏着情郎的浴池外看守着女子的衣裳的时候，一个监守人如何能管住女子呢？当在必要时，她难道不能寻到一个口里喊着生病的女友（口说生病，倒把自己的床让给她）？那个名叫“私情女”的复制的钥匙可不是已为我们指出应该怎么样办吗？而且要到情人房里去，我们难道非从门里进去不可吗！为要免去一个监守人的监视，我们还可以用黎阿曷士的液体，就是西班牙山上出产的也可以。还有一种能叫人深深地睡去的药，它能使一个莱带河的夜压在别人的眼睛上。还有一种幸福的战略，就是叫你的同谋的侍女用欢乐的香饵迷住那个可憎的监守人，叫她用千般的温柔留住他长长久久。可是假如只要一点小小的报效已够贿赂了那监守人，我们又何必来转许多弯，细微曲折地去想法子呢？用礼物，你们相信我啊，不论是人是神都会受诱惑的，就是宙斯大神也会上献祀物的当。所以不论是聪明人或是笨人，礼物是没有人不欢喜的。甚至是丈夫，当他收到了礼物的时候，也会装聋作哑的。可是你只要每年买他一次就够了。他伸过一次手，自然也会时常伸手的。 我曾引为遗憾，我记起了，朋友是不可信托的。这个遗憾不仅是对男子们而发的。假如你太信托他人，别的女子就要来分尝你爱情的欢乐甜味了，而那你可以获得的兔子，也要被别人弄去了。即使是那个肯把自己的房间和床借给你的忠心的朋友，听我的话吧，她也和我有过好多次关系。不要用太漂亮的女仆，她会常常在我这儿取得她女主人的地位。 我要把自己弄成怎样啊，我这傻子，为什么袒着胸去临敌呢？为什么自己卖自己呢？鸟是不把捉自己的方法告诉捕鸟人的；鹿是不把自己逃走的路指给那要扑到它身上去的猎犬看的。我自己有什么好处呢？可是不去管他，我大方地继续着我的企图，把那可以将我处死的兵器给予兰诺斯的女子们。你们必得要使我们自以为是被爱着（而且这是容易的事）：热情是很容易坚信它所冀望着的一切的。女子只要向青年的男子瞟一瞟情眼，深深地叹息，或者问他为什么来得这样迟就够了。你们还须得加上眼泪，一种矫作的妒忌的怒，又用你们的指甲抓破了他的脸。他就立刻坚信不疑了；他便对你一往情深了；他将说：“她发狂地爱着我。”尤其是那些漂亮的，常常临镜的，自以为能打动女神的心的花花公子。可是无论如何，假如受了一次冒犯，你们切不可把不高兴表现得太露骨，知道了你的情郎另外有一个情人，你切不可气得发昏！ 而且不要轻易地相信！太轻易地相信是多么地危险啊！泊洛克丽斯已给了你们一个证明的例子了。在那繁花披丽的含笑的希买多斯山旁，有一口圣泉。一片绿茵遮住了土地，矮矮的密树造成了一个林子，杨梅树荫着碧草，迷迭香、月桂、郁翠的番石榴熏香着空气；在那面还有许多枝叶丛密的黄杨树，袅娜的西河柳，金雀花和苍松。在和风的轻息中，一切的树叶和草都微微地颤动着。凯发路斯是爱安息的：离开了仆役和犬，这个疲倦了的青年人常常到那个地方去闲坐。他老是这样唱：“无恒的凉风啊，到我胸头来平息我的火吧。”有人听到了这儿句话，记住了，轻忽地去告诉他的提心吊胆的妻子。 当泊洛克丽斯知道了这个她以为是情敌的“凉风”的名字后，她便昏过去了，苦痛得连话也说不出来。她的脸色变得惨白，正如那被初冬的寒风所侵的，采去了葡萄的葡萄叶，或是那累累垂挂在枝头的，已经熟了的启道奈阿的果实，或是那还没有熟透的羊桃一样地惨白。当她清醒过来的时候，她把自己胸前的轻衫撕破，又用指甲把自己的脸儿抓破——这张脸儿是当不起这种待遇的。随后突然地披散着头发，狂怒着，在路上奔跑，好象被巴克斯的松球杖所激动了一样。到了那所说的地方时，她把她的女伴留在谷中；她亲自急忙掩掩藏藏地蹑足走进树林去。泊洛克丽斯，这样鬼鬼祟祟的，你的计划是什么啊？什么热炎燃起了你的迷塞的心啊？你无疑是想着那个“凉风”，那个你所不认识的“凉风”就要来了，而你又将亲眼看见奸情了。有时你懊悔前来，因为你不愿意惊散他们；有时你自祝着，你的爱情不知道如何决定，使你的心不停地跳动。你有地点、人名、告密人和那多情的男子容易和人发生恋爱的可能性来做你的盲信的辩解。在被压倒的草上一看见有一个生物的足迹，她的心便立刻狂跳起来了。时候已到了中午，太阳已把影子缩短了，它悬在天的正中。这时那个岂莱耐山的神祗的后裔凯发路斯回到树林里来了；他用泉水浇着自己的晒热了的脸。泊洛克丽斯，你担心地躲着，而他却躺在那块常躺的草地上，嘴里说着：“温柔的和风，你来啊，而你，凉风，你也来啊。”那个不幸的泊洛克丽斯快乐地发现那个由于一句两可之词而起的错误了，她安心了，她的脸色也恢复原状了。她站了起来；那女子想要冲到她的丈夫的怀里去，因此她便翻动了那拦在路上的树叶。 凯发路斯以为是一头野兽来了；他便用一个少年人的敏捷态度拿起了他的弓；箭已经握在他的右手中了。不幸的人，你要做什么啊？这不是野兽，留住你的箭吧。箭已射中了你的妻子了。“哎哟，”她喊着，“你射穿了一颗爱你的心了。这颗老是被凯发路斯所伤的心。我是在不该死的时候死了，可是我却没有情敌。大地啊，当你遮覆着我时，在我是格外觉得轻巧了。那个引起我的误会的'凉风'已把我的生息带去了。我死了。哦！用你的亲爱的手把我的眼皮合下吧。”他呢，吞着沉哀，将那占有他的心的人儿的垂死的娇躯枕在臂上；他的泪水洒在那个惨酷的伤痕上。可是完了，那轻信的泊洛克丽斯的灵魂已渐渐地从她的胸头离去，而凯洛路斯，把他的嘴唇贴在她的嘴唇上，吸取了她最后的呼吸。 我应该不弯弯曲曲地说下去。要使我的航倦了的船快快地进港了。你不耐烦地等着我领你到宴会去，而且还想我教你关于赴宴会的门径。你应该去得很迟，而且你的姿态也不该在灯未亮之前显露出来。等待是能够增加你的身价的。除了等待之外没有别的更好的撮合人了。假如你是丑的，那喝醉了的人的眼睛看起来就美丽了，而且夜也足够掩饰住你的缺陷了。用你的指头撮取茶点吃的好看也是一种艺术。不要用没有拭干净的手去抹你的脸。在赴宴以前不要在家里先吃， 可是在筵席上，却不要吃得太饱，要留一点胃口。假如帕里斯看见海伦拼命地大喝大嚼，他准会说：“我得到了一个多么傻的胜利啊！”稍稍喝些酒在女子是适宜的；维纳斯的儿子和巴克斯混在一起是很和谐的。可是你也应该叫你的头担当得起那酒，不要使你的聪敏和行动被弄昏，不要使你的眼睛看花了。一个女子喝得酩酊大醉躺在地上，那是一个多么难看的怪现象啊！来一个人就可以把她取而得之的。在席上一瞌睡就要受危险：瞌睡是冒犯贞操的好机会。 我很害羞讲下去，可是那好狄俄涅对我说：“那你所害羞的正是我们的事业。”每个女子须要认识自己，依照你的体格，你便选择各样的姿势；同样的姿态不是适合于一切的女子的。那脸儿特别漂亮的女子应当仰卧着。那些满意自己的臀部的，须得把自己的臀部显露出来。卢喀那可曾遗下些皱纹在你的肚子上吗？那么，你也像那巴尔底人一样，反转了背脊交欢着。米拉尼洪把阿达朗达的腿放在自己的肩上，假如你的腿很美丽，你便得照样地搁上去。矮小的女子应当取骑士的姿势；那身子很长的底比斯女子，赫克托尔的妻子，从不跨在她的丈夫的身上，像跨在一匹马上一样。那身体颀长的女子须得跪在床上，头稍向后弯。假如你的腿股有青春的爱娇，而你的胸膛也是完美的，那你便斜斜地躺在床上，取这种姿势的时候，不要怕羞。你须要把你的头发披散了，像跳神诸女一样，而且转着头飘散着你的头发。要尝维纳斯的欢乐有千方百态；那最简单而最不吃力的方法就是半身侧卧在右面。可是那阿波罗的三脚椅和生牛头的亚扪都不能比我的缪斯给你更靠得住的启示。假如我的话有几句是值得相信的，你们便受我的教罢，这是一个久长的经验的结果；我的诗是不欺你们的。女子啊，我愿维纳斯的欢乐一直透进你的骨髓里，又愿你和你的情郎分受着那种享乐！情话和琐话永远不要间断，而在你们的肉搏中，有些话是应该夹进去的。即使像你这种老天吝于赋给爱情的幽欢感觉的人，你也得假装着，用温柔的谎语，说你是感觉到那种幽欢的。那种生着麻木不仁的哪能给男女以快感的器官的女子，是多么地可怜啊！可是这种矫饰切不要被发现出来；要使你的动作和你的眼睛的表情来欺骗我们！放荡、软语和喘息是会给人一种幻觉的。我讲下去有点害羞了：在那维纳斯的幽欢之后去向情郎要求赠物，那是用不到什么重大的恳求的。我忘记说了：在卧房里不要让光线从窗里透进来；你的身体的好多部分是不能在日光下被人看见的。 我的话已讲完：现在已是走下那天鹅驾着的车子的时候了。正如从前男子们一样，现在女子们，我的女弟子，在她们的战利品上这样写：“奥维德是我们的老师。” 第三卷注释及相关链接 班黛西莱亚。阿马逊人的女王，特洛伊战争中特洛伊人的联盟，为阿喀琉斯所杀。 张着翼翅飞行全宇宙的孩子。指丘比特。 阿特柔斯的幼子和长子。指墨涅拉俄斯和阿伽门侬。 海伦的姊姊。指克吕泰涅斯特拉。 达拉奥思。乘阿尔戈船远征者之一。
