- Ho there, you shrilly-sounding gnats,
- ho there, you shameless animals,
-
- A little space let quiet sleep
- I beg of you, and make, behold,
- Yet why command I thus in vain?
- delight upon her tender skin
-
- But, evil creatures, still I give
- your boldness end, or you shall see

- Zenophile refresh,
- your banquet on my flesh.

- even unperceiving beasts
- to make their dainty feasts.
-
- my warning unto you:
- what jealous hands can do.
