"Lenivosti sa teraz zbaviť treba,"
riekol môj vodca, "sotva dôjdu slávy,
čo na perí sa mäkko uvelebia.

A ten, kto bez nej márny život strávi,
len takú stopu nechá v svete celom
jak v dielke dym a pena v prúde riavy,

A preto vstaň a slabost svoju prelom
so silou duch, ktorý všetko zdolá,
ak neklesne pod svojím ťažkým telom."

Eis Tirésias, o que mudara o aspeito,
Femíneas formas e feições tomara,
42 Sendo-lhe o que era varonil desfeito.
“Ao sexo seu tornou, quando encontrara,
Inda uma vez, travadas serpes duas
45 E outra vez com bordão as separara.

Love, that allows no loved one to be excused from loving, seized me so fiercely with desire for him, it still will not leave me, as you can see. Love led us to one death.
