Sulpicia

"Tandem venit amor, qualem texisse pudori quam nudasse alicui sit mihi, Fama, magis."

"Exoluit promissa Venus: mea gaudia narret, dicetur si quis non habuisse sua."

"Sed peccasse iuvat, vultus componere famae taedet: cum digno digna fuisse ferar."

"Ne tibi sim, mea lux, aeque iam fervida cura ac videor paucos ante fuisse dies, si quicquam tota commisi stulta iuventa cuius me fatear paenituisse magis, hesterna quam te solum quod nocte reliqui ardorem cupiens dissimulare meum."

"Nowe, after my dome, Dame Sulpicia at Rome, Whose name regystred was For euer in tables of bras, Because that she dyd pas In poesy to endyte, And eloquently to wryte, Though she wolde pretende My sparowe to commende, I trowe she coude not amende Reportynge the vertues all Of my sparowe royall."

"Somewhat awkward in expression, they are remarkable for their candor."
