Amores 1.11 and 1.12 by Ovid

XI Colligere incertos et in ordine ponere crines docta neque ancillas inter habenda Nape, inque ministeriis furtivae cognita noctis utilis et dandis ingeniosa notis	11 Learned in collecting and placing in rows the uncertains locks of hair and not to be held among the serving girls, Nape, and proven in the useful ministerings of the furtive night and ingenious at giving notices
saepe venire ad me dubitantem hortata Corinnam, 5 saepe laboranti fida reperta mihi— accipe et ad dominam peraratas mane tabellas perfer et obstantes sedula pelle moras!	Often exhorting the doubting Corinna to come to me, often having been found faithful to me, laboring--accept and carry to your mistress these inscribed tablets this morning and carefully banish any delays in the way !
nec silicum venae nec durum in pectore ferrum, nec tibi simplicitas ordine maior adest. 10 credibile est et te sensisse Cupidinis arcus— in me militiae signa tuere tuae!	There is not harsh iron nor veins of stone in your heart, nor is there for you simplicity greater than your place. It is believable that you also have felt the bow of Cupid -- protect the banners of your fight in me!
si quaeret quid agam, spe noctis vivere dices; cetera fert blanda cera notata manu. Dum loquor, hora fugit. vacuae bene redde tabellas, 15 verum continuo fac tamen illa legat.	If she seeks what I am doing, you will say that I live by hope for the night; the notated wax carries the rest in my pretty hand. While I speak, the hour flies. Hand over the tablets well to an unocuppied girl; nevertheless  make it that she immediately reads them.
adspicias oculos mando frontemque legentis; et tacito vultu scire futura licet. nec mora, perlectis rescribat multa, iubeto; odi, cum late splendida cera vacat. 20	I command that you inspect her eyes, reading her brow; and it is permitted to know the future from a silent face. Without delay, with it all having been read, command her that she write back many things; I hate it when the broad, shining wax is empty.
conprimat ordinibus versus, oculosque moretur margine in extremo littera rasa meos. Quid digitos opus est graphio lassare tenendo? hoc habeat scriptum tota tabella 'veni!'	The verse squeezes together in rows, and scratched letters are demand attendtion from my eyes in the extreme edge. Is it necessary to tire out her fingers by holding the stylus? Let the writing on the whole tablet be this: "Come!"
non ego victrices lauro redimire tabellas 25 nec Veneris media ponere in aede morer. subscribam: 'VENERI FIDAS SIBI NASO MINISTRAS DEDICAT, AT NUPER VILE FUISTIS ACER.'	I would not delay to encircle the conquering tablets with laurel nor to place them in the middle of the temple of Venus. I will have written: "To Venus Naso dedicates those attendants faithful to him, but lately you were ordinary maplewood."
XII Flete meos casus—tristes rediere tabellae infelix hodie littera posse negat. omina sunt aliquid; modo cum discedere vellet, ad limen digitos restitit icta Nape.	12 Cry for my cause - the sad tablets returned the unlucky letters deny that she can [meet] today. Omens are really something; just when she wished to leave, Nape paused her toes, having been struck on the threshhold.
missa foras iterum limen transire memento 5 cautius atque alte sobria ferre pedem! Ite hinc, difficiles, funebria ligna, tabellae, tuque, negaturis cera referta notis!—	Having been sent out of doors again, remember to cautiously cross the threshhold and to carry your foot to a sober height! Go from here, pesky tablets, funereal firewood, and you, wax crammed with negatory notes!-
quam, puto, de longae collectam flore cicutae melle sub infami Corsica misit apis. 10 at tamquam minio penitus medicata rubebas— ille color vere sanguinolentus erat.	Which wax, I think, was collected from the flower of the long poison hemlock and a Corsican bee sent here beneath its infamous honey. But just as you were red, as if dyed vermillion on the inside--that color was truly bloody.
proiectae triviis iaceatis, inutile lignum, vosque rotae frangat praetereuntis onus! illum etiam, qui vos ex arbore vertit in usum, 15 convincam puras non habuisse manus.	Let you lie down at the point of three roads, useless firewood, and let the weight of a passing wheel break you! Even that man who changed you from a tree into something useful, I will prove that he did not have pure hands.
praebuit illa arbor misero suspendia collo, carnifici diras praebuit illa cruces; illa dedit turpes raucis bubonibus umbras, vulturis in ramis et strigis ova tulit. 20	That tree provided for a miserable neck a gallows; it provided dark crosses for the hangman. That tree gave shameful shadow to hoarse owls, and it carried in its branches the eggs of a vulture and a screech owl.
his ego commisi nostros insanus amores molliaque ad dominam verba ferenda dedi? aptius hae capiant vadimonia garrula cerae, quas aliquis duro cognitor ore legat;	To these did I insanely entrust my loves and give them sweet words to be carried to my mistress? More apt that these waxes sieze the wordy bail promises, which any attorney reads in a harsh voice;
inter ephemeridas melius tabulasque iacerent, 25 in quibus absumptas fleret avarus opes. Ergo ego vos rebus duplices pro nomine sensi. auspicii numerus non erat ipse boni.	better that they lie among the daily newspapers, in which a greedy man might have weeped for his exhausted riches. Therefore I have felt you two-faced in businesses for your name. The number itself was not of a good omen.
quid precer iratus, nisi vos cariosa senectus rodat, et inmundo cera sit alba situ? 30	I am angry, and what should I pray, except that dayed age might gnaw at you, and the white wax might be in a filthy situation?
