A gentleman who, while
with a lady, could not fulfill his wishes
(1624).
With Marfisa in the lurch so bad Guarnido
you entered your shield, but cleft
not slit your sword.
How much? If
raised in trance was not so crude, and your shame
four tears could mourn, even to leave
of urine taken the shield.
Luis de Gongora.
Painting: "Amazona injury," Franz von Stuck, 1903.
