Æneas Sylvius's Satyr on The Women of the Town

[Now do I know what 'tis that LOVE we name]

Now do I know what 'tis that LOVE we name,
Born among Rocks, from Rhodope he came,
Or Thracian Ismarus, or Garamant Extream:
Not from our Race has sprung the fatal Boy,
Who only does our Happiness destroy, &c.
