    At last the love I've waited for has come.
    (No shame to say so: more to cover up).
    My Camenae called on her in prayer,
    and Cytherea brought him to my heart.
    5
    Venus kept her promise: now she can tell
    my tale of joy to those who don't believe.
    I hardly want to give this letter up
    so no one else sees it before he does.
    I'm glad I did it -- why wear a prudish mask,
    as if he wasn't good enough for me!
