Inscripsit septem scelerata virorum
“Se fecisse” Chloe. Quid pote simplicitus? On her seven husbands’ tombs she doth impress “This Chloe did”: what can she more confess? Cloe quella scellerata sulla tomba di sette mariti scrisse: “Opera mia questa è stata”. Chi potrebbe parlare con parole più chiare? |
