Blowin’ in the Wind

Arctoa de gente comam tibi, Lesbia, misi, ut scires, quanto sit tua flava magis. I send you this tress, Lesbia, from the northern regions, That you may know how much lighter your own is. Da una gente del Nord, o Lesbia, una treccia ti mando, perché tu veda quanto sia più bionda la tua.

Martial, Epigrams, Book 5, LXVIII
