Quickly he carries the girl as she’s clad in chemise of coarse linen—

Just as a nursemaid might, playfully up to her bed.

Drapings of satin are absent; the mattress is quite unembroidered.

Large is this room where the bed offers its comfort for two.

Jupiter’s welcome to more from his Juno if he can get it;

Let any mortal find rest, softer, wherever he can.

We are content with Cupid’s delights, authentic and naked—

And with the exquisite creak /crack of the bed as it rocks.

Goethe. Erotica Romana
