“ Let the girl with a pretty face lie supine, let the lady
Who boasts a good back be viewed
From behind. Milanion bore Atalanta’s legs on
His shoulders: nice legs should always be used this way.
The petite should ride horse (Andromache, Hector’s Theban
Bride, was too tall for these games: no jockey she);
If you’re built like a fashion model, with willowy figure,
Then kneel on the bed, your neck
A little arched; the girl who has perfect legs and bosom
Should lie sideways on, and make her lover stand.
Don’t blush to unbind your hair like some ecstatic maenad
And tumble long tresses about
Your upcurved throat…

supine with my husband atalanta-style with alexandros
Who boasts a good back be viewed
From behind. Milanion bore Atalanta’s legs on
His shoulders: nice legs should always be used this way.

Bride, was too tall for these games: no jockey she);
If you’re built like a fashion model, with willowy figure,
Then kneel on the bed, your neck

Should lie sideways on, and make her lover stand.
Don’t blush to unbind your hair like some ecstatic maenad
And tumble long tresses about
Your upcurved throat…
