Huc est mens deducta tua mea, Lesbia, culpa
atque ita se officio perdidit ipsa suo,
ut iam nec bene velle queat tibi, si optima fias,
nec desistere amare, omnia si facias.
To this point my mind has been broken down by your fault, Lesbia,
And so it destroys its own self by its obligation,
And now it is not able to wish you well, if you are made perfect,
Nor is it able to stop loving, whatever you do.
