21. In truitina (In the balance)

In truitina mentis dubia

fluctuant contraria

lascivus amor et pudicitia.

Sed eligo quod video,

collum iugo prebeo:

ad iugum tamen suave transeo.

In the wavering balance of my feelings

set against each other

lascivious love and modesty.

But I choose what I see,

and submit my neck to the yoke;

I yield to the sweet yoke.

In the scales

of my wavering indecision,

physical love and chastity are weighed.

But I choose what I see.

I bow my head in submission

and take on the yoke which is after all sweet.
