30. Formal Translation And you, devastated one, what will you do? Though you dress in scarlet, though you adorn yourself with gold jewelry, though you enlarge your eyes with antimony, in vain you beautify yourself; your lovers have rejected you—they will seek your life. |
30. Dynamic Translation And as for you, ruined woman, what will you do? Even if you wear scarlet garments, and deck yourself with gold ornaments, and apply makeup to your eyes, you make yourself beautiful for nothing—your lovers have turned away from you; now they are after your life. |
