she-gazelle

Updated: May 24, 2025

Then I came back and sat down in my place, whilst the damsel sang the following verses to a pleasing air: Say thou unto the she-gazelle, who yet is no gazelle, And the wild heifer, languorous-eyed, who yet no heifer is, "One, who in dalliance affects the male, no female is, And he who is effeminate of step's no male, ywis."
