She held a higher positionElla tenía un cargo superior

She was a regular at Plato's tavernEra habitué de la taberna de Platón
And a close friend of AristotleY muy amiga de Aristóteles

It took her a while to adaptLe llevó un rato la adaptación
Her skills to the situationDe sus habilidades a la situación
But the hardest thing to acceptPero lo más difícil de aceptar
Is the status of her occupationEs el estatus de su ocupación
That serving the deity of sensualityQue servir a la deidad de la sensualidad
