Ovid

Ovid. Ovid's Art of Love (in three Books), the Remedy of Love, the Art of Beauty, the Court of Love, the History of Love, and Amours. Dryden, John, et al., translator. New York: Calvin Blanchard, 1855.

  1. How many love inventions I deplore,
  2. Which I myself have practis'd all before !
  3. How oft have I been forc'd the robe to lift
  4. In company; to make a homely shift
  5. For a bare bout, ill huddled o'er in haste,
  6. While o'er my side the fair her mantle cast!
  7. You to your husband shall not be so kind,
  8. But lest you should, your mantle leave behind.
