Amores

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. The sun-burnt Latins, in old Tatius' reign,
  2. Did to one man perhaps their love restrain:
  3. Venus in her Aeneas' city rules,
  4. And all adore her deity but fools.
  5. Go on, ye fair, chaste only let such live
  6. As none will ask, and know not how to give.
  7. Life steals away, and our best hours are gone
  8. Ere the true use or worth of them be known.
