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. Thus let me ne'er, ye pow'rs, her death deplore,
  2. 'Twas her first fault, and she'll offend no more;
  3. No pardon she'll deserve a second time,
  4. But, without mercy, punish then her crime.
  1. Go, happy ring, who art about to bind
  2. The fair one's finger; may the fair be kind.
  3. Small is the present, tho' the love be great;
  4. May she swift slip thee on thy taper seat.
