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. In envy rob her, and usurp her name;
  2. What would they give, d'ye think, to be the same ?
  3. But neither could Eurotas, nor the Po,
  4. With poplar shaded, in one channel flew;
  5. By diff'rent, and by distant banks they glide,
  6. Are rivers both, but various in their tide.
  7. There are more beauties, but there's none like thine,
  8. There are more versed, but thou hast only mine;
  9. No other charms can e'er inspire my muse,
  10. And other themes I with disdain refuse.
