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. When two fond lovers are agreed to meet,
  2. Canst thou their well-concerted plot defeat?
  3. The ways of kindness thou shouldst rather use;
  4. By being civil thou wilt nothing lose;
  5. And when an opportunity is fail,
  6. For thy own sake be friendly to our pray'r.
  7. A friend be to thy lady, not a guard,
  8. And we, with bounteous hand, thy friendship will reward.
