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. Vice by my verse I never will defend,
  2. Nor by false arms to fence my own pretend.
  3. Frankly my failings I with shame confess;
  4. To hide my errors would not make them less.
  5. My faults, whate'er I suffer by't, I own,
  6. That others, if they please, those faults may shun
  7. I hate myself, my follies, and would fain
  8. Be, were it in my pow'r, another man.
