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. A hundred causes kindle my desires,
  2. And love ne'er wants a torch to light my fires.
  3. When on the earth the modest virgin looks,
  4. That very modesty of hers provokes;
  5. And if I chance to meet a forward fair,
  6. I'm taken with her frank and easy air:
  7. I figure to myself a thousand charms,
  8. A thousand raptures in her wanton arms.
