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. So much I've suffer'd, and so long, no more
  2. I'll bear the wrongs which I have borne before.
  3. Begone, vile Cupid, I'll no more endure
  4. Thy slavish labors, and fatigues impure;
  5. From hence, I'll put an end to all the pains
  6. Thou'st cost me, and from hence shake off thy chains.
  7. I hate the liv'ry I with pleasure wore,
  8. And blush at bonds, which once with pride I bore:
  9. But this, methinks, should have been done before.
