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. Since surely I thy slave must ever be;
  2. In thee since I have centred all my joys,
  3. Oh Venus ! let my love be still my choice.
  1. Ill-omen'd birds, how luckless was the day,
  2. When o'er my love you did your wings display!
  3. What wayward orb, what inauspicious star
  4. Did then rule heav'n ? what gods against me war?
  5. She who so much my fatal passion wrongs,
  6. Was known and first made famous by my songs.
