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. I hate, I fly the faithless fair in vain,
  2. Her beauty ever brings me back again;
  3. She always in my heart will have a place,
  4. I hate her humour, but I love her face;
  5. No rest I to my tortur'd soul can give,
  6. Nor with her nor without her can I live.
  7. Oh ! that thy mind we in thy face did view,
  8. Less lovely that thou wert, or else more true.
  9. How diffrent are thy manners and thy sight!
