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. To them she's civil, as to me she's rude.
  2. Me she exposes to a thousand harms,
  3. To walk the streets, while they are in her arms.
  4. For whom does she my passion disregard ?
  5. And who has intercepted my reward ?
  6. Why is the beau with so much joy embrac'd ?
  7. His pockets full, it seems, his coat is lac'd:
  8. He won her with his military air
  9. Which cheats as often as it charms the fair.
