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. In Cephalus' embraces when you lay,
  2. And oft by theft renew'd your wanton play;
  3. When Tithon's impotence you made your sport,
  4. Did you not think the joyous moments short?
  5. Lock'd in his arms did you in transports lie,
  6. Ah! would you not, like me, to Phoebus cry,
  7. "Stop, stop thy rapid course? Am I to blame
  8. That Tithon's old, and cannot feel thy flame?
  9. See how the moon does her Endymion keep
  10. In night conceal'd, and drown'd in dewy sleep.
