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. Still let my slender limbs for love suffice;
  2. I want no nerves, but want the bulky size.
  3. My limbs, tho' lean are not in vain display'd;
  4. From me no female ever rose a maid.
  5. Oft have I, when a luscious night was spent,
  6. Saluted morn, nor cloy'd nor impotent.
  7. Happy, who gasps in love his latest breath;
  8. Give me, ye gods, so softly sweet a death !
