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. Nor jealous husband, nor a guardian's care,
  2. Nor door defended with a double bar,
  3. Could fence against a lover's artifice,
  4. For in my arms the fair Corinna lies.
  5. With reason of my victory I boast,
  6. The conquest gain'd, and yet no blood is lost;
  7. I scal'd no walls, I pass'd no ditch profound,
  8. Safe were my wars, and all without a wound.
