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 scal'd no walls, I pass'd no ditch profound,
  2. Safe were my wars, and all without a wound.
  3. My only work a charming girl to gain;
  4. The pleasure well rewards the little pain.
  5. Ten years the Greeks did in one siege employ,
  6. But levell'd were, at length, the walls of Troy;
  7. What glory was there by th' Atrides won,
  8. So many chiefs before a single town!
