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. Thy flames consume, thy arrows pierce thy friends;
  2. Rather on foes pursue more noble ends.
  3. Achilles' sword would certainly bestow
  4. A cure as certain as it gave the blow.
  5. Hunters, who follow flying game, give o'er
  6. When the prey's caught, hope still leads on before;
  7. We, thine own slaves, feel thy tyrannic blows.
  8. While thy tame hand's unmov'd against thy foes.
