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. The winds in bottles while he plough'd the deep:
  2. How Cerberus, three headed, guarded hell;
  3. And from his car the son of Phoebus fell:
  4. How thirsty Tantalus attempts to sip
  5. The stream in vain, that flies his greedy lip:
  6. How Niobe in marble drops a tear,
  7. And a bright nymph was turn'd into a bear:
  8. How Progne, now a swallow, does bemoan
  9. Her sister nightingale, and pheasant son.
