ELEGIA 1.
QUEMADMODUM A CUPIDINE PRO BELLIS
AMORES SCRIBERE COACTUS SIT.
WE WHICH WERE OVID'S FIVE BOOKS NOW ARE THREE,
FOR THESE BEFORE THE REST PREFERRETH HE.
IF READING FIVE THOU 'PLAIN'ST OF TEDIOUSNESS,
TWO TA'EN AWAY, THY LABOR WILL BE LESS.
WITH MUSE PREPARED I MEANT TO SING OF ARMS,
CHOOSING A SUBJECT FIT FOR FIERCE ALARMS.
BOTH VERSES WERE ALIKE TILL LOVE (MEN SAY)
BEGAN TO SMILE AND TOOK ONE FOOT AWAY.
RASH BOY, WHO GAVE THEE POWER TO CHANGE A LINE?
WE ARE THE MUSES' PROPHETS, NONE OF THINE.
WHAT IF THY MOTHER TAKE DIANA'S BOW?
SHALL DIAN FAN, WHEN LOVE BEGINS TO GLOW?
IN WOODY GROVES IS'T MEET THAT CERES REIGN,
AND QUIVER-BEARING DIAN TILL THE PLAIN?
WHO'LL SET THE FAIR TRESSED SUN IN BATTLE 'RAY
WHILE MARS DOTH TAKE THE AONIA . . .
