from Remedia Amores
Although thy heart with fire like Ætna flame,
Let not thy mistresse once perceive the same:
Smother thy passions, and let not thy face
Tell thy mindes secrets, while she is in place:
Thy heart being stormy, let thy face be cleere,
Nor let loves fire by smoake of sighs appeare.
Dissemble long, till thy dissembling breed
Such use, as thou art out of love indeed.
Who loves must lovers company refuse,
For love is as infectious as newes.
By looking on sore eyes, we sore eyes get,
And fire doth alwaies on the next house set.
Did not infection to next neighbours flie,
Diseases would with their first owners die.
A wound new heal'd will soone break out againe,
Therefore from seeing of thy love refraine:
Nor will this serve, but thou must shun her kin,
And even the house which she abideth in.
Let not her Nurse or Chamber-maide once move thee
Though they protest, how much their Mistresse loves thee,
Nor into any question of her breake,
Nor of her talke (though thou against her speake).
He that sayes oft that he is not in love
By repetition doth himselfe disprove.
– Ovid (43 BC-AD 17), translated by Sir Thomas Overbury (before 1613)
