from Ars Amatoria
If in this Town an unflusht Puny be,
Unpractis'd in Loves weighty Mystery,
Let him a while these pow'rful Precepts prove,
And proceed Master in the Art of Love.
By Art swift Ships to their lov'd Port arrive,
By Art our Charriots in the Circus drive:
By Art our Charriots in the Circus drive:
And who in Love would his great end attain,
Must guide the Boy too with an artful Rein.
Automedon by Charriots got a Name,
And steering Argo purchas'd Typhis Fame;
Great Venus to my Charge commits her Son,
Calls me his Typhis, his Automedon.
Tho' the wild Thing my Counsel oft reject,
Yet tender years excuse the Boy's neglect,
And promise for the future more respect.
Thus Reverend Chiron (as 'tis said) of old,
To musick did his young Achilles mould.
This gentle Art his roughness soon refin'd,
Softning the growing Passions of his Mind.
– Ovid (43 BC-AD 17), translated by Thomas Hoy (1682)
