from Tristia

[from exile, to his wife at Rome]

Dearest! if you those fair Eyes (wondering) stick

On this strange Character, know, I am sick.

Sick in the skirts of the lost world, where I

Breath hopeless of all Comforts, but to dye.

What heart (think'st thou?) have I in this sad seat

Tormented 'twixt the Sauromate and Gete?

Nor aire nor water please; their very skie

Looks strange and unaccustom'd to my Eye,

I scarce dare breath it, and I know not how

The earth that bears me shewes unpleasant now.

Nor Diet here's, nor lodging for my Ease,

Nor any one that studies a disease;

No friend to comfort me, none to defray

With smooth discourse the Charges of the day.

All tir'd alone I lye, and (thus) what e're

Is absent, and at Rome I fancy here.

– Ovid (43 BC-AD 17), translated by Henry Vaughan (1651)
