Ovid, Ars Amatoria, 1.30-1.33


rend=Nor auspice from the flight of chattering birds, From whence the ancients drew their auguries. To which the poet here alludes.


rend=I sing true: Venus, help my venture! Far away from here, you badges of modesty, the thin headband, the ankle-covering dress. I sing of safe love, permissible intrigue, and there’ll be nothing sinful in my song. Now the first task for you who come as a raw recruit is to find out who you might wish to love. The next task is to make sure that she likes you: the third, to see to it that the love will last. That’s my aim, that’s the ground my chariot will cover:


Este procul, vittae tenues, insigne pudorisNor Clio , nor her sisters, have I seen


rend=As Hesiod saw them on the shady green: Ovid names Clio only, of all the nine, in this place. The fable tells us, she and her sisters were born of Jupiter 's caresses of Mnemosyne, that is, memory.


Nos venerem tutam concessaque furta canemusExperience makes my work a truth so tried

2. Horace, Odes, 2.13, 4.15 (1st cent. BCE - 1st cent. BCE)

2.13. who, falling upon them on the sudden, as they were offering their sacrifices, destroyed about three thousand of them; but the rest of the multitude were dispersed upon the adjoining mountains: these were followed by Archelaus’s heralds, who commanded every one to retire to their own homes, whither they all went, and left the festival. 2.13. and quietly set themselves down; upon which the baker lays them loaves in order; the cook also brings a single plate of one sort of food, and sets it before every one of them; 4.15. he was then immediately surrounded with his own men. But the Romans were excited to set about the siege, by their indignation on the king’s account, and by their fear on their own account 4.15. They also set the principal men at variance one with another, by several sorts of contrivances and tricks, and gained the opportunity of doing what they pleased, by the mutual quarrels of those who might have obstructed their measures; till at length, when they were satiated with the unjust actions they had done towards men, they transferred their contumelious behavior to God himself, and came into the sanctuary with polluted feet.
