Amores Ovid 43 B.C.-17 or 18 A.D

Not in the Circus do I sit to view
 
The running horses, but to gaze on you;
 
Near you I choose an advantageous place,
 
And whilst your eyes are fix'd upon the race,
 
Mine are on you—Thus do we feast our sight, 5
 
Each alike pleas'd with objects of delight;
 
In softer whispers I my passion move,
 
You of the rider talk, but I of love.
 
When, to please you, I straight my subject quit
 
And change my wishes to your favourite; 10
 
Oh. might I ride, and be so much your care,
 
I'd start with courage from the barrier,
 
And with a swift short compass brush the goal—
 
Unless the sight of you my course restrains,
 
And makes my hands forego the loosen'd reins; 15
 
As Pelops gaz'd on Hippodamia's face,
 
Till he had almost lost th' important race;
 
Yet he his mistress by her favour won;
 
So may our prize assist us when we run.
 
"What mean these starts? you must not, can't remove: 20
