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

Şiir 8

 
But let it not the rights of love invade.
 
Let us enjoy this privilege at least,
 
That if we must be poor, we may with love be bless'd:
 
For now-a-days there's not a dame in town
 
So coy, but if you've money she's your own. 125
 
What tho' her keeper may an Argus be ?
 
Blind him with money, and he'll nothing see.
 
What though her husband should by chance be by?
 
He'll leave the house, let you your money fly.
 
If there's a god above, to whom belongs 130
 
The cause of love, and slighted lovers wrongs,
 
Revenge the false one's mercenary scorn,
 
And let ill-gotten pelf to dirt return.
