Love
Amores, Epigram on the Amours (Riley)
Translated by Henry T. Riley (1885) · From Amores (Riley)
Love
We who of late were five books of Naso, are now but three: this work our author has preferred to the former one. Though it should now be no pleasure to thee to read us; still, the labour will be less, the two being removed.
