\"EPIGRAM"

"We who of late numbered five books, are now but three. 'Twas Ovid our author willed it so. If you win no joy from reading us, the abstraction of two books will at least lessen your displeasure."

P. Ovidi Nasonis Liber Primvs Amores

\"Epigramma Ipsius"

Qui modo Nasonis fueramus quinque libelli,

tres sumus; hoc illi praetulit auctor opus.

ut iam nulla tibi nos sit legisse voluptas,

at levior demptis poena duobus erit.
