Statue of Ovid (1887) by Ettore Ferrari Non ego, ne
sed ne
nec te nostra iubet fieri censura pudicam,
sed tamen, ut
non peccat, quaecumque potest
solaque famosam culpa
quis furor est, quae nocte latent, in luce fateri,
et quae clam
ignoto meretrix corpus

commissi perages indiciumque tui?
mens melior, saltemve
pudicas,
teque probam, quamvis non eris,
quae facis, haec
Love in the Golden Age (circa 1540-1598) by Pauwels Franck nec pudeat coram verba modesta loqui!
Est qui nequitiam locus
deliciis inple,
hinc simul
illic nec tunicam
nec femori inpositum sustinuisse femur;
illic purpureis
inque modos Venerem mille
illic nec voces nec verba iuvantia
spondaque
indue cum tunicis metuentem crimina vultum,
et pudor obscenum
populo, da verba mihi;

Cur totiens video
cur pressus
cur
collaque conspicio dentis habere notam?
oculos crimen deducis ad ipsos; 35
si dubitas famae parcere, parce mihi!
mens abit et morior quotiens
perque meos artus frigida gutta fluit.
Amour and Psyche (1827) by Michel Philibert Genod tunc amo, tunc odi frustra
tunc ego, sed
Nil equidem inquiram, nec quae celare parabis
