Translations
 |
Ovidius, Ars amatoria 2, 278.
Liefde wordt met goud verworven. |
 |
Ovidius, Ars amatoria 2, 278.
By gold is affection gained. |
|
[end] Ovidius, Fasti 1, 217.
Helaas, Amor, waarom raak je verstrikt in giften en goud? Want toen die oude eenvoud nog bestond, streefde je naar gemakkelijk
geschonken gunst uit pure liefde. Nu, ach, ligt de deugd verloren, maar de prijs is prijzig. |
|
[end] Ovidius, Fasti 1, 217.
Amor, alas, why are you entangled by gifts and gold? For when that old simplicity existed, you used to aspire to readily given
favour from pure love. Now (ah!) virtue lies down; but the price is pricy. |
