Ovid (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Ovid Temporis illius colui fovique poetas, Quotque aderant vates, rebar adesse deos. Saepe suas volucres legit mihi grandior aevo, Quaeque nocet serpens, quae iuvat herba, Macer. 45 Saepe suos solitus recitare Propertius ignes, Iure sodalicio qui mihi iunctus erat. Ponticus heroo, Bassus quoque clarus iambis Dulcia convictus membra fuere mei; Et tenuit nostras numerosus Horatius aures, 50 Dum ferit Ausonia carmina culta lyra. Vergilium vidi tantum; nec amara Tibullo Tempus amicitiae fata dedere meae. Successor fuit hic tibi, Galle; Propertius illi; Quartus ab his serie temporis ipse fui. 55 tue ego maiores, sic me coluere minores, Notaque non tarde facta Thalia mea est.
