Oh, this is going to turn ugly. How much Propertius have you read? The Monobiblos is the best.
Cynthia prima suis miserum me cepit ocellis,
contactum nullis ante cupidinibus.
tum mihi constantis deiecit lumina fastus
et caput impositis pressit Amor pedibus,
donec me docuit castas odisse puellas
improbus, et nullo vivere consilio.
". . . Love, dogged god, taught me to hate chaste girls and live without counsel."
Yeah!
