[W.F. Lantry]

I haven't yet figured out how to cut and paste from google books, but this one, wherein Ovid tells two different and very complicated lies, to two very different women, about the same event, is priceless. It's one of his pairs, so you must read *both* VII and VIII:

"But as things are, your credulous invective
Becomes both wearisome, and ineffective!"

Ovid was such a cad! Worse than Horace, even, and that's saying something!

Thanks,
