Las gracias al me certé Eran cuadro de flores Te cantaban amores Por hacerte callar. Oh! how much sap there is in this Spanish nation! What a pity that they will not make it yield fruit! In 1807, the tribunal of the Inquisition existed still at Valencia, and at times performed its functions.

Cras amet qui nunquam amavit, quique amavit cras amet; Ver novum, ver iam canorum, ver renatus orbis est; Vere concordant amores, vere nubunt alites Et nemus comam resolvit de maritis imbribus: Cras amet qui nunquam amavit, quique amavit cras amet

His "Tristia" were more admired by the Romans than his "Amores" or "Metamorphoses," probably from the doleful description of his exile, a fact which shows that contemporaries are not always the best judges of real merit. His poems, great as was their genius, are deficient in the severe taste which marked the Greeks, and are immoral in their tendency.

Hic jacet sepultum Omne quod mortale fuit LETITIAE ELISABETHAE McLEAN, Quam, egregia ornatam indole, Musis unice amatam; Omniumque amores secum trahentem, In ipso aetatis flore, Mors immatura rapuit, Die Octobris XV., A.D. MDCCCXXXVIII, Atat 36. Quod spectas viator marmor, Vanum heu doloris monumentum, Conjux moereng erexit.

When he was about thirty he published, to be in the fashion, a volume of amatory elegiacs, which was afterwards re-edited and enlarged into the existing three books of Amores. Probably about the same time he formally graduated in serious poetry with his tragedy of Medea.

The rhetorician is as strong in him as it had been in the Amores; but it is under better control, and seldom leads him into excesses of bad taste, nor is it so overmastering as not to allow free play to his better qualities, his kindliness, his good-humour, his ungrudging appreciation of excellence, in his evolution of thought or his play of fancy, if the expression be preferred he has an alertness and precision akin to great intellectual qualities; and it is this, perhaps, which has made him a favourite with so many great men of letters.

That Ellice is now a miserable woman, I have no doubt; for truly: 'Quien se casa por amores, ha de vivir con dolores. Of course you understand Spanish?" "No, sir; but no matter; I take it for granted that you intend some thrust at my mother, and I have heard quite enough." "Don't know Spanish?

The class to which she belonged were mostly Greeks or Easterns, beautiful and accomplished, often poetesses, and mingling with these seductive qualities the fickleness and greed natural to their position, of which Ovid somewhat unreasonably complains. To her are dedicated the great majority of the Amores, his earliest extant work.
