 | Ovidius exulans or Ovid travestieas |  |
To his worthy friend on his Book.
Were great Augustus now alive he'd sayOvid drest thus deserv'd his Livia.
With all but enemies thy Book will pass
You need for none unless't be Hudibras
May be some English De la Cerda will
Stand up and cry that Virgil's beter stil.
But let him have a care we know 'tis spight
Least this with like success as t'other wrie.
