P. Ovidius Naso, Art of Love, Remedy of Love, Art of Beauty, Court of Love, History of Love, Amours (ed. various), Elegy IV: To a man that locked up his wife. By Sir Charles Sedley (search)
she forbear the act, has done the sin. Spies, locks, and bolts may keep her brutal part, But thou'rt an odious cuckold in her heart. They that have freedom use it least, and so The power of ill does the design overthrow. Provoke not vice by a too harsh restraint; Sick men long most to drink, who know they mayn't. The fiery courser, whom no art can stay, Or rugged force, does oft fair means obey; And he that did the rudest arm disdain, Submits with quiet to the looser rein. A hundred eyes had Argus, yet the while One silly maid did all those eyes beguile; Danae, tho' shut within a brazen tow'r, Felt the male virtue of the golden show'r; But chaste Penelope, left to her own will And free disposal, never thought of ill; She to her absent lord preserv'd her truth, For all th' addresses of the smoother youth, What's rarely seen, our fancy magnifies; Permitted pleasure who does not despise ?

Let peace, as money sets the terms, be made, But let it not the rights of love invade. Let us enjoy this privilege at least, That if we must be poor, we may with love be bless'd: For now-a-days there's not a dame in town So coy, but if you've money she's your own. What tho' her keeper may an Argus be ? Blind him with money, and he'll nothing see. What though her husband should by chance be by? He'll leave the house, let you your money fly. If there's a god above, to whom belongs The cause of love, and slighted lovers wrongs, Revenge the false one's mercenary scorn, And let ill-gotten pelf to dirt return.
