The Fasty - A Roman Myth of Hercules

Ovid uses heracles to describe how you should bend over backwards for your woman. The tyrinthian hero obeyed imistress's command. Now go. Be shy about bearing what he bore. Always be sure you arrive before the commanded hour, and don't leave till late. She's told you to go and meet some one. Put everything off and run,. Don't let the crowd hold you back as you go. If she calls in place of her slave she's out in the country and tells you to come. Love hates the lazy. If you haven't got wheels, make your way on foot.
