Loues Schoole PVBLII OVIDII NASONIS DE ARTE AMANDI Or The Art of Loue. Gedruckt tot Amsterdam by Nicolas Iansz Visscher PVBLII OVIDII NASONIS DE ARTE AMANDI OR The Art of Loue. The Proheme or Introduction IF there be any in this multitude That in the art of Loue is dull and rude Me let him reade and these my lines rehearse He shall be made a Doctor by my verse By art of sailes and oares Seas are diuided By art the Chariot runnes by art Loue 's guided By art are bridles rein'd in or let slip Typhis by art did guide the Hemonian ship And me hath Venus her Arts master made To ●each her Science and set vp her trade And time succeeding shall call me alone Loue 's expert Tiphis and Antomedon Loue in himselfe is apish and vntoward Yet being a childe I le whip him when he 's froward Achilles in his youth was taught to run On the stringd Lute a sweete diuision Art on his rude and 〈…〉 Instructing him in old 〈…〉 He that so oft his friends 〈…〉 Made quake and tremble when 〈…〉 disclose His furious rage was knowne to be a Sutor And with submission kneele vnto his Tutor Aeneides by Chiron was instructed And by my art is Loue himselfe conducted Both goddes sonnes Venus and Thetis ioyes Both shrewd both waggish and vnhappy boyes Yet the stiffe Bulls necke by the yoake is worne The proud Steed chewes the bit which he doth scorn And though Loues darts my own heart cleaues asunder Yet by my art the wag shall be kept vnder And the more deepe my flaming heart is found The more I will reuenge me of my wound Sacred Apollo witnesse of my flame Behold thy arts I do not falsly clame Of Clios sisters loe I take no keepe That in the vale of Ascafeede their sheepe Proud skie I teach of what I haue bene taster Loue bids me speake I le be your skilfull master And what I speake is true thus I begin Be present at my labours loues faire Queene Keepe hence you modest maides come not neare That vse to blush and shamefast garments weare That haue scant ruffes keepe your haire vnseene Whose feete with your white aprons couered bene For Vertas virgins here no place is left My muse sings Venus spoiles and Loues sweete theft What kinde affections louers thoughts do pierse And there shall be no fault in this my verse FINIS THE FIRST BOOKE FIrst thou that art a Freshman and art bent To beare Loues armes and follow Cupids tent Find whom to loue the next thing thou must doe Learne how to speake her faire to pleade and woe Last hauing wonne thy Mistris to thy lure ●e teach thee how to make that loue endure This is my aime I le keepe within this space And in this road my Chariot wheele shall trace Whilst thou liuest free and art a Batcheler The loue of one aboue the rest preferre To whom thy soule sayes you alone content me But such a one shall not from heauen be sent thee Such are not dropt downe from the azure skies But thou must seeke her out with busie eyes Well knowes the Huntsman where his toyle to set And in vvhat donne the Boare his teeth doth whet Well knowes the Fowler where to lay his gin The Fisher knowes what poole most fish are in And thou that studiest to become a louer Learne in vvhat place most Virgins to discouer I do not bid thee sayle the Seas to seeke Or trauell farre to find one thou dost like Like Perseus that among the Negroes sought And faire Andromade from Inde brought Or Paris who to steale that dainty peece Trauelld

boughes the Forrest yeelds So many greene leaues grovves not in the vvoods Nor swimme so many fish in the salt floods So many Starres in heauen you cannot see As here be prettie vvenches Rome in thee Faire Venus in the Citie of her sonne Is honoured with Aeneas first begun If in young Lasses thou delight behold More Virgins thou maist see then can be told If vvomen of indifferent age vvill ease thee Amongst a thousand thou maist choose to please the● If ancient vvomen in the Citie bee Matrons admired for their grauitie To find a Matron Widdovv or young Maide Walke but at such time vnder Pompeies shade When as the Sunne mounts on the Lions backe And store of all degrees thou shalt not lacke Or to that marble walke vvhich vvas begun And ended by a Mother and her Sonne Abroad at noone
