1475. Metam. iv. 135, borrowed without much regard to the context.
1485. From Ovid, Her. xiv. 37, where however we have ‘calor,’ not ‘color,’ a material difference.
1496. Her. v. 46.
1497. The expression ‘verbis solabar amicis’ is from Ovid (Fasti, v. 237), but here ‘solabar’ seems to be made passive in sense.
1501 f. i.e. ‘cessat amor eius qui prius,’ &c., with a rather harsh ellipse of the antecedent. The couplet is a parody of Ovid, Pont. iv. 6. 23 f.,
‘Nam cum praestiteris verum mihi semper amorem,
Hic tamen adverso tempore crevit amor.’
1503 f. Cp. Tristia, iii. i. 65 f.,
‘Quaerebam fratres, exceptis scilicet illis,
Quos suus optaret non genuisse pater.’
