Ovid, Advice to a rejected lover (translation)If she will not accept your letter (lit. writing) and sends it back unread,hope that she will read and hold on to your purpose.In time, difficult bullocks come to ploughs,in time, horses are taught to accept unyielding reins.An iron ring is eaten away by relentless use,the hooked ploughshare is ruined by the unrelenting earth.What is harder than stone, what softer than water?However, hard stones are hollowed out by soft water.Stand firm now, in time you will win Penelope herself:you see that Troy was captured late, nonetheless it was captured.WJEC Level 2 Latin Literature Unit 9541 Love and Marriage 49
