- 8 CE – 12 CE, Ovid, Sorrows 1.49–50:
- dēnique sēcūrus fāmae, liber, īre mementō,
nec tibi sit lectō displicuisse pudor.- Lastly, [my] book, you [must] remember to go untroubled by [my] reputation; nor should you be ashamed, by having been read, to be displeasing.
(The exiled poet addresses his new book as if it is a living emissary; Ovid's tarnished reputation may color the book’s reception back in Rome.)
- Lastly, [my] book, you [must] remember to go untroubled by [my] reputation; nor should you be ashamed, by having been read, to be displeasing.
