text_original: A much more familiar name, the poet Ovid, is brought before us at this time. The spoiled child of the fashionable society of Rome, he had early lent his facile wit to amuse the careless worldlings round him, had made a jest of the remon  strances of serious friends, who tried to win his thoughts to politics and busy life, and had squandered all his high gifts of poetry on frivolous or wanton themes.
