Sextus Propertius, Elegies (ed. Vincent Katz), Book 1, Addressed to Tullus, nephew of Lucius Volcacius Tullus, consul 33 and proconsul of Asia 30-29 (search)
Addressed to Tullus, nephew of Lucius Volcacius Tullus, consul 33 and proconsul of Asia 30-29 See poems 1, 14, and 22. RHIPAEAN MOUNTAINSa mythical range to the far north. MEMNONking of Ethiopia. PACTOLUSa river in Lydia formerly rich in gold. Really, I'm not afraid of exploring the Adriatic with you, Tullus, or to set sail on the Aegean.

Now you marvel at the speed of the skiffs, now at how slowly the rafts with their cables go; a grove sends up planted woods from every peak, as many trees as crowd the Caucasus. But none of these can compare to my affair: great wealth has no effect on Love. When she prolongs our hotly desired rendezvous or drives our whole day in lingering sex, then the Pactolus' waters flow under my roof, and a pearl is plucked from the Ruber! Then my joys promise kings will yield to me! May they remain till the fates command my death! Who enjoys wealth when their love is down? Prizes ain't worth shit with Venus angry! She can break the great p
