I am the
poor
man's poet; because I am
poor
myself and I have known what it is to be in love. Not being able to pay them in presents, I pay my mistresses in poetry.

I am the poet of the
poor
, because I was
poor
when I loved; since I could not give gifts, I gave words.

Let him who loves, where love success may find,
Spread all his sails before the prosperous wind;
But let
poor
youths who female scorn endure,
And hopeless burn, repair to me for cure.
Ovid
