“If you have a good voice, sing; if you have graceful limbs, dance;
with whatever gifts of pleasing you possess, be pleasing”.
si vox est, canta; si mollia bracchia, salta:
et quacumque potes dote placere, place.
Ovid, Ars Amatoria 1.595-6
“If you have a good voice, sing; if you have graceful limbs, dance;
with whatever gifts of pleasing you possess, be pleasing”.
