Ovid

Metamorphoses

The Golden Age


[8 CE] Ovid, "The Golden Age," in book 1 of Metamorphoses, trans. by Mr. Dryden and Others, Published by Sir Samuel Garth (1717; London, 1826; Online at Archive.org).

The teeming Earth, yet guiltless of the plough,
And unprovok'd, did fruitful stores allow:
Content with food, which Nature freely bred,
On wildings and on strawberries they fed;
Cornels and bramble-berries gave the rest,
And falling acorns furnish'd out a feast. (6)
