The Theatre

'But the tiered playhouse gives you amplest scope;
There's hunting richer than you dared to hope.
There you will find a mistress or a toy
To touch but once or to be a lasting joy.
As ants that to and fro in endless train
Haste to bring home their wonted load of grain,
As mid their favourite glades and scented leas,
O're flowers and thyme-tops flit the swarming bees,
So to the play the well-dressed bevies throng,
Such wealth of choice as keeps one doubting long.
They come to look and be looked at too.
Ah! Virtue, it's a fatal place for you'.
- Ovid: The Art of Love 1
