Ettore Ferrari (Italian, 1848–1929)Statue of Roman poet Ovid in Constanta, Romania

Sub astã piatrã zace Ovidiu, cântãrețulIubirilor gingașe, rãpus de-al sãu talent.O, tu, ce treci pe-aice, dac-ai iubit vreodatã,Te roagã pentru dânsul: sã-i fie somnul lin!

Under this stone lies Ovid, the poet of the gentle love, by his own talent killed.Oh, you who passes here, if you ever loved,Pray for him: may his soul rest in peace!
