A Donna Zuckerberg book’s third chapter, titled for this author’s “Method,” demands an ironic reading of his poem calling a mistress’ birthday “one of great terror.” Christopher Marlowe's translation of an elegy by this author changes some of the speaker’s lament of his impotence into insults toward his partner. The speaker of a poem by this author succumbs to being a “fresh prize” for a god who “stole a foot away” and shot him through the heart with an (*) arrow. This poet unconventionally stuck to elegiac couplets for a didactic work that imagines the Rape of the Sabine Women as a theatrical production. The first two of the three sections in that poetic work by this author give male readers advice on how to pick up women.
