“Quō nōn līvor adit? sunt quī tibi mēnsis honōrem”
Wherefore will envy not assail? There are those who would rob you of the honor of the month, and who wish to begrudge you, Venus. (Perhaps wishing to regain the favor of his former patron, Caesar Augustus, Ovid writes with twofold purpose in Book IV: Honor the traditional springtime worship of Venus, and defend an ancestry to her claimed by Julius Caesar, adoptive father of Augustus. See Venus (mythology).)
