Roman Books, Amores by Ovid, Amores Book 1: Epigramma Ipsius
Omnia conductor solvit; mercede soluta
Non manet officio debitor ille tuo.
Parcite, formosae, pretium pro nocte pacisci;
Non habet eventus sordida praeda bonos.
The hired one pays for everything; with the reward paid,
He does not remain in debt to your duty.
Spare, beautiful ones, to bargain a price for the night;
A dirty booty does not bring good outcomes.

It is the living that Envy feeds upon; after doom it stirs no more, when each man's fame guards him as he deserves.
Pascitur in vivis livor, post fata quiescit,
Tune suus ex merito quemquem tuetur honos.
