This early selection of Marlowe's translation of Ovid's Amores was probably published abroad in 1599 (well after his death).

A fuller text "All Ovid's Elegies" by Marlowe was published abroad also after 1602 and is probably the edition ordered burned by the Archbishop Whitgift of Canterbury. The elegies provide a kind of narrative of a love affair between Corinna, a married woman, and Ovid. This discontinuous cycle told in the first person with the poet as lover provides a model for Medieval and Renaissance love poets such as Dante, Petrarch, Sidney, and Shakespeare.
