	METER AND SCANSION
		The three selections from Ovid, all from the Amores, are in elegiac couplet, a meter created by the early Greek lyric poets for a variety of themes (drinking, military, history, dedications, epitaphs, laments, and love poems) and to be accompanied by music on the flute.
		While the meter of Roman elegy is almost totally derived from its Greek originals, it is original to the Romans in its treatment.
		The elegiac couplet, particularly as Ovid composed it, tends to be sense contained, in that each line of verse presents a complete idea.
