- Description
- The "aubade" of Troilus shows its indebtedness to Ovid's "Amores" (I, 13) in both references and tone, but the effect is transformed by the poet's playing off of medieval complaint and Ovidian satire. Donne makes a similar combination but transforms it into a triumph for lovers by use of a metaphysical conceit.
