Tristia ('Sorrows') is a work of poetry written by the Roman poet Ovid some time after 8AD, during his exile from Rome.


In it he laments the misery of his situation, and mentions his hopes for alleviation of his punishment.


It begins:

Parue -- nec inuideo -- sine me, liber, ibis in urbem: \ ei mihi, quod domino non licet ire tuo!

Translation:

You will go, my little book, without me to the city, but I don't envy you. \ Go on - go to the city forbidden to me - forbidden to your master.
