    Ovid
    “And when wine has soaked Cupid’s drunken wings,
    he’s stayed, weighed down, a captive of the place.
    ...
    Wine rouses courage and is fit for passion:
    care flies, and deep drinking dilutes it.
    ...
    Don’t trust the treacherous lamplight overmuch:
    night and wine can harm your view of beauty.
    Paris saw the goddesses in the light, a cloudless heaven,
    when he said to Venus: ‘Venus, you win, over them both.’
    Faults are hidden at night: every blemish is forgiven,
    and the hour makes whichever girl you like beautiful.
    Judge jewellery, and fabric stained with purple,
    judge a face, or a figure, in the light.”
    Ovid, The Art of Love
