One work in this form begins "Come Phoebus! With your loosely floating hair," and is addressed to Sulpicia; Delia and Nemesis feature in other works in this genre by Tibullus. Another work in this form claims "No joy in corrupting Venus to a blind motion" and is from the four books of them, many addressed to Cynthia, by Propertius. Catullus crosses the sea to bring his brother gifts in one of these works, which also is the form of his final poem on Lesbia's sparrow. They traditionally used rhyming couplets of dactylic hexameter and pentameter, as in most works of Ovid, though that meter is not often used in more recent ones like "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd" and "In Memoriam AHH." For 10 points, name this sorrowful Latin poetic genre.
