Summary

Humphries has rendered (Ovid's) love poetry with conspicuous success into English which is neither obtrusively colloquial nor awkwardly antique.

Good translation weird voice

Translation is 1950s, so slightly dated, but otherwise quite understandable. Wouldn't have personally picked the voice actor to read ovid, but enjoyed the listen anywho.
