520    Both Ovid and Spenser also treat this ancient myth, but 
       Spenser alters the ending, converting the tale into an 
       archetype of fulfilled love, whereas Ovid, like 
       Shakespeare, combines humor with pathos as a buffer 
       against sentimentality. Ovid's Venus behaves absurdly out 
       of character, becoming a huntress to keep her lover 
       company in the woods. Shakespeare, however, preserves 
       decorum, his Venus remains at all times the queen of love.
       The humor arises rather from the fact that the would-be 
       paramour isn't interested. This endows the goddess's 
       wooing with nearly slapstick over-exertion, and yet her 
       sincerity makes her appealing, while Adonis's immaturity 
       forces us to respect his chastity. The pathos comes, of 
       course, from the unhappy ending-more unhappy because we do
       not expect a comedy to end sadly, especially not when we 
       sympathize with the characters. The poetic form or genre, 
       the epyllion, is an erotic narrative based on mythology, 
       like Marlowe's Hero and Leander and, later, Phineus 
       Fletcher's Venus and Anchises, also found in the Librivox 
       catalogue. Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece, both 
       narrative poems, are the only works that Shakespeare ever 
       carefully saw through the press.
