Hey--what are the lines?

> On page 14 of "Spirit of Romance" Pound provides 4 Latin lines he

> Does anyone know where in Ovid the lines came from?  I have found a
> near English equivalent to Pound's translation; Golding book 3 line

> I have searched the Perseus at Tufts with no results.  I am not an

      How can one live freely and without law?
      To this enigma man must find an answer,
      on pain of death.
       Albert Camus, from "Metaphysical Rebellion"
