Okay - now that I have your attention
Can someone confirm or deny that ars est celere artem is from Ovid's Art of
Love.
Many thanks,

It's celare. I haven't got Ovid's Art of Love to hand, but the Oxford
Dictionary of English Proverbs cites the Latin merely as L., with no
reference to a literary source, and so I suspect it's merely proverbial.
