Ovid writes:"Qui canit arte,canat.Qui bibit arte,bibat."Why is arte used in the ablative instrumental(By itself,without "cum")?I thought the instrumental was used mostly with tools.Here shouldn't it be "cum arte"("Skillfully",in the ablative of manner with "cum",because "arte" is referring to the manner)?
