The Elegies and Epic Poem of Albius Tibullus, Translated Into English Verse (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Elegies and Epic Poem of Albius Tibullus, Translated Into English Verse During the voyage, while those around him but thought of victory, wealth, and glory, the mind of Tibullus was lingering with her he loved, in the well-remembered scenes. His increasing dej eetion brought on a fever, and his companions were compelled to leave him on his sick bed in tacea. There he was pouring forth his regrets for his distant Delia in most pathetic strains, while she was consoling herself for his absence in the arms of a bus band! Is not the heart of such a woman like the mirror, which returns in vivid and true colours the obj ect before it; but which, when that is removed, displays in equal brilliancy the image of another? 3' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
