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.

Tibullus is considered one of the finest exponents of Latin lyric in the golden age of Rome, during the Emperor Augustus’s reign, and his poetry retains its enduring beauty and appeal. Together these works provide an important document for anyone who seeks to understand Roman culture and sexuality and the origins of Western poetry. • The new translation by Rodney Dennis and Michael Putnam conveys to students the elegance and wit of the original poems. • Ideal for courses on classical literature, classical civilization, Roman history, comparative literature, and the classical tradition and reception. • The Latin verses will be printed side-by-side with the English text. • Explanatory notes and a glossary elucidate context and describe key names, places, and events. • An introduction by Julia Haig Gaisser provides the necessary historical and social background to the poet’s life and works. • Includes the poems of Sulpicia and Lygdamus, transmitted with the text of Tibullus and formerly ascribed to him.
