About This Book

This collection assembles narrative and lyric pieces with translations and shorter verse, ranging from a sensuous mythic narrative of two lovers' clandestine meetings and perilous sea crossings to line-for-line renderings of Roman elegies and the opening book of a Latin epic. It also includes short epigrams, a pastoral lyric, fragmentary pieces, and a dialogue in verse. Recurring concerns are erotic longing, classical mythic imagery, and rhetorical ornament, expressed in vivid, ornate language and energetic verse. Editorial appendices and notes document variant readings and supply textual context.

FOOTNOTES:

[685] The inverted iron horns or tubes, a few of which still remain on lamp-posts and gates, were formerly used as extinguishers to the torches which were thrust into them.
