TRANSLATION OF THE EPITAPH ON VIRGIL AND TIBULLUS, by DOMITIUS MARSUS.
He who sublime in epic numbers roll'd,
And he who struck the softer lyre of love,
By Death's [14] unequal hand alike controul'd,
Fit comrades in Elysian regions move.
Footnote 14: [(return)]
The hand of Death is said to be unjust or unequal, as Virgil was considerably older than Tibullus, at his decease.
IMITATION OF TIBULLUS "SULPICIA AD CERINTUM." LIB. QUART.
Cruel Cerintus! does this fell disease,
Which racks my breast, your fickle bosom please.
