The Tragedies of Seneca / Translated into English Verse, to Which Have Been Appended Comparative Analyses of the Corresponding Greek and Roman Plays, and a Mythological Index

by Lucius Annaeus Seneca

With lighter stroke are pierced. To thee

The spotted tigers yield, to thee

The bisons, shaggy backed, and the wild,

Broad-hornéd oxen of the woods.65

In desert pasture lands; whate'er

The needy Garamantian knows,

Whate'er the Arab rich in woods,

Or wild Sarmatian, wandering free

Across the lonely wilderness;70
