Translation of Sir Theodore Martin.


TWO CHORDS

I Hate and love—the why I cannot tell.
But by my tortures know the fact too well.

Translation of Sir Theodore Martin.


LAST WORD TO LESBIA

O Furius and Aurelius! comrades sweet!
Who to Ind's farthest shore with me would roam,
Where the far-sounding Orient billows beat
Their fury into foam;

Or to Hyrcania, balm-breathed Araby,
The Sacian's or the quivered Parthian's land,
Or where seven-mantled Nile's swoll'n waters dye
The sea with yellow sand;
