Besides, there were other Reasons that in a manner made it a Debt upon me, the Trouble you have taken to read over this Work, and to make some Amendments in it, and the...

Excerpt from The Aeneid of Virgil: Translated Into English Verse Dryden's style in poetry is sufficiently unlike that which finds most favor in the present day: but it can not be said to be Obsolete. And though in its minuter shades it affords rather a contrast than a parallel to Virgil's, they have at all events the common quality Of being really poetical, that inner identity which far outweighs a thousand points of external similarity, supp...

Excerpt from The Georgics and Eclogues of VirgilPity and hope being thus the saving elements among the thin conventionalities of the Eclogues, Virgil retains them in the Georgics but transforms them through the addition of sterner stuff. In the Georgics toyland has disappeared, the realities of the country claim attention. Nor do we hear any thing more of a Utopia, a blessed condition to be dreamed of until some day it appears. Virgil's mature...

Excerpt from Virgil, Vol. 1: The Eclogues Translated by Wrangham, the Georgics by Sotheby, and the Æneid by Dryden When she recovered, she made the poet a present of ten sesterces for every line in praise of her son, which amounted in the whole to above two thousand pounds sterling, - a reward equal to Octavia's generosity, and not above Virgil's merit. An event at length occurred, which forms a prominent feature both in the biography of our...

Excerpt from The Georgics of Virgil: Books I, IIThe prosaic science of the farmyard would not at first sight seem to present a promising basis for the poet's art. Yet Virgil undertook the task with evident pleasure, and accomplished it with an ease that is the despair of his translators. Nor can it be said that he shrinks in any way from the difficulties in his path. He attacks the commonplaces of the subject with equal courage and success. He...

Mackail Fellow of Balliol College Oxford, Non Illum Nostri Possunt Mutare Labores The shepherd Corydon burned for fair Alexis, his master's darling, and found no hope: only among the thick shady-topped beeches he would continually come, and there alone utter in idle passion these artless words to the hills and woods.

Excerpt from The Works of Virgil As the poet, in the first part of the example, had shewn the bad effects of discord, so, after the reconcilement, he gives the good effects of unity, for Hector is slain, and then Troy must fall. By this 't is probable that Homer liv'd when the Median monarchy was grown formidable to the Grecians, and that the joint endeavors of his countrymen were little enough to preserve their common freedom from an encroac...
