Excerpt from The Elegies of Tibullus: Being the Consolations of a Roman Lover If this were all, his v_erse would have perished With that of Macer and Gallus. But it is not all. These love-poems of a private gentleman of the Augustan time, show a delicacy of sentiment almost modern. Of the ribald curses which Catullus hurls after his departing Lesbia, there is nothing. He throws the blame on others: and ii, just to frighten, he describes the wretched old age of the girls who never were faithful, it is with a playful tone and hoping such bad luck will never befall any sweet-heart of his. This delicacy and tenderness, with the playful accent, are, perhaps, Tibullus' distinctive charm. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
