The Æneid, Georgics, and Ecologues rendered into Engl. blank verse, by T.S. Burt. Including the Lat. text

The graceful laurel, by (bright) Phoebus raised:
The rhododaphne, and the lily, too;

Nor thought of rosemary was laid aside;
And Sabine herb, like frankincense in scent.
Chrysanthus, too, and shining ivy, with
Its paly clusters, and the Bocchus plant,
Memorial of the King of Libya ;
The ox-eye flourishing, and amaranth,
And ever florid pine; Narcissus is

Not absent thence, the glory of whose sheen
Glows on the sense with fire voluptuous;
And whatsoever flower the spring renews.
Above all these the monument is raised,
And in its front this epitaph is placed,

Which, as a memoir, speaks with silent voice:
"O little Gnat; the Guardian of these flocks
Renders to thee, deserving such return,
For gift of life to him, this Monument."
