For pardon found adore Eurydice
With a slain calf for victim。〃
No delay:
The self…same hour he hies him forth to do
His mother's bidding: to the shrine he came;
The appointed altars reared; and thither led
Four chosen bulls of peerless form and bulk;
With kine to match; that never yoke had known;
Then; when the ninth dawn had led in the day;
To Orpheus sent his funeral dues; and sought
The grove once more。 But sudden; strange to tell
A portent they espy: through the oxen's flesh;
Waxed soft in dissolution; hark! there hum
Bees from the belly; the rent ribs overboil
In endless clouds they spread them; till at last
On yon tree…top together fused they cling;
And drop their cluster from the bending boughs。
So sang I of the tilth of furrowed fields;
Of flocks and trees; while Caesar's majesty
Launched forth the levin…bolts of war by deep
Euphrates; and bare rule o'er willing folk
Though vanquished; and essayed the heights of heaven。
I Virgil then; of sweet Parthenope
The nursling; wooed the flowery walks of peace
Inglorious; who erst trilled for shepherd…wights
The wanton ditty; and sang in saucy youth
Thee; Tityrus; 'neath the spreading beech tree's shade。
…THE END…
