Eclogues

Virgil

Vergil. The Poems of Vergil. Rhoades, James, translator. London: Oxford University Press, 1921.

  1. Songs can the very moon draw down from heaven
  2. circe with singing changed from human form
  3. the comrades of Ulysses, and by song
  4. is the cold meadow-snake, asunder burst.
  5. These triple threads of threefold colour first
  6. I twine about thee, and three times withal
  7. around these altars do thine image bear:
  8. uneven numbers are the god's delight.
