Virgil

Myself acquainted with misfortune, I learn to help the unfortunate.

Virgil

Naked in death upon an unknown shore.

Virgil

Night reigned: all through the world tied bodies were harvesting tranquil slumber.

Virgil

No other evil we know is faster than Rumor, thriving on speed and becoming stronger by running. Small and timid at first, then borne on a light air, she flits over ground while hiding her head on a cloud-top.

Virgil

No stranger to misfortune myself, I have learned to relieve the sufferings of others.

Virgil

None but himself can be his parallel.

Virgil

Not being untutored in suffering, I learn to pity those in affliction.

Virgil

Now every field is clothed with grass, and every tree with leaves; now the woods put forth their blossoms, and the year assumes its gay attire.

Virgil

O farmers, pray that your summers be wet and your winters clear.

Virgil

O tyrant love, to what do you not drive the hearts of men.
