V. C. W.

Nec Tyriae Didonis amor nec forma fefellit,
Nec fluvios Erebi monstravit diva Sibylla:
Sed profugum fato Saturnia regna secutum
Me dilecta comes ad caelos alma vocasti.


G. H. P.

I hear thy accent when I read
The change-and-time-defying creed
Of Shakespeare’s youth; or when divine
Odysseus pleads in words of thine;
Through thee our England’s laurelled choir
Breathed o’er my youth their generous fire:
And now these strains of Virgil’s song
Not less to thee than him belong.
