[Epigraph] Virgil, Bucolics (Apr 20, 2009 2:17 pm)
February
About : Publius Vergilius Maro (October 15, 70 BCE – September 21, 19 BCE) was a classical Roman poet,
best known for three major works—the Bucolics (or Ecloques), the Georgics and the Aeneid—although several
minor poems are also attributed to him. The son of a farmer, Virgil came to be regarded as one of Rome's
greatest poets; his Aeneid as Rome's national epic.
HE IS MY FAVOURITE POET.
GEORGICON
LIBER II
Hactenus arvorum cultus et sidera caeli,
nunc te, Bacche, canam, nec non silvestria tecum
virgulta et prolem tarde crescentis olivae.
Huc, pater o Lenaee---tuis hic omnia plena
muneribus, tibi pampineo gravidus autumno
floret ager, spumat plenis vindemia labris---
huc, pater o Lenaee, veni nudataque musto
tingue novo mecum direptis crura cothurnis.
GEORGIC II
Thus far the tilth of fields and stars of heaven;
Now will I sing thee, Bacchus, and, with thee,
The forest's young plantations and the fruit
Of slow-maturing olive. Hither haste,
O Father of the wine-press; all things here
Teem with the bounties of thy hand; for thee
With viny autumn laden blooms the field,
And foams the vintage high with brimming vats;
Hither, O Father of the wine-press, come,
And stripped of buskin stain thy bared limbs
In the new must with me.
