Translation of the Epitaph on Virgil and Tibullus, by Domitius Marsus
He who, sublime, in epic numbers roll'd,
And he who struck the softer lyre of Love,
By Death's unequal 1 hand alike controul'd,
Fit comrades in Elysian regions move!
Footnote 1:
Ý The hand of Death is said to be unjust or unequal, as Virgil was considerably older than Tibullus at his decease.
