Title:     Translation of the Epitaph on Virgil and Tibullus, by Domitius Marsus
Author: Lord Byron [More Titles by Byron]

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. The hand of Death is said to be unjust or unequal, as
Virgil was considerably older than Tibullus at his decease.]
