Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Elegies of Sextus Propertius: Translated Into English Verse, With Life of the Poet and Illustrative Notes
Notwithstanding these drawbacks, few poets possess a greater charm, or better repay a careful study, than Propertius. As regards energy, brilliancy, and pathos, he claims a foremost place among elegiac poets; while in scholarly refinement, elegance, and archaeological research, he has few equals in Roman literature.
