53 II.
The burning dog-star's most prevailing power Touches thee not. Thou giv'st the freshening hour, To the unyoked, wearied bull, And wand'ring herd — aye cool ! And among noble fountains shall I bring Thy name, as now the oak I soothly sing, Which waveth o'er the rock, From whence with bubbling shock, And prattling murmuring, Thy waters lightly spring.
54 ATTEMPTS IN VERSE.
FROM CATULLUS.
Unbocatfon at f)te JStotiKt'* ^ornfr.
Carm. C.
. •r^o^F-Of*-*" O'er much of land, o'er much of lonesome... sea, These saddest rites to pay, alas ! I come- That I may speak, though thou art mute, to thee, And pour due offering's, Brother, on thy tomb. Since ruthless Fortune's undeserved doom, Thy dearest self from hapless me has ta'en, But to address the dull and silent stone, Which covers what was thee, may soothe my pain. At least I'll fancy scatter'd not in vain, These flowers which in Ancestral-wise I bring, And tearful hope yon heaven-ascending flame, Is to thy shade a grateful offering. Brother !
