    TO CALVUS ANENT DEAD QUINTILIA.

    If to the dumb deaf tomb can aught or grateful or pleasing
    (Calvus!) ever accrue rising from out of our dule,
    Wherewith yearning desire renews our loves in the bygone,
    And for long friendships lost many a tear must be shed;
    Certès, never so much for doom of premature death-day
    Must thy Quintilia mourn as she is joyed by thy love.
