More quotes by Tibullus

Be bold: Venus herself aids the stout-hearted.

Fond Hope keeps the spark alive, whispering ever that tomorrow things will mend.

At lovers' perjuries Jove laughs and throws them idly to the winds.

And at departure he will say, "Mayest thou rest soundly and quietly, and may the light turf lie easy on thy bones."

Because of thee thy Egypt never sues for showers, nor does the parched blade bow to Jove the Rain-giver.
