Epitaph of Eusthenes.

Here the shrewd physiognomist Eusthenes lies,

Who could tell all your thoughts by a glance at your eyes.

A stranger, with strangers his honoured bones rest;

They valued sweet song, and he gave them his best.

All the honours of death doth the poet possess:

If a small one, they mourned for him nevertheless.

Theocritus, translated into English Verse · 第 63 / 74 题
