XCVI.

If to the silent dead aught sweet or tender ariseth,

Calvus, of our dim grief's common humanity born;

When to a love long cold some pensive pity recals us,

When for a friend long lost wakes some unhappy regret;

Not so deeply, be sure, Quintilia's early departing 5

Grieves her, as in thy love dureth a plenary joy.
