The Elegies of Tibullus Being the Consolations of a Roman Lover Done in English Verse

My simple cot brings such secure repose, When so companioned I can lie, That winds of winter and the whirling snows Sing me soft lullaby.

我简朴的小屋带来这般安稳的休憩，当我与挚爱相依而眠，冬日的寒风与纷飞的雪花，便为我轻声唱起摇篮曲。

This lot be mine! I envy not their gold Who rove the furious ocean foam: A frugal life will all my pleasures hold, If love be mine, and home.

此生足矣！我不羡慕那些漂泊怒海追金的人：只要有爱，有家，简朴一生便尽享欢愉。
