5. To Sextus, Keeper of the Palatine Library
'T IS yours to worship at Minerva's shrine,
And yours to share a Caesar's thought divine,
To read his secret soul and watch the birth
Of cares that move the guardian of the earth.
I pray you find a corner for my work,
Where Pedo, Marsus, and Catullus lurk:
No book, save it be Virgil's, dares to stand
Beside the epic of the Master hand.
And yours to share a Caesar's thought divine,
To read his secret soul and watch the birth
Of cares that move the guardian of the earth.
I pray you find a corner for my work,
Where Pedo, Marsus, and Catullus lurk:
No book, save it be Virgil's, dares to stand
Beside the epic of the Master hand.
