Excerpt from Virgil Aeneid, Books IV to Vi: Partly in the Original and Partly in English Verse Translation

It is not enough to set against these verdicts the testimony of the great writers, from Dante to Tennyson, who have confessed their debt to Virgil, nor to say that such criticisms represent the predominance of German literary taste, or the deeper appreciation of Greek poetry in the nineteenth century. It will be better to examine them separately and to see what measure of truth they contain.
