"Readings from Latin Verse; With Notes" is a collection of classic poems in the Latin language by scholar Curtis C. Bushnell. The poems cut across different genres from comedy to tragic poetry and feature well known poets of the classic era such as Vergil, Seneca, Phaedrus, Statius and Martial. Some of the works in the collection include: 'The Lament for Romulus'; 'Gods Careless of Mankind'; 'A Bereaved Father's Fortitude'; 'The Praise of Epicurus'; 'The Dead Pet'; and 'The Tale of Aristaeus' and many more...

Thomas Campion, Milton, Crashaw, Herbert, Bourne, Walter Savage Landor – all these poets, between them spanning the period from the Elizabethan to the Victorian age, wrote a substantial body of Latin verse in addition to their better-known English poetry, representing part of the vast and almost unexplored body of Neo-Latin literature which appealed to an international reading public throughout Europe. The Latin poetry of these English poets is of particular interest when it is set against the background of their writings in their own tongue: this collection examines the extent to which our judgment of a poet is altered by an awareness of his Latin works. In some we find prefigured themes which were later treated in their English verse; others wrote Latin poetry throughout their lives and give evidence in their Latin poetry of interests which do not find expression in their English compositions. This volume is a valuable resource for students of both Latin and English literature.
