MADAM HALLEY Drawing

Latin poem on this topic, written by the fourth-century poet Ausonius (Parentalia 9; transl. H. G. Evelyn-White) Age has crept over me, but yet I cannot lull my pain; for ever it keeps raw and well-nigh new to me. Others receive of time a balm to soothe their grief: these wounds become but heavier with length of days. I tear my grey hairs mocked by my widowed life, and the more I live in loneliness, the more I live in heaviness. That my house is still and silent, and that my bed is cold, that I share not my ills with any, my good with any—these things feed my wound. I grieve, if one man has a worthy wife; and yet again I grieve if another has a bad: for pattern, you are ever present with me. However it be, you come to torture me: if one be bad, because you were not like her; or if one be good, because you were like her.
