The Library of historic characters and famous events of all nations . do not weep !Choose not a tender womans aid,Not the frail soul of shepherd maid! Was I concernd with warlike things,With battles or the strife of kings ?In innocence I led my sheepAdown the mountains silent Thou didst send me into life,Midst princely halls and scenes of strife,To lose my spirits tender bloom:Alas, I did not seek my doom ! — Translated by A.
