Nature
Book IX, 419
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. III, 1917)
Nature
With most august Caesar, even if he go to the depths of the Hercynian forest or to extreme Soloeis ! and the western edge of Libya, goeth everywhere glory. The waters of the Pyrenees testify it. They in which not even the neighbouring wood-cutters washed, shall now be baths for two continents.
