Note 10 — ACHILLES TATIUS,

Rowland Smith translation

Ἔμπνουν ἄγαλμα.

"And there she stood, so calm and pale That, but her breathing did not fail, And motion slight of eye and head, And of her bosom, warranted That neither sense nor pulse she lacks, You might have thought a form of wax, Wrought to the very life, was there; But still she was, so pale, so fair."—Marmion, c. xxi
