My Kingdom
Vergil, Eclogues 1.67-69 (H. Rushton Fairclough):
Newer› ‹Older
Ah, shall I ever, long years hence, look again on my country's bounds, on my humble cottage with its turf-clad roof—shall I, long years hence, look amazed on a few ears of corn, once my kingdom?The critical apparatus from the Teubner edition by Silvia Ottaviano wrongly cites the page number of Havet as 32 (obviously a mistake for 82). On the problematic line 69 see most recently Egil Kraggerud, Vergiliana: Critical Studies on the Texts of Publius Vergilius Maro (London: Routledge, 2017), pp. 11-12, with notes on p. 80.
en umquam patrios longo post tempore finis,
pauperis et tuguri congestum caespite culmen,
post aliquot, mea regna uidens, mirabor aristas?
ante 69 lacunam indic. Havet, Revue de philologie, de littérature et d'histoire 38 (1914) 81-82, suppl. aspiciam? aut ego hyperboreo flauescere sole
