Not illustrated. 1903 Excerpt: ... that the events referred to did not take place. But that is not the case here. Had Tibullus used the indicative, aspkiebat...quaerebat, he would have been understood to mean that someone actually did see Phoebus, and this he wishes to avoid. So in Livy 34. 9. 3 'miraretur qui (=quisquis) tum cerneret--quae res eos t utaretur.' quaereret, i.e. would have asked where was the long hair of Phoebus. Qitaerere, like requirere (1. 41), is to look for something that is not there; cf. Ov. Fast. 6. 667 'quaeritur in scaena caua tibia.' 31. Delos, like Delphi, a famous seat of Apollo's worship. Python, or Pytho, the old name of Delphi, used especially of the sanctuary of Apollo where the Pythia, or priestess, uttered the oracles. 32. Cf. Ov..4.,4. 2. 239 'Cynthius Admeti uaccas pauisse Pheraeas fertur et in parna delituisse casa.' 33. felices olim. 'Happy the men of olden days when...' In this elliptical expression felices appears to be the ace. of exclamation. Cf. Ov. Her. 19. Ill 'felices illas, sua quas praesentia nosse crimina uera iubet, falsa timere uetat.' (N.L.P. 131). 35. fabula 'a byword'; cf. Prop. 2. 24. 1 'tu quereris cum sis iam noto fabula libro?' ille, Apollo. 36. The sense is, one who fondly loves his mistress would rather be a byword than a loveless deity. deus suggests that a god in love will not think of his god's rank. Nothing seems to be gained by making dens the subject to mamdt as some interpreters do. 37. 38. For these lines which are incomplete in sense see Or. App. II. in. 39-62 (35-58). 39 sqq. A complaint on the rapacity of his age. Nowadays, love is nothing, and greed and luxury everything despite nil the evils that they bring in their train (39--50). Oh, that Nemesis were content with a humble mode of life! But, as it is, alas, I must s...
