MAR. LIB. IV.
EP. 33.
Et latet et lucet, Phaetontide condita
gutta
Ut videatur apis nectare clausa suo.
Sic
modo, quae fuerat vita contempta manente,
Funeribus
facta est jam preciosa suis.
IN ENGLISH.
Both lurks and shines, hid in an amber tear,
The bee,
in her own nectar prisoner;
So she, who in her life
time was contemn'd,
Ev'n in her very funerals is
gemm'd.
