O knihe
Excerpt from Virgil's Æneid: Translated Literally, Line by Line, Into English Dactylic Hexameter
The second noteworthy attempt at a metrical version in English of any part of the [eneid was in 1557, by Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, who translated the 2d and 4th Books into blank verse, a meter invented by himself, but which has since taken such high rank in English versifiea tion. This was a work of much literary ability; but unfortunately his public duties prevented him from carrying it to completion. It is still by many highly prized for its closeness to the original, being a line by line translation, and for its vigorous and pure English diction.
