: Help! I am looking for the name of the translator of this from Virgil's Georgics: : To death at once whole herds of cattle go; : Sheep, oxen, horses, fall; and heaped on high, : The differing species in confusion lie, : Till, warned by frequent ills, the way they found : To lodge their loathsome carrion under ground: : For useless to the currier were their hides; : Nor could their tainted flesh with ocean tides : Be free from filth.... : Nor safely could they shear their fleecy store : (Made drunk with poisonous juice, and : stiff with gore), : Or touch the web; but, if the vest they wear, : Red blisters rising on their paps appear, : And flaming carbuncles, and noisome sweat, : And clammy dews, that loathsome lice beget; : Till the slow-creeping evil eats his way, : Consumes the parching limbs, and makes the : life his prey. : I have Googled various sections of the words above and failed to find them in any Virgil posted on the 'net... : Any help will be greatly appreciated.
