Dear All,
I have added a new translation of the complete poems of Tibullus and
Sulpicia to the Dante and Others Website, free downloads in all
major formats:

Albius Tibullus (c54-19BC) was a friend of Horace and contemporary of
Ovid. His love poetry is addressed to Delia and Nemesis his lovers.
He enjoyed the patronage of Messalla, along with the intriguing Sulpicia.
Her poems, and poems about her, come from the Messalla collection, their
authorship uncertain. She calls herself the daughter of Servius. Her
poetry is a fascinating but all too brief glimpse into the mind of
an educated Roman girl.
Best Wishes for Christmas and the New Year to you all
Tony
