But alas for his weak and passionate heart ! It was her beauty, not her accomplishments, that dragged him back to her again and again, even in his own despite. " Quamvis dura, tamen rara puella fuit, " Propertius: A Modern Lover in the Augustan Age y is his own reluctant admission, even while nursing his wrongs after a mortal quarrel. Such, if we make due allowance for the enthusiasm of a lover, was the woman whom Propertius met at the turning-point of his career. He could not have been much ov...er eighteen: pre- cocious and erratically brilliant, filled with his book-learning, fired with his Alexandrian poets ; but scarcely more than the child he had just ceased to be.
