Excerpt from The Wonderful History of Virgilius the Sorceror of Rome: Englished for the First Time

Throughout the well-nigh two thousand years that separate the time of Augustus C?sar from our own, the name of Virgil and his fame have been transmitted with undiminished lustre through varying import, according to the creed and culture of those many succeeding generations by whom the tale of his glory was taken up and handed on to the present day.

Revered and beloved during the golden age of Rome's literature and newly arisen empire, as the sweet singer of her pastoral life and military glory, Virgil, prophet alike and poet of Rome's high destiny to rule as lawgiver over a conquered world, became identified with her fame.

"Tityrus et fruges ?neisque arma legentur

Roma triumphati dum caput orbis erit."
