- "In this new translation Mr. Day Lewis has used the same metre he employed in his translation of the 'Georgics' (with which this volume is uniform)--a metre with six stresses to the line. Though it is very different in its rhythms from Virgil's hexameter, the translation is made line for line, with a minimum of padding or omission."
