NAV wTDOW BREAK HER vow?

Should a widow who has sOlemnly vowed,
like the famous 'EMatrOn of Ephesus,
never to wed again, ever break her VOW?
Virgil discusses this fine point in his fourth
book of the Eneid, and here is a transta-
ton of the passage, by the editor Of the
JVinsted, Comm Herald:
Next dav the sun rose at the proper time,
And much improved the Carthagenlan chime,
When thus her sister Anna she addressed:
ssSister nv thoughts are full of wild unrest
This nice Young man that's now stopping bsre
To nay affections is growing dear;
Celestial is his origin, know;
Such fearless souls don't efnanate below.
NV grief What savage fights that man mas nj,
And how genteel he can girRup and git
'Fi hadn't vowed not to unite agln
I'm not quite certain but should cave IN
Since poor dear Sic was slew by Brother PyS;
For no live man I've ever cared hg
Till unto Carthage this brave hero came
Buf now swami feel the ancient flame"
Thus Dido speaks-her swaily choked with
tears
Whom thus the sympathfZing Anna cheers:
90, sister dearer than the light OF day,
WHY will YOU weep your precious eyes away!
Do You suppose your husbaOd's bone-dust cares
A Bpngtown copper who his trousers wears!
