AULUS ALBIUS, a Roman knight, and a celebrated Latin poet, was born at Rome 43 B. C. He was the friend of Horace, Ovid, Macer, and other great men in the reign of Augustus. He accompanied Messala Corvinus in his expedition against the island of Corcyra: but falling sick, and being unable to support the fatigues of war on account of the weakness of his constitution, he quitted the profusion of arms, and returned to Rome, where he died before the year 17; when Ovid showed his grief for his death by writing a fine elegy upon him. Tibullus wrote four books of elegies, which are still extant: they are written in a tender and agreeable style, and in very elegant Latin. Muret and Joseph Scaliger have written learned and curious commentaries on the works of this poet. The best edition of Tibullus is that of Janus Bronckhufus, published at Amsterdam in 1708, in one volume quarto. We have an English poetical version by Mr Grainger.
