Si quicquam mutis gratum acceptumve...

Si quicquam mutis gratum acceptumve sepulcris
accidere a nostro, Calve, dolore potest, 
quo desiderio veteres renovamus amores 
atque olim missas flemus amicitias, 
certe non tanto mors immatura dolori est 
Quintiliae, quantum gaudet amore tuo

Consolation

If living sorrows any boon 
Unto the silent grave can give 
When sad remembrances revive 
Old loves and friendships fugitive, 
She sorrows less she died so soon 
Than joys your love is still alive.

by Arthur Symons (1865-1945) , no title, from Knave of hearts, published 1908?
