A MARTYR'S GRAVE.
"AMANTO FILIO DVLCISSIMO
QVI VIXIT ANNIS DVOBVS. ET. D. X.V.
N PACE."[1]
N the classic Appian way, The Roman street of tombs,Stands a lone Church, beneath whose floor Thread the drear catacombs;In dismal labyrinth they wind, These footpaths of the dead,Whereto in early Christian times, The persecuted fled.- ↑ An inscription in the Catacombs of St. Agnese, on the slab of a child's grave; a martyr of two years old.
