Latin hexameters, lyrics, and pentameters. Including translations from Milton's Paradise Lost; 'Lament on the death of Thomson' [ie Ode on the Death of [James] Thomson, by William Collins]; pieces from Holden's Foliorum Silvula [a collection of English passages for translation into Latin and Greek]; Loss of the Birkenhead [by Sir Francis Hastings Doyle]; and 'Somerville's Chase' [or The Chace, by William Somerville]. Pieces which may be Robert Milnes' own composition are a dialogue between Mopsus and Menalcas [characters from Virgil's Eclogues], and a lyric entitles 'Salve, Alexandrovna', dated 13 Mar. 1874 and presumably written to mark the marriage between the Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia and Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh.
