Some verses in dactylic hexameter (I hope) summarizing the story of Orpheus it's still work in progress:  Orpheu, cur lyram pulsas vocis dulcis cantu? Qui potes frustra Eurydicen occurrere sero, quae periit morsu non matura anguis acerbi?  Ora videnda uxoris numquam non patitur, ut Appetat infernum regnum et conturbet manes. Hic adventus  The death of Eurydice (1637)  by Peter Paul Rubens at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam
