ResumoThe late Adolphe Coster, in his article ‘Dos palabras mas sobre las poesias de Fr. Luis de Leon’, in the first volume of the 1925 Homenaje a Menendez Pidal (Hernando, Madrid, 287–97), noted at line 65 of Que descansada vida (cuando el Cierzo y el Abrego porfian) two lines (49–50) from the first carmen of Tibullus. I should like in this paper to suggest that there are several more reminiscences from this poem of Tibullus in Leon's famous ode. Coster himself and W. J. Entwistle had each made a passing but unspecific allusion to Tibullus in connexion with Que descansada vida in earlier articles but I think no other scholar has done so before or since.
