Abstract

531 context, however, and in the light of libero in line 1, it seems appropriate to take deliberata as if it were deL i b e r ata and meant 'sobered Up'8). When we consider the ring-composition by stanzas that has been detected in this poem9), some may find it significant that libero and deliberata are, respec- tively, the last word of the first line of the first stanza, and the first word of the first line of the last stanza.
