Tibullus occasionally uses a transitional device employed by Propertius in a number of his own elegies—a technique called «dramatic unity». The poet connects two passages by having the reader imagine between them an unexpressed idea occurring during an unexpressed time-lapse. Like Propertius, Tibullus generally utilizes this device in elegies characterized by humorous or joyful situations (Tib. 12, 14, 18, II 1, and II 2).
