Notes

  • Author's note: Translated from the Latin of Horace, Book 1 Od. xxii.
  • Epigraph:

    "Horace still charms with graceful negligence,

    And without method talks us into sense;

    Will, like a friend, familiarity convey

    The truest notions in the easiest way."

    Pope's "Essay on Criticism."
