The Epistle Dedicatory.  
To his worthy and much honoured friend, Capt. John cain of White chapel.  
SIR,  
THough idleness be a 'vice so bad, that nothing can be spoken disgraceful enough of it; yet the industrious busying ourselves,( especially if we also trouble others) about tristes, and things which redound to little or no use, comes but little short of it in folly and absurdity. Those that know me will not accuse me of the former: and I hope that with reference to my pains in the following sheets, I shall not be charged with the latter. I think I may without vanity say, they contain not only useful and excellent matter, but much in a little room; even a good part of the very quintessence and marrow of the famous Latin Poets. What though they were Heathens? Moses himself may take good counsel, though given by a Midianite. And the blessed Apostle Paul made use of Passages taken out of the Greek Poets, both in his Preaching and Epistles, as Acts 17.28. 1 Cor. 15.33. Tit. 1.12. This small work designed for the use and benefit of your Son and the rest of my Scholars, I humbly present and Dedicate unto yourself: whose eminency and worth is such, as may give it Patronage and countenance, and from whose candour I promise myself a favourable acceptance. It is, Sir,( with my prayers to God, that you and yours may be more and more enriched with all the blessings of this and a better life,) the best evidence that at present I can give you, of the respect and gratitude due from,  
Sir, your obliged friend and servant, John Langston.   

THE PREFACE To the Courteous and Ingenious Reader.  
A Just account of the chief Occasion, Reason, and Use of this small undertaking will be, as the most proper and pertinent, so( probably) the most successful Apology, both for the design and its Author. Omitting therefore other Artifices and Insinuations; I shall only acquaint the candid Reader, that in the execution of that difficult and weighty charge of educating youth, which God's providence hath called me to, and now for a good number of years continued me in; I have often been projecting and contriving,( as indeed it cannot well be otherwise, with them that are conscientious and faithful in the discharge of so great a trust:) how I might manage my Province with the greater fruit and success. Yet so, as that I still resolved to keep at a distance from the affectation of novelty.  
Amongst other more substantial things, I observed how spoutaneously forward and eager Lads were in that old and ordinary exercise, commonly called, Capping of Verses. The Verses they made use of, I observed, were for the most part depending and imperfect sentences, and so yielded little other benefit, than the bare exercising of their memories. Hence, some years since I began to think, that if a competent number of the more Elegant, pithy and sententious sayings, wherewith the Poets have here and there bespangled their works, were collected; and, that the verses beginning with such or such a letter might be more readily found, alphabetically disposed; and if also the less experienced in the Latin Tongue might be brought to understand, what they do in this sporting way patter over; that then it would not only exercise their memories, but also conduce towards their getting words, and a facility in construing them; and moreover it would furnish them with some ready materials for their theme and other School-exercises, without the tedious and discouraging labour of searching, they sometimes know not where. And lastly,( though other uses and benefits might be assigned,) it would store their minds with excellent precepts of morality, and other choice observations, both ornamental and useful in their whole lives. Moved hereby, I set upon the work of Collecting, and Translating what I had collected, and made a good progress therein; and gave direction to my Scholars, that they should not confine themselves to a single verse, but be it less or more, have respect to the perfect sentence, as I had written it for them. I also appointed, especially the lower forms, immediately after the reciting of the Latin, to add its English also, or else that his Antagonist should not admit the verse; which when once they were used to, it became as familiar to them as otherwise. And though they were forward enough to contend this way amongst themselves, yet for their greater encouragement and benefit, I now and then heard them myself. Neither did my hope deceive me altogether, for I found good fruit and advantage hereby. Not long after, meeting in the Schools Probation, with the Title of a book which I was a stranger to, yet then used in Merchant-Taylors-School, viz. Gnomologicon poeticum; I made enquiry for it, and at last with some difficulty( it being almost out of Print,) got it. This book, I perceived, was designed by Mr. A. Ross its Author, much what to the ends before mentioned, and I was much confirmed thereby in my apprehensions of the usefulness of some such thing. But still I judged that the rendering them into English, which was wanting in Mr. Ross his book, would much promote and enlarge the benefit thereof. For I found by too evident experience, that amongst youths, some that were capable to make themselves masters of the meaning of them in Latin, yet would satisfy themselves to be without the sweet kernel, rather than trouble themselves with the harder shell. I went on therefore with my former collections, taking in also his to my assistance, and the rather because that book of his was now grown scarce. And to save my Scholars the trouble of transcribing, I have now adventured to hand it to them from the Press; with this hope also, that if any others shall please to make trial of it with me, they may not sinned it altogether unuseful.  
As for the manner of performance, you will find but few of the sentences rendered Grammatically or word for word, being warranted by that of Hor. de Arte Poetica Nec verbum verbo curabis reddere, sidus Interpres— I judged it convenient, that having afforded the young learner no small help, by a brief hint of the chief drift and matter; scope should be left him for the trial and exercise of his own skill and ability, at a more particular and Grammatical unfolding of the sentences, and that thereby he might acquaint himself with that greater Elegancy and Emphasis which they carry with them, in their own native habit. If in the rendering of any I have missed of the true genuine sense,( as in so great variety it is not good to be too confident;) if the ingenuous Reader shall either exercise a silent candour, or give himself the greater trouble of better informing me, it must needs be looked upon as a great obligation. I thought it expedient to place those verses that begin with Ae by themselves, rather than under A, to which they naturally belong. And because there are few or none that begin with X, I have supplied that defect with such as begin with Ex, which agrees in sound, and may do as well. And whereas there is little use of some of the letters in Capping, as B, C, D, F, G, &c. I was loth upon many accounts to leave out all those Verses, whose initial letter happens to be any of them: and the Teacher may appoint his Scholars to cap also sometimes out of these, without respect to the final letter.  
In this Collection I have passed by some hundreds lest I should swell the book to too great a bulk and price; but I have endeavoured to take some of the best, and of most use. Those that please to make use of it, may, by having one interleav'd, add remarkable passages, as they occur, at their pleasure.  
I submit the whole to the censure of the candid and Learned, and shall rejoice if I may hereby, though in the least, be serviceable to the furthering of youth in virtue and good literature, as being, Reader,  
Thine and their willing Servant to my power, John Langston

The other two counted unsavoury.  33

THE END.   

Courteous READERS,  
That you find so many of the Sentences rendered in English Verse, is not because I was thereto encouraged by any great Poetical vein, but because some of them otherwise rendered would have appeared slat. It was beside my first intention, and hence you will find little thereof towards the beginning. I have not kept myself to Verses of one sort or length; for neither are they so in the Latin, nor have the Sentences any connexion or dependency one upon another. To some few of those out of Horace and Juvenal, I have given the rendering of the Translators of those Authors, especially where I found it best svit with my own Fancy and Design. That I have inserted out of Authors many Sentences of more than one or two Verses apiece, and such also as are not Hexameters nor Pentameters; was because I apprehended that other uses may possibly be made of this Book by some, than barely for capping: And yet why Youth may not, if the Teacher please, profitably cap out of these also, I know not, except that it hath been customary to do otherwise. If any differ in opinion from me herein, they are at their liberty; and I suppose here are enough single and complete Verses of the Heroic and Elegiac sort, competently to serve their purpose.  
I have nothing more to advertise the Reader, but concerning the Faults that have escaped the Press, wherein the Printer doth the more confidently hope for a favourable Candour, because they are but few, and the most of those too but Literal; however it was thought meet they should be here subjoined.
