 The aim of the Publishers, in this edition of Horace, 
 has been to meet the growing demand for Annotations 
 on the Classics, in English. In the general esti- 
 mate, the advantage of the scholar stands before 
 the interest of the master. Latin notes can, it is 
 obvious, in the work of instruction, be of utility 
 only to the teacher — the learner, boy or man, is in 
 no condition to reap the benefit of them; and boys, 
 in particular, are too easily repulsed by difficulties, 
 to force their way through so formidable an obstruc- 
 tion. It is notorious, indeed, that they scarcely 
 ever make the attempt. There will still be teachers 
 to deprecate this innovation upon established prac- 
 tice ; but to advance to the unknown through the 
 known is the dictate of common sense — as applicable

 in matters of mere language as of graver philosophy ; 
 and prejudices must give way to practical wisdom. 
 The editor has condensed the substance of the 
 Delphin notes, together with those of subsequent 
 critics, especially Doering. His one object has been 
 to explain, and explain briefly, to the exclusion, on 
 almost every occasion, of all discussion. Nor has he 
 deemed it of any importance to assign authorities. 
 In these matters all is common property, and, Apis 
 Matinee more modoque, he has gathered freely what- 
 ever seemed best calculated for the purpose.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE I. METRE I. 
 
 This first Ode was probably intended as a 
 dedicatory piece, accompanying the first three 
 books of the Carmina — Ode was not in use 
 for two or three centuries after Horace. The 
 subject, briefly, is — Every one has his ruling 
 passion, or favourite pursuit — the Author's is 
 poetry. 
 
 1. Maecenas.] Not Mecsenas, or Meccenas ; 
 the true orthography is ascertained by in- 
 scriptions on marbles, and the usage of Greek 
 writers. 
 
 Atavis. ~] Generally for — ancestors. Strictly, 
 Atavus is the fifth ancestor ; he stands in the 
 same relation to proavus, as proavus to pater. 
 The precise order, genealogically, appears in 
 Plautus, Pers. i. 2. 5. 
 Pater, avus, proavus, abavus, atavus, tritavus. 
 
 Edite regibus.] In Od. iii. 29. 1. Ho- 
 race describes Maecenas as Tyrrhena regum 
 progenies. The Tyrrhenians, or Etrurians, 
 consisted, like the Achseans and the Ionians, 
 of twelve distinct communities, confederated 
 for common purposes, with each its own 
 chief, called a Lucumo. Some ancestor of 
 Maecenas held this office, and the sycophancy 
 of dependents supplied the rest. It was, be- 
 sides, the current language of flattery to speak 
 of great men as kings. Horace, in his Satires, 
 furnishes proof of this, direct or indirect. But 
 Maecenas himself was a Roman knight, and 
 piqued himself on the refusal of senatorial 
 rank. For a considerable time he was prae- 
 fect, or military commander of the city ; and 
 
 a confidential minister of Augustus, appa- 
 rently, to the close of life — better known, 
 however, for his luxurious and convivial pro- 
 pensities, and love of literature, or at least of 
 literary men, than for his military or political 
 talents. He was the patron of Virgil, Horace, 
 and Propertius, and of others whose works 
 have perished, and their names with them. 
 
 2. Dulce decus meum,.] Dulce expresses his 
 pleasure in the friendship, and decus his sense 
 of the honour done him by his distinguished 
 
 friend. 
 
 3. Sunt quos.] Some are devoted to gym- 
 nastics, others to agriculture, commerce, lux- 
 ury, war, hunting, &c. 
 
 Curriculo.] The word is used loosely for 
 the car, the race, and the race-ground. Here 
 specifically for the race-ground — in stadio. 
 
 Olympicum.] The Olympic games were 
 celebrated at Elis, in the Peloponnesus, in 
 honour of Hercules, every fourth year, and 
 were attended by vast crowds from every part 
 of Greece and her colonies. The institution, 
 or re-institution of these games, B. C. TJ6, 
 constituted the most memorable epoch of the 
 Greeks. They dated by Olympiads. Vic- 
 tory in the chariot races was one of the first 
 objects of ambition among the higher ranks ; 
 it entitled the hero to personal distinctions 
 and political privileges, and was as much 
 coveted among Greeks, as a triumph among 
 Romans. 
 
 4. Meta.] A small pyramidal obelisk, 
 placed at the end of the stadion, opposite 
 the starting-post, for the purpose of indi-

 eating the point where the competitors were 
 to turn. The stadion was of an oblong form, 
 in length 600 feet. 
 
 Fervidis evitata rotis.'] The meta cleared 
 by the glowing wheels. Of course the turn 
 proved the driver's skill. The closer and 
 finer he could cut the turning-post, the less 
 ground he lost, while the shock of contact 
 with it, was ruin. Nestor's advice to his son, 
 Iliad \p, will be readily remembered. The 
 race was generally seven times round, though 
 Pindar speaks of doidtKayvajxTTTOv rspfia. 
 
 Palmaque nobilis.'] The palm, a branch of 
 the palm — an emblem of victory, used for 
 victory itself. 
 
 6. Terrarum dominos.] The elder critics 
 applied these words to the Romans — more 
 modern ones generally to the Deos. The 
 demands of the context conflict with the first, 
 and the construction of the sentence with the 
 last, to say nothing of the poverty of the ex- 
 pression when coupled with the Gods. All 
 interpreters regard the four lines as referring 
 to the same party, whereas it should seem 
 there were in the writer's view two parties 
 and two results. In this way — It is delight- 
 ful to many to have contended in the Olympic 
 games, where no actual glory was gained, 
 while victory lifts even kings and princes 
 (terrarum dominos) to the Gods. Horace had 
 probably Pindar's heroes in his thoughts. The 
 reader of Pindar will have little difficulty in 
 identifying the terrarum dominos with royal 
 and princely conquerors. Philip of Macedon 
 considered his Olympic victories among his 
 greatest felicities. 
 
 7- Hunc] Understand juvat, or evehit ad 
 Deos, or both. 
 
 Mobilhcm.] Expresses the caprice of the 
 people — the levity with which they were 
 swayed in the disposal of their suffrages. 
 
 Quiritium.] Romulus, after his death and 
 apotheosis, or reception among the Gods, was 
 called, for some reason not well understood, 
 Quirinus ; and the Romans themselves, pro- 
 bably from the same cause, whatever it was, 
 Quirites. Niebuhr suggests an old Sabine 
 town, on the Quirinal Hill, of the name of 
 Quirium. 
 
 8. Tergeminis honoribus.] The dative after 
 tollere, instead of ad tergeminoshonores. Ter- 
 geminus originally expressed " three at a 
 birth ;" but by the cotemporaries of Horace 
 was freely used in the sense, more frequently 
 demanded, of triple, but still confined to pre- 
 eminent cases. " The three highest offices of 
 the state" probably conveys the full meaning, 
 and points specifically to the curule offices of 
 iEdile, Praetor, and Consul. Had Horace 
 meant highest honours vaguely, he could rea- 
 dily have found a more general term. 
 
 9. Ilium.] Supply, again, juvat, or evehit 
 ad Deos, or both. 
 
 10. Quidquid.] All the corn grown in 
 Africa. 
 
 Libycis.] Of Africa, as the country most 
 productive of corn. Rome depended upon 
 importations mainly from Africa. 
 
 Verritur.] Literally — is swept up from 
 the open places (areis) where the corn was 
 threshed and winnowed. 
 
 11. Gaudentem.] The man who delights — 
 you would not remove — you would not with 
 the wealth of Attalus induce the man who 
 loves to cultivate his paternal acres, to quit 
 them for the perils of the sea. 
 
 Sarculo.] The sarculum is properly a hoe 
 or a rake. Sarrire, the root, is to clean the 
 ground, and clear it of weeds. Findere is 
 strictly applicable only to the plough or spade ; 
 but Pliny, lib. xviii. c. 19. speaks of the sar- 
 culum being used to turn up the soil, instead 
 of the plough or spade, on hills and stony 
 lands, where neither could be used with ad- 
 vantage. In these cases a tool of more weight, 
 probably, was employed than the common 
 sarculum. 
 
 12. Attalicis.] Attalus was the opulent 
 king of Pergamus, who bequeathed his wealth 
 and his sovereignty to the Romans. Flor. iii.12. 
 The epithet Attalicus became synonymous with 
 rich and splendid. Propertius, lib. ii. 13. 
 22. 
 
 13. Trabe Cyprid.] A vessel trading to 
 Cyprus. In Od. iii. 29. 60. Tynan and 
 Cyprian merchandize are classed together, as 
 equally distinguished.

 14. Myrtoum.~\ A part of the iEgean sea, 
 (the Greek Archipelago,) which stretches from 
 the south cape (Carysto) of Eubcea to Cape 
 Malea (S. Angelo) of the Morea — so named

 between Samos and Delos, or rather between 
 Samos and Patmos — the spot where Icarus fell. 
 
 Africum.'] W. S. W. wind, generally high 
 and stormy. Celer, praceps, protervus, pesti- 
 lens are the epithets elsewhere used by Ho- 
 race; and creberque procellis is Virgil's phrase. 
 
 16. Mercator.'] The merchant, while the 
 storm rages, alarmed, recalls with pleasure 
 the calm and security of his native fields ; but 
 once there, soon finds himself incapable of 
 submitting to poverty, and again risks the 
 dangers of the sea in quest of new wealth. 
 
 18. Pauperiem.] Neither pauperies nor 
 paupertas, unless coupled with dura or impor- 
 tuna, or some word of similar import, signifies, 
 in Horace, indigence or penury ; but rather 
 what is usually termed a bare competency — 
 too much for want, but not enough for luxury. 
 
 19. Massici.] A mountain of Campania, 
 still called Monte Massico, or Masso, and still 
 productive of wines of a superior quality. Vir- 
 gil assigned them the third rank — Setinum, or 
 Caecubum, having the first, and Falernum the 
 second. 
 
 Est qui — spernit.] Instead of, alius non 
 spernit. 
 
 20. Partem solido demere de die.] Spends 
 in luxurious indulgence those hours of the day 
 which others devote to business — entrenches 
 without scruple upon time destined for more 
 serious affairs. 
 
 22. Caput.] For fans. 
 
 Sacra.] Sacred to some rural nymph or 
 
 deity. Compare Od. iii. 13. where victims, 
 flowers, and wines are offered to the fountain 
 of Bandusia. 
 
 23. Lituo tuba p. s.] The sound of the 
 tuba mixed with (that of) the lituus — a Greek 
 construction. According to the Scholiast, the 
 lituus, curved at the end like the augur's wand 
 of the same name, gave a shrill sharp sound, 
 and was used exclusively by the cavalry. The 
 tuba, on the contrary, was straight, giving a 
 deep and hoarse sound, and was peculiar to the 
 infantry. 
 
 25. Detestata.] In a passive sense. Wars 
 detested by mothers, of course, as depriving 
 them of their sons. 
 
 Manet sub Jove frigido.] Pass the night 
 in the open air, in the snow, &c. Pernoctant 
 venatores in nive — in montibus uri (frost-bit- 
 ten) se patiuntur, &c. Cic. Tusc. ii. 
 
 Sub Jove.] Sub coelo — in the open air. Ju- 
 piter, as the deity of the air, or rather of the 
 atmosphere, is put for a'er repeatedly. 
 
 26. Tenerce. Young. 
 
 28. Rupit plagas.] Broke or rushed into 
 his nets. These boar-nets were hung across 
 narrow passes or openings in the forest, to- 
 wards which the animal rushed, when driven 
 by the hunters. Epod. ii. 32. 
 
 Teretes.] Strong nets. Strong, because 
 they were teretes, i. e. were made of cord 
 strongly and evenly twisted. 
 
 Marsus.] For Marsicus. The region occu- 
 pied by the Marsi, along the sides and vales 
 of the Apennines, was covered with forests 
 abounding in boars, and much frequented, as 
 the best hunting ground in Italy. 
 
 29. Edera.] The ivy, sacred to Bacchus, 
 was, equally with the laurel, the prize and 
 decoration of poets, especially, perhaps ex- 
 clusively, of those who sung the praises of

 Bacchus. But what poet, among the ancients, 
 has not done so ? 
 
 31. Leves.~\ Describes the agility of the 
 nymphs dancing with the satyrs. 
 
 32. Secernunt populo.~] The sense must be 
 interpreted in correspondence with Diis mis- 
 cent superis — lift me above the common lot, 
 and place me among the Gods. Od. iii. 1. 
 Odi profanum vulgus et arceo. 
 
 33. Euterpe — Polyhymnia.'] The names of 
 the Muses seem to be taken at random, with- 
 out confining them to particular functions, 
 just as musical instruments, wind and stringed, 
 are often named promiscuously. It is the 
 same with other poets. 
 
 34. Lesboum.'] Alcseus and Sappho, who 
 were both natives of the isle of Lesbos, are 
 here alluded to. 
 
 Barbiton.] The form of the instrument is 
 unknown. The Scholiast describes it as an 
 
 ivory lyre of seven strings. Theocritus speaks 
 of it as 7ro\vxopdo£. 
 
 35. Quod si, 8fc] The honours of the poet — 
 the rapt retirement of rural scenes — the propi- 
 tious favours of the Muses charm me, and 
 attach me to poetry ; wherefore, if you, my 
 friend and patron, enrol me in the list of 
 lyric poets, I shall be at the summit of feli- 
 city — I shall touch the stars — my renown 
 will reach the skies. 
 
 Lyricis vatibus.~] Among the Greeks the 
 chief, such as were universally recognised, 
 were Pindar, Alcaeus, Sappho, Stesichorus, 
 Ibycus, Bacchylides, Simonides, Alcman, and 
 Anacreon. Among the Romans, Horace him- 
 self was the first, and perhaps the only one, 
 unless Catullus be added. Quintilian, lib. x. 
 c. 1. is willing to add one Caesius Bassus, who, 
 however, he observes, was far surpassed by 
 the genius of some living poets. Who they 
 were, posterity has never heard.

 ODE II. METRE VI. 
 
 Addressed to Augustus, or rather Octavius, 
 on the occasion of some unusual storms and 
 floods. These commotions of the elements 
 were signs of the still existing wrath of Jupi- 
 ter, for the civil wars not yet fully atoned for ; 
 while the devastations of the Tiber were no- 
 thing but the result of a fond but unwarranted 
 subserviency to his wife's (Ilia's) resentments 
 for the death of Caesar. Jupiter must be 
 appeased, and who so proper to conciliate 
 him as Octavius, or Mercury, who had long 
 assumed the form of Octavius. A prayer that 
 he may still long abide with the Romans, en- 
 joy his honours and triumphs, and repel the 
 encroachments of the East, concludes this 
 piece of more than Oriental adulation. 
 
 The date may be fixed with some proba- 
 bility. Octavius is called, in the Ode, pater 
 atque princeps. The first is, of course, but 
 a courtly term of respect; for he was not 
 styled Pater Patriae till after Horace's death ;

 but the last was a title of honour, conferred 
 by special appointment, 726 U. C. His me- 
 morable triumphs, on the conclusion of the 
 civil wars, mentioned in the same stanza, 
 were celebrated only five months before the 
 title of Princeps was conferred. The very 
 coupling of these events, on such an occasion, 
 shews they were fresh in the writer's recol- 
 lection. Had the subsequent, and of course 
 superior, title of Augustus been in existence, 
 it would not have been here forgotten. That 
 title was not sanctioned till 727 U. C. Dion 
 Cassius refers both Princeps and Augustus to 
 the same year, but he is plainly mistaken. 
 The piece may be safely assigned to the early 
 part of 726 U. C. 
 
 1. Nivis.] The flood was the consequence 
 of a deep fall of snow. 
 
 3. Arces.] This word indicates the tops of 
 hills ; but the addition of sacra here points to 
 the capitol, or rather the cluster of temples 
 within the precincts of the capitol.

 NOTES. 
 
 4. Urbem.'] Rome. Town ; precisely as 
 we speak of London. 
 
 5. Gentes.] Only the people of Rome, hy- 
 perbolically. 
 
 Grave.] Dreadful. 
 
 6. Pyrrha.] The wife of Deucalion ; her 
 name is used instead of his, a woman's, the 
 better to express the intense alarm. Deuca- 
 lion's flood in Thessaly is sufficiently familiar 
 from Ovid's Met. i. 260, &c. 
 
 Nova monstra.] Monstrum is a phenome- 
 non — any thing out of the usual order of things, 
 or of common experience. Specifically, the 
 monstra are what follow. Pyrrha saw Pro- 
 teus taking his phocae (seals) to the tops of 
 the mountains — fishes on the trees— and deer 
 swimming in fields. 
 
 7. Proteus.] A sea-deity, the keeper of 
 Neptune's flock of seals. For his prophetic 
 powers, and the mode of forcing him to exer- 
 cise them, see Horn. Odyss. iv. 386, and Virg. 
 Georg. iv. 395. 
 
 10. Columbis.] Columba is the common 
 pigeon, which does not build in trees. The 
 wood-pigeon is palumbes ; but columba may 
 have been a generic term, embracing both. Be- 
 sides, Horace was not writing like a naturalist. 
 
 11. Superjecto.] Supply in prata, or some- 
 thing similar. The deer were swimming in 
 the waters covering the fields, which had 
 been their pastures. 
 
 13. Retortis.] The waters of the Tiber, 
 instead of entering the sea, seemed driven 
 back till they rose above its banks, and flooded 
 the town. The fact, of course, is, that the 
 bed of the river filled too rapidly, from the 
 higher grounds, to carry off the water as usual. 
 The stream did not recoil. 
 
 14. Litore Etrusco.] The mare Tyrrhenum, 
 or mare inferum : the sea which washes the 
 western shores of Italy, and into which the 
 Tiber flows. 
 
 15. Ire dejectum.] The inundation washed 
 
 the monumenta — the edifices of Numa — and 
 threatened their destruction. Ire dejectum is 
 not dejicere ; it is, to go, in order to destroy ; 
 but the completion of the intention may or 
 may not follow. It did not follow in this 
 case ; for " Numa regia et delubrum Vestte," 
 are expressly enumerated by Tacitus among 
 the ancient buildings burnt in the conflagra- 
 tion of Rome, A.D. 65. Tac. Ann. xv. 41. 
 
 Monumenta regis.] The edifices built by 
 Numa. These were the regia (domus) and 
 the templa, i. e. cedes Vesta. Nothing is recorded 
 of any other, and these were, it appears, both 
 within the same small enclosure. 
 
 Hie locus exiguus, qui sustinet atria Vesta 
 Tunc erat intonsi regia magna Numa. 
 
 Ovid. Fast. vi. 263. 
 
 16. Templaque Vesta.] Monumenta is a 
 generic term, and includes Templa Vesta. If 
 the expressions are to be closely pressed — 
 they may be construed — " The monuments of 
 the king, and (especially) the temple of Vesta" 
 — particularised as being the more venerable. 
 
 17. Ilia.] Ilia, or Rhaea Silvia, the mother 
 of Romulus. She was descended from lulus, 
 or Ascanius, iEneas's son, from whom also the 
 family of Julius Caesar traced their descent. 
 
 Nimium.] Must be construed with se ulto- 
 rem, for, though Ilia stimulates, it is the Tiber 
 which does the mischief. The word uaorius 
 implies an excess in his devotion to his wife's 
 commands. 
 
 Querenti.] Complaining of the assassina- 
 tion of her blood-relation, Julius Caesar. Ilia 
 had been thrown by her persecutors into the 
 Anio, and was the wife of that river, which 
 flows into the Tiber a few miles above Rome, 
 and after its junction is of course identified 
 with the Tiber. The Tiber is therefore repre- 
 sented as her husband, and the executor of 
 her vengeance. 
 
 18. Vagus.] Going out of its channel — 
 overflowing its banks.

 NOTES. 
 
 Sinistra ripd.~\ Except the part on the Ja- 
 niculum, the whole of Rome was built on the 
 left bank of the river. The low grounds 
 between the Aventine and Palatine hills were 
 most exposed to inundations. The right and 
 left bank of a river apply to the downward 
 direction of the stream. 
 
 19. Jove non probante.'] Disapproving of 
 the unauthorized act of the Tiber. Jupiter 
 himself had hurled his thunders at the capitol, 
 but only to warn — to prompt the Romans to 
 atonement for the crimes of civil war — not, 
 like the Tiber, the blind agent of another, and 
 with intent to destroy. 
 
 22. Persa.] The Parthians. 
 
 Perirent.] For perituri fuissent. 
 
 24. Rara juventus.] Our youth, our chil- 
 dren — the rising generation — few in number, 
 from the destruction of the present, will learn 
 from these dreaded signs of Jupiter's wrath, 
 that the Romans sharpened their swords 
 against each other, instead of avenging, as 
 they ought to have done, the blow inflicted on 
 them by the Parthians. The defeat of Crassus 
 left a deep and lasting impression upon the 
 Romans. Horace makes frequent allusion to 
 the event. 
 
 26. Rebus.] Dative, instead of ad res, — 
 whom should the people invoke to protect the 
 affairs of the falling or sinking empire 1 
 
 28. Carmina.] Precatory addresses chanted. 
 
 Vestam.] Julius Caesar, as Pontifex Max- 
 imus, was officially and closely connected with 
 the worship of Vesta. His assassination was 
 
 8 
 
 so much the more calculated to alienate the 
 goddess. 
 
 29. Scelus.] Crimes committed by the 
 civil wars. 
 
 31. Nube candentes humeros amictus.] Veiled 
 with a brilliant cloud. The bright colour is 
 propitious, the dark the contrary. 
 
 Candentes.] The effect of the resplendent 
 cloud. Usually, when gods or men are enve- 
 loped in clouds, it is for the purpose of not 
 being seen ; but then, the cloud is equally 
 invisible. 
 
 32. Augur.] Apollo especially presided 
 over auguries, and was therefore the best qua- 
 lified to assign the appropriate expiation. 
 
 33. Sive tu mavis.] Or if you would rather 
 — supply venias, do you come to expiate, &c. 
 
 Erycina.] From Eryx, a mountain in Si- 
 cily. A temple was dedicated at Rome, extra 
 portam Collinam, expressly to Venus Erycina. 
 Venus is here invoked as the progenetrix of 
 Julius Caesar. 
 
 35. Neglecttim.] Supply a te — long, ap- 
 parently, abandoned to mutual destruction by 
 you (Mars). 
 
 36. Auctor.] Mars, the father of Romulus, 
 and so the founder of the Roman race. 
 
 37- Heu ! nimis longo satiate ludo.] Wea- 
 ried at last with your sport, which has lasted, 
 alas ! too long. The ludus, or game of Mars, 
 is, of course, war. 
 
 38. Clamor.] The battle-shout. 
 Leves.] Polished helms, or well-worn. 
 
 39. Marsi peditis.] Often quoted as the

 Juvenem.~\ Octavius Caesar was, at least, 
 thirty-six years old ; but the term was com- 
 plimentary : Apollo, Mercury, Bacchus, are 
 always juvenes.

 vius at first professed to take arms and office. 
 
 45. Serus.] Long may it be before you re- 
 turn to the skies.

 occupied the same regions. Their names are 
 used promiscuously, as commutable terms, by 
 the poet.

 ODE III. METRE II. 
 
 .Virgil embarked 735 U. C. for Athens, to 
 complete and correct his great national poem, 
 the JEneid ; but, doubtless, the poem may have 
 been written on the occasion of some earlier 
 voyage. Horace addresses the ship with 
 an earnest invocation for the safety of his 
 friend, and breaks into angry vituperations 
 against the man whose daring temerity first 
 tempted the deep — and all who have attempted 
 to pass the grand barriers of nature. 
 
 1. Sic te, fyc] So may the gods direct 
 your course in all future time, I pray, as you 
 land Virgil in safety on the shores of Attica, 
 O ship, who (debes) art pledged thither to 
 conduct my friend, entrusted to your charge. 
 
 Potens Cypri.] Mistress or queen of Cy- 
 prus. So Neptune, Od. i. 5. 15. is maris po- 
 tens, master or lord of the sea ; and, Carm. 
 Saec. Diana, potens sylvarum. Cyprus was the 
 chief seat of her worship, and her favourite 
 residence. 
 
 2. Fratres Helena.] Castor and Pollux — 
 the Dioscuri, i. e. sons of Jupiter. The two 
 conspicuous stars in the third sign of the 
 zodiac — the Gemini. 
 
 3. Ventorumque pater.] TEolus, who con- 
 trolled the winds within his cave, in one of the 
 Vulcanian or the Lipari islands, not far from 
 the north coast of Sicily. No winds could 
 quit the cave without the sanction of ^Eolus.

 Prceter Iapyga.~\ W. N. W. wind, the most 
 direct wind from the shores of Apulia — from 
 Brundusium, the common point of departure in 
 Italy, to the ports of Greece. 
 
 5. Creditum.] Credere, debere, reddere, are 
 all terms in perfect correspondence with each 
 other. 
 
 6. Finibus Atticis.~\ Depending upon red- 
 das, apparently, though, elliptically, the words 
 may be referred to creditum. 
 
 Atticis.'] Attica, a region of Greece, of 
 which Athens was the capital. 
 
 8. Animce dimidium mete.] In Od. ii. 17. 
 5. Horace speaks of Maecenas as partem ani- 
 mce. 
 
 9. Robur.'] Oak strictly ; the hardest oak 
 — heart of oak. The word is in frequent use 
 for the most impenetrable substance. jEs tri- 
 plex, a triple plate of brass, is added, to give 
 increased energy to the expression. 
 
 Illi circa pectus.] i. e. around the heart 
 (illius) of that man, who first, &c. Primus 
 meaning neither Tiphys, nor Janus, nor 
 Jason specifically, but whoever he or they 
 might be who first floated a vessel for navi- 
 gation. 
 
 12. Prcecipitem.] Sweeping. Od. i. 1. 15. 
 
 14. Hyadas.] The cluster of small stars 
 in the head of Taurus. Ovid must have de- 
 rived the word from ve iv, to rain. 
 Navita quos Hyadas Graius ab imbre vocat. 
 Fast. v. 1G5. 
 Both the rising and the setting of these stars 
 were rainy seasons. The rising and the set- 
 ting of stars, with the poets, are both referable 
 to the sun's rising. The Hyades rose, ac- 
 cording to Ovid, vi. Cal. Jun. i. e. the 27th 
 
 May, and the setting, of course, six months 
 after. 
 
 Tristes.] Expressive of the effect of rains — 
 miserable weather. 
 
 Noti.] Notus or notos, from votiq, mois- 
 ture — a wet wind. Notus is the Latin Auster, 
 south-wind. 
 
 15. Quo non arbiter Hadrice.] Than which 
 Notus, there is no greater ruler — no wind which 
 exercises a more powerful dominion over the 
 Adriatic. When the Notus subsides, the 
 Adriatic calms again ; and so the Notus may 
 be said to appease the waters as well as to 
 rouse them. Od. iv. 14. 21. 
 
 Hadrice.] The Gulf of Venice ; but as 
 often still called the Adriatic, unaspirated. 
 
 17- Quem mortis gradum.] Scil. in via ad 
 Orcum. What kind of death could he have 
 dreaded, who beheld, &c. He must have been 
 inaccessible — insensible to the feelings of 
 fear. 
 
 18. Rectis oculis, fy c] Who looked with eyes 
 direct — i. e. which did not shrink from the 
 fearful sights before him. Rectis was Bentley's 
 happy suggestion, now generally recognized, 
 if not as perfectly sound, at least as more ap- 
 propriate than siccis, the common reading. 
 Fear, except in very feeble and delicate na- 
 tures, does not readily draw tears. 
 
 18. Monstra natantia.] Large fishes, not 
 usually seen near populous shores. 
 
 20. Infames — alta Ceraunia?] Now Cape 
 della Lingueta, lofty rocks on the coast of Epi- 
 rus, projecting far into the sea, and perilous in 
 the navigation from Italy to Greece. Cerau- 
 nia (/et pavvia, scil. aicpa) are " heights struck 
 by lightning." Infames, from the frequency 
 of wrecks ; but doubtless Horace alludes to 
 Octavius's narrow escape off these rocks, after 
 the battle of Actium.

 22. Prudens.'] With direct purpose — de- 
 signedly. 
 
 Dissociabili.'] In vain did the deity pur- 
 posely separate different lands from each 
 other, by an ocean, which must, apparently, 
 preclude all intercourse. Dissociabilis is, by 
 analogy of form, what is not unitable — what 
 cannot or ought not to be conjoined ; but 
 words of this class, words terminating in 
 bills, have often, from convenience or negli- 
 gence, an active as well as a passive sense. 
 Bentley's dlssoclablles makes a more obvious 
 construction, but not one so likely to have 
 been Horace's own, as the common reading. 
 
 23. Impice.] As violating the obvious in- 
 tentions of the Deity. 
 
 24. Non tangenda.] What ought never to 
 have been attempted. 
 
 25. Audax omnia perpeti.] Greek idiom 
 for ad omnia perpetlenda — ready to dare or 
 bear any thing in the pursuit of a desirable 
 object. 
 
 27. Iapeti genus.] Prometheus — genus for 
 films. 
 
 28. Ignem — gentibus intulit.] Gave to the 
 world — to his creation of clay. 
 
 Fraude mala.] Fatal — productive of evils 
 to men. 
 
 29. Post ignem — subductum.] The fire 
 which Prometheus stole from the sun, to 
 animate his creation, by indiscreet application 
 
 was eventually the cause of disease. Fire is the 
 chief agent in a variety of arts destructive to 
 health ; especially cookery in its excesses.

 effect of fevers.

 but new, as before unknown.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE IV. METRE XII. 
 
 The return of Spring prompts the poet to 
 bid his friend Sextius — mindful of the brevity 
 of life — seize its blessings, and enjoy them 
 while they are within his reach. Od. iv. T. 
 and 12. are both descriptive of the same sea- 
 son, and together shew the fertility of his 
 resources in the description of nature. Com- 
 pare Virg. Georg. ii. 324, &c. 
 
 1. Solvitur acris hiems.] Sharp winter 
 yields to the welcome succession of spring. 
 
 1. Favoni.'] Synonymous with the zephyr, 
 the wind most prevalent in Spring. From 
 
 favere, or fovere — it expresses the blandness 
 and balminess of the air. 
 
 2. Trahuntque — -machina.] Machines by 
 which vessels were taken down from the dry 
 docks to the water. Not rollers, for trahunt 
 does not express their action ; but ropes, pro- 
 bably, drawn round capstans. Except on 
 public exigencies, there was but little navi- 
 gation in the winter. 
 
 3. Ac neque jam stabulis, Sfc] Flocks no 
 longer love their folds, nor the farmer his 
 fire-side ; nor are the meadows any more 
 white with hoar-frost, or frozen dew. 
 
 5. Cytherea — Venus.'] Of Cythera now Ce- 
 rigo — a small island, not far from the southern 
 shores of Peloponnesus — one of the favorite 
 seats of Venus. 
 
 Imminente Lund.] In the moon-light — 
 not on any particular day of festivity — not 
 the Calends either of March or of April. 
 
 6. Junctceque Nymphis, fyc] Joined by 
 their hands in dancing. 
 
 'A\\r]\(i)v iiri Kap7T(^ ^sipae. ix ovffat ' 
 Horn. H. in Apoll. 194. 
 
 Decentes.] Expressive of graceful action — 
 not so much elegant or beautiful in form or 
 feature, as in their movements. 
 
 7. Altemo terram, <yc] Shake the ground 
 with alternate foot — dance a measure— dance 
 to a tune. 
 
 Dum graves.] Venus is thus animating all 
 nature, while Vulcan, her husband, on his 
 part, is actively resuming his labours, kindling 
 the fires (urit officinas) at which his Cyclopes 
 forge the bolts for which Jupiter has frequent 
 occasion in the Spring. 
 
 9. Nitidum.] Smooth and shining with 
 oils or unguents — profusely used by the Ro- 
 mans. 
 
 Caput impedire myrto.] The brows were 
 bound with chaplets of myrtle and flowers, 
 for shade, or for ornament, or for both pur- 
 poses. 
 
 10. Flore quern, §c] With the flowers 
 which the soil, freed from the frost, produces 
 — the first spring-flowers. 
 
 11. Fauno.] The festival of Faunus was 
 celebrated on the Ides, or 13th of February. 
 In the more favoured and sheltered spots of 
 Italy there is little frost after the middle of 
 February. But probably the statute festival 
 is not to be exclusively here understood. 
 
 12. Seu poscat agna, $c.] The older 
 editions all read agnam and hcedum. The

 Et domus exilis Plutonia ; quo simul meaiis,

 NOTES. 
 
 expression is elliptical with either reading. 
 In the one case must be supplied, te immolate, 
 and in the other, sibi immolari. The correct 
 text, probably, is agnam — luedo, suggested by 
 the double reading, and confirmed by the 
 difference of construction in the two clauses. 
 The ellipsis will be filled up thus : Seu poscat 
 te agJiam sibi immolare, sive malit licedo sibi 
 immolari. 
 
 14. beate Sexti.] This is the season of 
 enjoyment; life is short; death strikes rich 
 and poor ; seize therefore the opportunity be- 
 fore you. A Lucius Sextius, distinguished 
 for his fidelity to Brutus, was honoured with 
 the Consulate by Augustus, who abdicated 
 the office, expressly, in his favour, 731 U. C. 
 This may be the person whom Horace ad- 
 dresses, and he may call him beatus, on ac- 
 count of his reconciliation with the Emperor, 
 and on the ground of this very appointment. 
 Sextius was thus at the height of felicity, and 
 might reasonably doubt its continuance. 
 
 15. Vita summa brevis.~\ The sum, or 
 amount of life is short at the longest. 
 
 Spem vetat, fyc.] Forbids us to entertain 
 distant hopes — to enter upon schemes which 
 require time to execute. 
 
 16. Jam te premet nox.] Nox for death, 
 
 as Od. xxii. of this book — Omnes una manet 
 nox. Premet for opprimet — will soon sur- 
 prise — will soon overtake you. 
 
 Fabulaque Manes.~\ And the Manes, of 
 which so many idle tales are told - for fabu- 
 losi. 
 
 17- Domus exilis Plutonia.'] The house 
 of Pluto, filled with bodiless, shadowy forms, 
 which take up little space. Exilis — evanes- 
 cent, for the root is probably exire. 
 
 Quo simul medris.~\ For meaveris. To 
 which house of Pluto, when you shall once 
 have passed, &c. 
 
 18. Nee regna vini.'] The sovereignty of 
 the wine — the office of chairman at wine- 
 parties. Allusions to this practice of deciding 
 by tali or by dice are frequent. Quern Venus 
 arbitrum dicet bibendi. Od. ii. 7- 25. The 
 highest cast was called Venus, or Jactus Ve- 
 nereus, or Basiliscus. 
 
 Sortiere talis.] Sortiri talis may mean to 
 appoint to the office by the cast of tali, i. e. 
 pastern-bones, or cockalls ; or to acquire it by 
 the same means. The latter is doubtless the 
 sense meant to be conveyed here — you will 
 never have the luck to be chairman of a sym- 
 posium again — nor admire the delicate Lyci- 
 das, &c.

 Quis multa gracilis te puer in rosa 
 
 Quis adolescens exilis, 
 
 NOTES. 
 
 ODE V. METRE IV. 
 
 By her lures, Pyrrha had attracted a new 
 admirer, and the poet affecting to deplore the 
 too certain fate which awaited the youth, 
 upbraids the capricious girl for her perfidy 
 towards himself. He compares the new fa- 
 vourite to a sailor over whom a furious tem- 
 
 pest is impending, and himself to another 
 who, after escaping shipwreck, had gratefully 
 performed his vows to Neptune. 
 
 1. Quis multd gracilis, fyc.] What slender 
 youth is that — what slip of a boy, all roses 
 and perfumes, who is constantly at your side 
 (urget) in that sweet grotto ? 
 
 In rosd-] Will mean, not reclining upon

 roses, but rosis coronatus, with wreaths of 
 roses in his curls. Cicero, de Fin. ii. 20. has 
 potare in rosd ; and again, Tusc. v. 26. esse in 
 rosd — precisely parallel phrases. 
 
 4. Cui flavam, Sfc] For whom — for whose 
 sake — to please whom is it that you bind your 
 auburn tresses, &c. 
 
 5. Simplex munditiis ?] With that beau- 
 tiful simplicity of dress — for he cannot help 
 complimenting her. Yet, after all, the phrase 
 may refer solely to the style in which she 
 bound up her hair — without elaboration or 
 ornament. 
 
 Heu, quoties fidem.~\ Supply mutatam — 
 how often will he lament your broken vows — 
 your perfidy ! 
 
 6. Mutatosque.~\ The changed, or alienated 
 Gods — Cupid and Venus, who laugh at lovers' 
 vows, and sanction your caprices. 
 
 7- Nigris ventis.] Winds are called black 
 in an active sense, as blackening the air, 
 just as some of them, the Notus especially, 
 are called white, as dispersing the clouds and 
 
 brightening the skies. Candidi Favonii, Od. 
 iii. 7- 1. 
 
 8. Insolens.] Yet unacquainted with your 
 treacheries. 
 
 9. Aured.~\ Enchanting as a being of the 
 golden age — fond and faithful. 
 
 10. Semper vacuam.] Wholly detached 
 from others, and solely occupied with him. 
 
 Semper amabilem.'] Adorable — or perhaps, 
 in an active sense, ever fond of him — which 
 contrasts the sense well with vacuam. The En- 
 glish word amiable belongs to calmer feelings. 
 
 12. Fallacis.] Treacherous — not to be 
 trusted to. 
 
 Miseri quibus, Sfc] Miserable are those 
 to whom you appear so beautiful — charming 
 while untried. 
 
 13. Me tabula sacer, Sfc] The sacred 
 walls of Neptune's shrine, by the votive tablet, 
 shews that I, like a shipwrecked mariner 
 rescued from destruction, have suspended, in 
 token of my gratitude, my dripping garments 
 to the master of the waves.

 ODE VI. METRE III. 
 
 Horace professes himself quite unequal to 
 the due celebration of Agrippa's victories and 
 renown. None but Varius is fit for the task. 
 
 1. Scriberis Vario, fyc] Brave as you are, 
 and a victor, you, Agrippa, must be described 
 
 or sung by Varius — a bird of Homeric song — 
 a poet who writes like Homer. 
 
 Vario.] Varius was an epic poet of 
 considerable celebrity in his time. Horace, 
 in Sat. i. 10. 81. names him in the list of 
 the select, whom he aspired to please ; and in 
 the Ep. ad Pisones, couples him with Virgil.

 Virgil also eulogises him in Ec. ix. 35 ; and 
 Quintilian says his Thyestes would bear com- 
 parison with any of the Greek Tragedies. 
 Nothing has survived but a few lines, pre- 
 served in Macrobius. 
 
 2. Mceonii.] Maeonia, a district of Asia 
 Minor, the metropolis of which was Smyrna, 
 one of the places which claimed the honour 
 of Homer's birth. 
 
 Aliti.] A dative in agreement with 
 Vario. Ales, used absolutely for poet, as 
 here, is not common. Horace describes 
 Pindar Cycnus Dircaus, Od. iv. 2. 25. ; and 
 Theocritus designates poets generally opviOag 
 fxovcrutv. 
 
 3. Quam rem cumque.~] Supply scribenti, 
 or canenti, in agreement with Vario — aliti. 
 
 Navibus aut equis.] By sea and land. 
 
 5. Agrippa.] By far the most conspicuous 
 commander in the armies of Augustus. He 
 defeated the lieutenants of the younger Pompey 
 in one naval engagement, and that chief him- 
 self in a second ; and contributed mainly to 
 the success of the decisive battle of Actium. 
 His services were equally effective in the ca- 
 binet. After the death of Marcellus, he was 
 honoured with the hand of the widow — the 
 emperor's daughter. 
 
 Nos, Agrippa, neque licec, Sfc] The con- 
 struction is — nos (ego) tenues conamur hcec 
 dicere grandia, &c. Grandia applying equally 
 to the actions of Agrippa — the ' wrath of 
 Pelcus' son' — the roamings of Ulysses, and 
 the sorrows of the house of Pelops. The 
 sense is — I should as soon think of writing 
 an Iliad or an Odyssey, or, like Varius, the 
 tragedy of Thyestes, as attempt to describe 
 these mighty deeds of yours, Agrippa. 
 
 Gravem.] From the consequences of 
 Achilles' anger to the Greek army. 
 
 6. Pelidce stomachum.] The subject of the 
 Iliad. Stomachum for anger. In the physi- 
 ology of the ancients, the different viscera 
 
 et quicquid milites, te impe- 
 rante, fortiter egerunt navibus 
 aut equis. Nos, 6 Agrippa, nee

 were regarded as seats of the passions, 
 was assigned to the stomach, as here. 
 
 7- Cursus dup. — Ulixei.] The subject of 
 the Odyssey. 
 
 Duplicis.] Duplex is opposed to simplex, 
 (sine-plex), just as dnrXovg to cnrXovg, — or 
 the double-faced and double-tongued, to the 
 frank and open, — to the simple-minded. 
 Homer represents Ulysses as a man fertile of 
 expedient, and not always scrupulous in the 
 use of means to accomplish hi* object ; but 
 not, as after-poets almost universally did, — a 
 swindler, a bully, and a coward. 
 
 Ulixei.] Ulixeus is the old form for 
 Ulysses, as Achilleus for Achilles. 
 
 8. Scevam Pelopis domum.] A family me- 
 morable for its homicides. CEnomaus was 
 murdered by his son-in-law, Pelops — the chil- 
 dren of Thyestes by their uncle, Atreus — 
 Atreus by iEgesthus — Agamemnon by Cly- 
 temnestra — Clytemnestra and iEgesthus by 
 Orestes her son, who was himself driven to 
 madness by his mother's avenging Furice. 
 
 9. Dum pudor.] Whilst — so long as — or 
 because pudor — a distrust of my own abilities 
 forbids, &c. 
 
 10. Imbellisque lyree.] Unsuitable for war 
 and violence — calculated rather for the sports 
 of peace — for topics of conviviality and amuse- 
 ment. 
 
 13. Quis — digne scripserit?] Who could 
 worthily have described the heroes of the 
 Iliad ? The implication is sufficiently ob- 
 vious. None but Homer ; and who can cele- 
 brate your own deeds, but Varius ? 
 
 14. Pulv. Troio nigrum.] Blackened with 
 dust. 
 
 15. Merionem.] The companion and driver 
 of Idomeneus, the chief of the Cretans. 
 
 15. Tydiden.] Diomedes, the brave son of 
 his brave father, Tydeus. 
 
 17- Nos convivia, nos, Sfc] I sing of 
 nothing but bacchanalian scenes, or if of bat-

 ties, only the skirmishes of the girls, with

 upon the youngsters, who take more liberties 
 than are always agreeable to them. These 
 coarse and unseemly manners appear not to 
 have shocked the taste of the Romans, in 
 ranks of life certainly not among the lowest. 
 Ovid is good authority, and Horace is. not, 
 apparently, alluding to disreputable persons. 
 18. Strictis — unguibus.'] Strictis is Bent- 
 
 ley's irrefragable correction. Ovid employs 
 nearly the same phrase, and Statius, more 
 likely to have played the imitator, precisely 
 the same. The old reading, sectis, is quite 
 incompatible with acrium. 
 
 19. Vacui, sive quid urimur, fyc] In love, 
 or out of it — with no intrigue upon my hands, 
 or kindling with a new flame — with my usual 
 levity. It is the heartless tone of tin homvie a 
 bonnes fortunes.

 ODE VII. METRE XIII. 
 
 If these lines be taken as written consecu- 
 tively, and are not in reality fragments of two 
 distinct pieces, Plancus must be supposed to 
 have been in some perplexity, and out of 
 spirits — doubtful whether he should remain 
 with the army, or go to his country residence 
 at Tibur. Horace recommends that spot as 
 the most beautiful poet ever celebrated. At 
 all events, whether in camp or at Tibur, in- 
 stead of brooding over his vexations, he 
 should drown them, like a sound disciple of 
 Epicurus, in generous wine — as Teucer did, 
 who, though an exile and baffled in his search 
 for Cyprus, cracked a bottle with his friends, 
 reminding them they had been in a worse 
 plight, and cheering them with the hope of 
 better luck the next day. 
 
 1. Claram Rhodon.] A small island, still 
 bearing the same name, opposite the south-west 
 angle of Asia Minor. Commerce, the arts, 
 and philosophy, flourished alike at Rhodes. 
 Poets, geographers, and historians, vie with 
 each other in celebrating its cities and ports, 
 its statues and pictures — the salubrity of the 
 air, and the cultivation of the natives. 
 
 Mitylenen.] The chief town of Lesbos, an 
 island opposite the jEolic portion of the coast 
 
 of Asia Minor. The birth-place of Alcaeus and 
 Sappho. The beauty of the town is highly 
 eulogized by Cicero, in Orat. c. Rullum c. 16. 
 Vitruvius, though he commends the archi- 
 tecture of the town, complains that the site 
 was ill-chosen. With an east wind, he says, 
 the inhabitants are all ill — with a west wind 
 they have all coughs ; but a north wind sets 
 all to rights again. Vit i. 6. 
 
 2. Epheson.] A town of Ionia, on the 
 Asiatic coast, near the mouth of the Cayster 
 — chiefly memorable for its magnificent tem- 
 ple, dedicated to Diana. 
 
 Bimarisve Corinthi.'] Between two seas — 
 the Ionic and the iEgean, faQaXcuraog, a/i- 
 (piBaXaacrog. Corinth was built upon the 
 isthmus which connects the Peloponnesus with 
 northern Greece — proverbial for its luxury 
 and opulence. Florus calls it Grcecice deems. 
 
 3. Baccho Thebas — insignes.] Thebes, 
 famous for the birth, education, and worship 
 of Bacchus. 
 
 Apolline Deiphos.] For the temple and 
 oracle of Apollo. 
 
 4. Thessala Tempe.] The valley between 
 the mountains of Olympus and Ossa. The 
 Peneus flows through it. See Ovid's descrip- 
 tion, Met. i. 569. ; but iElian furnishes a 
 fuller account. V. H. iii. 1.

 giens patrem atque Salamina, 
 
 5. Intactce Palladis.] The maiden God- 
 dess. 
 
 Palladis arces.~\ Athens. 
 
 6. Carmine perpetuo.] Long and endless. 
 The phrase harmonizes with quibus unum 
 opus — who wrote of nothing else — who spent 
 their lives in panegyrising Athens. 
 
 7- Indeque decerptam.] A chaplet of olive, 
 gathered from thence, i. e. from celebrating 
 that glorious city. 
 
 Fronti praeponere olivam.~\ To put round — 
 to bind round their own brow. 
 
 Olivam.'] The olive is an emblem of 
 Minerva, as laurel of Apollo, ivy of Bacchus, 
 myrtle of Venus, poplar of Hercules, &c. 
 
 8. Plurimus.] Many a poet, in honour of 
 Juno, &c. 
 
 9. Aptum — equis Argos.] 'linrofioTov, 
 'nnroTp6<pov — the constant epithets in Homer. 
 Argos was one of the favourite seats of Juno. 
 "Rpag 8&/j,a 8reo7rpnrsg. Pind. Nem. i. 8. 
 
 Ditesque Myccenas.] UoXvxpvvovg. Homer. 
 
 10. Patiens.] In reference to the severity 
 of a Spartan education. In Ep. i. 7- 40. 
 the same epithet is applied to Ulysses, allud- 
 ing to his toils and troubles, and endurance 
 of them. 
 
 11. Larissce.] The Larissa of Thessaly, 
 near to Phthia, the country of Achilles, who 
 is accordingly often designated by the term 
 Larissceus. 
 
 Percussit.] Struck, or charmed him. 
 
 12. Domus AlbunecB.] A spring called 
 Albunea — the residence or home of the 
 nymph of the same name, near the town of 
 Tibur (Tivoli). From this spring flows a 
 little brook, called Albula, which falls into 
 the Anio (Tiverone). 
 
 Resonantis.] The gentle murmur of the 
 
 spring is* poetically ascribed to the nymph 
 herself. 
 
 13. Praeceps Anio.] The Anio, a little 
 below Tibur, (about eighteen miles from 
 Rome) has a considerable fall, (Cascata), an 
 object of interest with travellers, though 
 diminished in importance, within these few 
 years, by a disruption of the rocks over which 
 the cascade fell. 
 
 Tiburni lucus.] Woods in the neighbour- 
 hood of Tibur, designated from the name of 
 the founder of the town, Tiburnus, who was 
 said to be a son of Amphiaraus, one of the 
 " Seven" who fell before Thebes. 
 
 Uda — i. e. irrigua.] Orchards well watered 
 by the streams. 
 
 17- Sapiens.] Wisely — or like a philoso- 
 pher — a disciple of the school of Epicurus. 
 
 19. Molli.] Old wine. Lene in the same 
 sense. Mellowed by age — deprived of its 
 heat and heating qualities. 
 
 Plancus.] L. Munatius Plancus was consul 
 with Lepidus, 712, U. C. the year after the 
 assassination of Caesar ; and was successively 
 connected with the factions of Antony and 
 Augustus. Some of his own letters are ex- 
 tant, and coupled with Cicero's Ep. ad 
 diversos, lib. x. 
 
 20. Te castra tenent.] The date of the 
 poem cannot be ascertained ; but castra 
 tenent indicates he was engaged in military 
 duties. 
 
 Tenebit.] The future — in plain contradis- 
 tinction to castra tenent. 
 
 21. Tui.] Either Plancus had a villa at 
 Tibur, or the place was very agreeable to 
 him. 
 
 Teucer.] Teucer and Ajax were sons of 
 Telamon, king of Salamis, a small island op-

 NOTES. 
 
 posite the port of Athens. They were per- 
 mitted to go to Troy, solely on the condition 
 that one should not return home without the 
 other. Ajax, in a fit of madness, killed him- 
 self, and Teucer, now an exile, went, on the 
 faith of an oracle, in search of Cyprus, where 
 he was to found a new Salamis. 
 
 22. Uda Lyeso tempora.'] Brows wetted 
 with wine — meaning after " moistening his 
 clay," and cheering his friends with wine, &c. 
 
 24. Tristes.'] On account of their exile. 
 
 25. Quo nos cumque.] This speech of 
 Teucer was, probably, a passage from some 
 popular drama, which the poet accommodated 
 to his own purpose. A tragedy, of the name 
 of Teucer, by Pacuvius, is mentioned by 
 Cicero, de Orat. i. 58. 
 
 Melior.] Kinder than my father. 
 
 28. Certus.] Infallible. 
 
 29. Ambiguam.] Will not mean a second 
 Salamis, nor that the old Salamis will be ob- 
 
 scured by the new. The word retains its 
 universal meaning of doubt. It is pretty ob- 
 viously used in contrast with certus. The 
 ambiguity refers specifically to the " where- 
 about" of Cyprus. The oracle told Teucer he 
 was to build a new Salamis in Cyprus, but 
 did not tell him where Cyprus was to be 
 found. Compare Euripides, Hel. 148. where 
 Teucer, in his quest of Cyprus, had arrived 
 at an island in the Nile to consult Theonoe 
 for directions where to find Cyprus, the place 
 where he was to build a new town, and call 
 it Salamis, after his native city. 
 
 27. Auspice.] His auspices — for he had the 
 promise of Apollo. 
 
 30. Pejoraque passi.] Virgil has the same 
 phrase, JEn. i, 203. 
 
 32. Cras ingens iterab.] He had landed 
 on some shore, apparently to sacrifice to Her- 
 cules. In line 24, he is represented crowned 
 with a wreath of poplar.

 The horses of Transalpine Gaul were among 
 the best for military services. From Tacitus, 
 Ann. ii. 5., it appears Gaul supplied the 
 Roman cavalry with horses. 
 
 Lupatis frenis.'] Bridles with sharp bits — 
 armed with points, or teeth, unevenly, like a 
 wolf's jaw.

 Olivum.'] The oil with which the wrestler

 longer show discolorations — bruised by blows, 
 &c. — not by the mere weight of the quoit, or 
 the exertion of his strength.

 to be, for the quoit and the spear hurled by 
 him, and (expedito) hurled with ease beyond 
 the mark, &c. 
 
 13. Quid latet.] Why is he never at his 
 wonted haunts, but lurking with you — like 
 Achilles among the women, shut up by his 
 mother, lest the sight of arms should impel 
 him to rush to the scene of battle. Statius in 
 Achill. and Bion. Id. vi.

 cause of frequent funera.

 Lycias catervas.] The Lycians, commanded 
 by Sarpedon and Glaucus, were in alliance 
 with the Trojans.

 ODE IX. METRE VIII. 
 
 To enjoy the present — to let the morrow 
 take care for itself — to avoid solicitudes, and 
 leave the rest to the Gods, are favourite topics 
 with Horace, and are here coupled with the 
 wisdom of people making themselves com- 
 fortable on a miserable winter's day. Thali- 
 archus, a Greek compound for " chairman of 
 a feast," is apparently an assumed name, and 
 the whole piece, probably, but an imitation of 
 Alcaeus. The following remnant of the origi- 
 nal has been preserved in Athenaeus x. 8.

 anxious about the morrow. Possibly the poet 
 may be forbidding applications to the numeri 
 Babylonii. Od. xi. 1. of this book.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE X. METRE VI. 
 
 This Hymn to Mercury is said by the 
 scholiast, Porphyrion, to be a translation from 
 Alcaeus. It is wholly occupied, as hymns of 
 the kind usually were, with the qualities, 
 offices, and achievements of the God. 
 
 1. Nepos Atlantis.'] Son of Jupiter by 
 Maia, one of the Pleiades, who were daugh- 
 ters of Atlas. 
 
 2. Feros cultus.'] Wild and undisciplined 
 habits. Man is described as originally mutum 
 et turpe pecus. Sat. i. 3. 100. 
 
 Hominum recentum.] Newly created— the 
 first men. 
 
 3. Voce formasti.] You who civilized man- 
 kind by voice — who taught them language — 
 the use of articulate sounds — the medium of 
 readily communicating their feelings to each 
 other. 
 
 Catus.] Intelligent and sagacious, in allu- 
 sion to the means employed by Mercury. 
 Catus is a Sabine word, according to Varro, de 
 Ling. Lat. 6. 
 
 Decorae more palastrce.] And by the prac- 
 tice of gymnastics — decorce, calculated to add 
 grace to his movements, and dignity to his 
 ; ppearance. 
 
 6. Lyrte parentem.] The honour of this 
 invention Mercury surrendered to Apollo, as 
 the condition of pardon for the tricks he had 
 played him. 
 
 7- Callidum — condere.] A Greek form of 
 
 construction for callidum ad condendum. Cal- 
 lidum agrees with te. 
 
 Jocoso condere furto.] Ingenious in playing 
 tricks — in hoaxing. 
 
 9. Te, boves, fyc] While threatening you, 
 then a child, with punishment, unless you re- 
 turned his cattle, which had been driven 
 away by you for fun, — in the very moment of 
 his wrath he found himself stripped of his 
 quiver, and fell a laughing, in spite of himself. 
 10- Puerum.] This feat, with respect to 
 Apollo's cattle, was performed by Mercury, 
 according to Horn. Hymn, in Merc. 19, on 
 the evening of his birth.

 The filching of the quiver is told in Luc. 
 D. D. vii.

 Horace charges Leuconoe not to consult 
 the Chaldean astrologers about the length of 
 his life, or of her own. It is better to bear 
 whatever comes, without knowing what will 
 come. He bids her be wise, get the wine 
 ready, and enjoy the present. 
 
 1. Tu ne qucesieris.} Qucesieris is, strictly, 
 a subjunctive form, which requires a previous 
 verb. You should not have inquired, appa- 
 rently the literal rendering, corrupts the 
 sense ; for it makes Leuconoe have already 
 done that which certainly Horace charges her 
 not to do. Mind that you have not inquired, 
 when I come — let me not find that you have 
 inquired — what it is impiety to wish to know, 
 i. e. the term of life which the Gods have given 
 you or me.

 2. Nee Bab. Tentdris, Sfc.} Nor consulted

 changing positions with the corresponding 
 events, were registered in tables ; and those 
 were said tentare numeros Bab. who consulted 
 these tables, classed or designated numerically.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE XII. METRE VI. 
 
 The ultimate aim of the poet is to pane- 
 gyrize Augustus, and the whole poem is 
 skilfully framed to subserve his purpose. The 
 scheme of the poem is taken, apparently, from 
 Pindar 01. ii. ; and as young Marcellus was 
 still living, and the empex-or preparing for his 
 expedition against the Parthians, the date 
 may be satisfactorily fixed, 730 U. C. 
 
 1. Quem virum.'] What man, eminent for 
 his achievements or his virtues. 
 
 Aut heroa.] The hero, specifically, is the 
 offspring of a deity and a mortal — rjfiiOtog — 
 enrolled among the Gods after death. 
 
 Lyra vel acri.] Accompanied by the lyre, 
 or the sharp, ear-piercing fife. 
 
 2. Sumis celebrare.] Greek construction 
 for celebrandum. 
 
 Clio.] The muse usually invoked on sub- 
 jects of the weightier kind. Her own name 
 from kKi'ho, to ennoble. Od. i. 1. 33. note. 
 
 3. Jocosa imago.] Echo ; described more 
 fully, Jocosa montis imago. Od. i. 20. 8. 
 
 Jocosa.] Sportive, or playful. The repe- 
 titions of the echo seem uttered in mere sport 
 — in mimickry or mockery — the last sylla- 
 bles only, without any serious purpose. Or 
 perhaps here is an allusion to some ludicrous 
 
 equivoques, of which Ovid will furnish a spe- 
 cimen. 
 
 Cujus recinet, <yc] Whose name Echo shall 
 repeat on the hills— the seats of the Muses. 
 
 5. Heliconis, fyc] Helicon is in Bceotia, 
 and Pindusin Thessaly, both sacred to Apollo 
 and the Muses. 
 
 6. Hcemo.] The Haemus, the Balkan, in 
 Thrace ; a mountain frequented and celebrated 
 by such as were dearest to the Muses — Linus, 
 Musaeus, Orpheus. 
 
 7. Unde.] From Haemus. 
 
 Vocalem.] Exerting his voice, when sing- 
 ing and playing. 
 
 Insecutce.] Supply sunt. 
 
 Temere.] Eagerly and heedlessly — just as 
 they were led by the music, without regard to 
 where they were going. 
 
 9. Arte materna.] The art of singing and 
 playing, in which Orpheus had been instructed 
 by his mother Calliope. 
 
 Morantem.] Checking, or suspending the 
 course of rapid streams — charmed by his 
 song. 
 
 11. Blandum — ducere.] Greek form for 
 blande ducentem — singing so sweetly as to 
 lead them where he pleased. 
 
 Auritas.] As if furnished with ears. 
 
 12. Quercus.] Selected, apparently, as the

 hardest, and so least susceptible of impres- 
 sions. 
 
 13. Solitis.'] Usual in hymns to the Gods. 
 Jupiter is the parent of all. Ab Jove princi- 
 pium, &c. Virg. Ec. iii. 60. 
 
 15. Variisque mundum, Sfc] Who so con- 
 trol and guide the course of the sun and 
 stars (mundum), as to produce — varies horce — 
 the difference of seasons. 
 
 17- Unde nil, Sfc] By whom nothing is 
 created greater than himself — no offspring su- 
 perior to himself. 
 
 18. Nee viget, fyc] Nor exists any thing 
 like him, in point of power ; nothing which 
 comes near enough to be reckoned second. 
 The deities that follow, Pallas, Bacchus, Diana, 
 Apollo, are all the offspring of Jupiter, and 
 greatly inferior. Their powers are limited — 
 assigned to specific departments. 
 
 19. Proximos illi tamen, fyc] Pallas, though 
 greatly below Jupiter, is yet far above the 
 rest. Like Salius, in Virgil, Proximus huic 
 longo sed proximus intervallo. JEn. v. 320. 
 
 22. ScBvis inimica Virgo.~\ Diana — destruc- 
 tive to wild animals. 
 
 23. Metuende.~] Formidable — to be dreaded 
 as a sure shot — with unerring shaft. 
 
 25. Alciden.'] Hercules, the grandson of 
 Alceus. 
 
 Puerosque LedcB.] Castor and Pollux, sons 
 of Jupiter and of Leda, the wife of Tyndarus. 
 Hence Castor and Pollux are frequently called 
 Dioscuri, and Tyndaridcc. 
 
 26. Hunc] Castor. 
 
 8 
 
 Equis superare nobilem.] A Greek form for 
 superando. Famous for his chariot-victories — 
 for driving, not riding. In ancient story, there 
 is abundant evidence that driving preceded 
 riding. Camels, in the East, were ridden 
 before horses. 
 
 Ilium, Sfc] Pollux, equally renowned 
 for his pugilistic victories. Pugnis, with the 
 fists, (from pugnus,) armed with the cestus — 
 gloves strengthened or plated with iron. 
 
 27. Quorum simul alba, §c] As soon as 
 their brilliant, or, by implication, propitious 
 stars (the two conspicuous ones in Gemini) 
 reflect their light upon the sailors. As soon, 
 that is, as they rise heliacally. 
 
 29. Defluit saxis.] The waves fall — with- 
 draw from the rocks — no longer dash against 
 them. 
 
 Agitatus humor.] The waters disturbed by 
 winds and storms, and thrown upon the rocks. 
 Agitatus humor is not ice melted, and so 
 streaming down the rocks, because the season 
 alluded to is the month of May. 
 
 30. Concidwit, Sfc] The winds subside, 
 the clouds disperse, and the threatening wave 
 reclines upon the deep again, at their potent 
 will. 
 
 33. Romulum post hos.] Next to these 
 deities and heroes, I am in doubt what " man" 
 to celebrate first — Romulus or Numa, equally, 
 in their ways, the founders of Rome ; or 
 Brutus, the founder of the republic ; or Cato, 
 who refused to survive the extinction of that 
 republic.

 NOTES. 
 
 34. Superbos Tarquini fasces.'] Thefasces, 
 the emblems of sovereignty, and here used for 
 the sovereignty itself, or rather for the exer- 
 cise of it. Superbos Tarq. fasces expresses the 
 effects of Tarquin's insolent exercise of power, 
 the indignation of Brutus, and the establish- 
 ment of the republic. 
 
 37- Regulum.'} Who gave so irrefragable 
 a proof of devotion to the best interests of his 
 country. Horace himself tells his story, Od. 
 iii. 5. 
 
 Scauros.] The family of the Scauri pro- 
 duced many illustrious persons ; the most 
 eminent, and those of course alluded to, were 
 M. yEmilius Scaurus, the princeps senatus of 
 his day, and his son, the magnificent sedile. 
 Valerius Max. relates of the first, that when 
 charged by a senator of the name of Varius 
 with insidiously inciting to rebellion some of 
 the Socii of the republic, on the strength of 
 his recognised integrity, he made a successful 
 appeal to the people thus : — Varius charges 
 me with this crime. I, the princeps senatus, 
 deny the truth of the charge. He has no 
 evidence. Which of us, Quirites, do you 
 believe ? 
 
 Animceque prodigum Paul.] L. y£mi- 
 lius Paulus, the colleague in the consulate, 
 and in the command with Terentius Varro at 
 the battle of Cannae. Sooner than survive 
 that disgraceful defeat, he voluntarily pre- 
 sented himself to the swords of the victorious 
 enemy, and thus threw away his life. 
 
 39. Insigni — Cam.] Distinguishing. The 
 allusion is strictly to the extraordinary merits 
 of the persons commemorated, not to any su- 
 perior quality of his own verses. The word 
 implies that the poet selects them for celebra- 
 tion in preference to others. 
 
 40. Fabricium.] Distinguished in the war 
 with Pyrrhus for his integrity and magnani- 
 
 mity — his refusal of Pyrrhus's money, and his 
 repulse of the wretch who offered to poison 
 Pyrrhus. 
 
 41. Hunc] Fabricius. He, and Curius, 
 and Camillus were alike memorable for ho- 
 nourable poverty, after a long exercise of the 
 highest offices in the state. Curius acquired 
 his celebrity in the Samnite war, and Camillus 
 was the expeller of the Gauls from Rome. 
 
 Incomtis.] Unkempt, rough. No care or 
 time spent upon the toilette. 
 
 43. Apto cum lare.] With a house suited 
 to the size of the farm — small. Lar, the 
 household deity, put habitually for the house 
 itself. 
 
 45. Occulto velut arbor cevo.] As a tree 
 grows — insensibly, but steadily and surely. 
 
 46. Fama Marcelli.] The consul Marcel- 
 lus, in the second Punic war — the first who 
 gave Hannibal a check. But how fama Mar- 
 celli prescit ? Specifically from the recent al- 
 liances of his descendants with the family of 
 Augustus. A Marcellus married the only 
 sister of Augustus, and her son, by Marcellus, 
 before he was seventeen, married his cousin, 
 the only daughter of Augustus. The youth 
 was the destined successor of the emperor, and 
 of course the object of general adulation, espe- 
 cially among the poets. Compare Virgil. JEn. 
 vi. 856. 
 
 47. Julium sidus.] This sidus is doubtless 
 young Marcellus— both by birth and marriage 
 a member of the Julian family — the hope of 
 Rome — the cynosure of every eye — before 
 whom all other stars hid their diminished 
 heads. 
 
 50. Magni Ccesaris.] The allusion to Mar- 
 cellus paves the way for the introduction of 
 the poet's ultimate object — the eulogy of the 
 head of the Julian family, Magnus Caesar. 
 He does not style him by his formal and legal

 A notion for which we are indebted to our

 ODE XIV. METRE IV. 
 
 If Horace, as seems probable enough, al- 
 ludes to the impending perils of a new civil 
 war, the period must be 722 U. C. when war 
 between Antony and Augustus was on the 
 point of exploding. Some few lines, pre- 
 served in Heraclides Pont, de Allegoria, shew 
 that the poet had a model before him. The 
 allegory seems to have been in frequent re- 
 quisition with Alcaeus. Quintilian quotes the 
 first line, and appeals to the whole piece as a 
 specimen of that species of allegory which 
 says one thing and means another — in con- 
 tradistinction to that which says one thing 
 and means the contrary. Navim pro repub- 
 
 lica, fluctuum tempestates pro bellis civilibus, 
 portum pro pace atque concordia dicit. viii. 6. 
 
 1. Novi fluctus?] Shall new waves carry 
 you back to the open sea ? Will you expose 
 yourself again to its perils ? Or, applied to 
 the State — is a new madness hurrying you 
 again into civil war ? 
 
 2. Quid agis ?] A colloquial phrase — what 
 are you about ? 
 
 Fortiter occupa.] Keep close to port ; or 
 if the State be addressed — shaken as you have 
 been by former civil wars, consult your safety 
 by clinging firmly to peace. 
 
 3. Nonne vides, Sfc] See you not how 
 your side is stripped of its oars, or its rowers ? 
 — you have lost your crew.

 NOTES. 
 
 5. Et malus.'] And how your mast is 
 wounded — shaken by the sweeping Africus — 
 and how your sail-yards crack and groan ? 
 
 6. Ac sine funibus.] With your anchors 
 lost. The funes were the cables of the an- 
 chors. 
 
 7. Vix durare, fyc] And with what diffi- 
 culty your keel (the ship) sustains the " rude 
 imperious surge ?" 
 
 9. Non tibi integra.] Your sails are torn 
 — not whole. 
 
 10. Non Di, fyc] No longer have you 
 Dii to invoke when again oppressed by the 
 storm. Dii not the figure head of the ship — 
 but small images placed beside an altar in the 
 stern. More distinctly noticed in Persius vi. 
 30. 
 
 Jacet ipse in litore et una 
 
 Ingentes de puppe dei. 
 
 11. Quamvis Pontica pinus.] Though built 
 of the firs of Pontus — much used in ship- 
 building. 
 
 13. Silv<z filia, fyc] Offspring of a noble 
 
 forest, vain will it be to boast your race and 
 name. 
 
 14. Nil pictis, fyc] Nor even will your 
 painted sterns give the sailor confidence. 
 
 15. Tu, nisi, fyc] Unless you owe, and 
 are bound and resolved to pay — which will 
 perhaps be equivalent to — unless you wish to 
 be the laughing-stock of the winds — beware. 
 The phrase corresponds with the Greek, 
 6<j)\eiv or 6(p\ioKa.vuv yeXojra — to expose 
 one's self to laughter — voluntarily to incur it. 
 
 17- Nuper sollicitum, fyc] You who lately 
 — when in the storm — were an object of so- 
 licitude, and now are one of fondness and 
 deep regard, &c. Supply eras after quee, and 
 es after nunc. 
 
 Sollicitum taedium.] A source of exhausting 
 solicitude. 
 
 19. Interfusa.] Waters which flow between 
 the glittering Cyclades. 
 
 Nitentes.] White cliffs, often of resplen- 
 dent marble. Supply inter to govern nitentes 
 Cycladas.

 ODE XV. METRE III. 
 
 Nereus, a sea-deity, stops in its course the 
 ship in which Paris is carrying Helen off to 
 Troy, and denounces the fatal consequences 
 of his perfidious act — the toils of the Greeks, 
 the death of himself, and the destruction of 
 Troy. Bacchylides, according to the testi- 
 
 NOTES. 
 
 mony of the scholiast, Porphyrion, wrote a 
 prophetic poem of the same character. In his 
 piece the prophet was Cassandra, and the 
 scene the gates of Troy on the arrival of Paris 
 with Helen. The supposition that Horace had 
 Antony and Cleopatra in his eye, seems quite 
 gratuitous.

 cuba, was brought up on Mount Ida, among 
 the shepherds of his father's flocks — removed 
 from his family on account of his mother's 
 dreaming, in her pregnancy, that she was 
 going to give birth to a fire-brand. 
 
 Traher et.'] The word of course implies 
 Paris was carrying her away by force, but not 
 in spite of Helen. Perfidus must be construed 
 in unison with traheret ; and the perfidy was 
 all against Menelaus. Women were but a 
 property in the days and in the pages of my- 
 thology. Different poets, however, represent 
 Helen as willing or unwilling, according to 
 their own immediate views. 
 
 Navibus Idceis.] Plural for singular — in a 
 vessel built of timber, the growth of Mount 
 Ida. 
 
 2. Perfidus.'] Towards Menelaus, by whom 
 he had been hospitably entertained. 
 
 Hospitam.] The wife of his host. 
 
 3. Ingrato.] Unwelcome to the winds, in 
 the common interpretation ; but unwelcome 
 to Paris must seem to be the idea intended to 
 be conveyed. There is no personification of 
 the winds here ; they were celeres, but that is 
 the very reason why the interruption should 
 be unacceptable to Paris ; they were speed- 
 ing him home, where he hoped to secure his 
 prize. 
 
 4. Fera.] Dire. 
 
 5. Nereus.] The same prophetic use is 
 made of other marine deities by the poets — 
 Proteus by Homer and Virgil, Odyss. iv. 384. 
 and Georg. iv. 387- ; and Glaucus by Apoll. 
 Rhod. L. 1310. 
 
 Maid — avi.] With an unpropitious omen. 
 Events were judged of by the direction of the 
 flight of birds chiefly, but occasionally by 
 their screams. The allusion to these auspices 
 is perpetual in the poets. Epod. 10. 1. Od. iii. 
 3. 61. 
 
 6. Multo — milite.] With many a soldier 
 — with numerous armies will Greece reclaim 
 her. 
 
 7- Conjurata.] Greek, for quce conjuravit 
 
 se rupturam esse — bound together by an oath 
 to mar your nuptials, and Priam's realm. 
 
 Rumpere nuptias — regnum.] Rumpere does 
 not, according to the common usage of the 
 term, apply so well to regnum as to nuptias ; 
 but Horace obviously means the word shall 
 apply to both. The direction of critics to 
 supply evertere, or delere, or some other more 
 appropriate word, under the shadowy sanction 
 of the figure Zeugma, is not only superfluous, 
 but calculated to mislead. 
 
 9. Eheu, quantus — adest.] Alas, what 
 sweat — what toil is before my eyes (adest). 
 Nereus, in his prophetic eye — by his second- 
 sight — already beholds the fearful event. 
 
 10. Dardance.] Dardanus was an ancestor 
 of Priam — a son of Jupiter by Electra. The 
 whole nation, as is every where common in 
 the poets, was thus named from one of its 
 sovereigns. 
 
 Moves funera.] What deaths are you 
 preparing — i. e. what destruction will follow 
 the war you are exciting. 
 
 11. Jam — rabiem parat.] Parare is as little 
 applicable — even less so — to rabiem, as rum- 
 pere to regnum. If the terms be closely pressed, 
 parare rabiem involves a solecism of facts, as 
 well as of language. Rabies is not a thing 
 got up upon plan and calculation, but is the 
 natural effect of circumstances. It is here 
 indignation excited by wrong. The goddess 
 is already enraged, and ready to pour her 
 vengeance upon the guilty Trojans. The lan- 
 guage of poetry leaps over facts, to come the 
 quicker and more unincumbered to its ob- 
 ject, and is not to be tied down to the preci- 
 sion required by mere matters of fact. 
 
 JEgida.] The term is usually appropriated 
 to Jupiter's shield, covered with the skin of 
 the goat (ai% aiyoq) Amaltheae, his foster - 
 nurse. But Minerva's own shield, with the 
 head of Medusa, often bears the same name. 
 
 13. Praesidio ferox.] Proud of the patron- 
 age of Venus — exulting in her favours. 
 
 14. Grataque feminis.] Songs agreeable

 to women, and especially to Helen — amatory 
 songs. 
 
 15. Imbelli cithara.'] Contemptuously — 
 effeminate. 
 
 Carmina divides.] The phrase seems to 
 express the two acts, concurrent or successive, 
 of singing and playing. The two acts divide 
 the Carmen between them. The Carmen is 
 the combined effect of words sung, and music 
 accompanying them, or assisting them. Ho- 
 race has, elsewhere, dividere oscula sodalibits, 
 to distribute his kisses among his friends — to 
 welcome them with that mark of affection ; 
 and Virgil has Dividere vina sociis — in like 
 manner, to distribute his wine. Then why 
 not construe dividere carmina in the same 
 way — to distribute his songs among the 
 women — to sing first to one and then ano- 
 ther ? Because, obviously, feminis does not 
 depend upon the action of the verb, but upon 
 grata.

 Thalarno graves.] Terrible to the bridal 
 chamber — most unwelcome to you and your 
 new bride. 
 
 17. Calami spicula Gnosii.] Arrows made 
 of the Gnossian reed. Gnossus, a town of 
 Crete; and the Cretans, generally, were famed 
 for archery.

 shout of battle.

 distinguished for his speed. 
 
 Tamen, heu ! serus, <yc] Supply quamvis

 will soil your curls in the dust. You will pay

 25. Sive opus est, Sfc] Or if occasion

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE XVI. METRE VIII. 
 
 The poet makes the amende honorable to a 
 mother and her daughter, for some severe 
 verses, offensive alike to them both. Ascrib- 
 ing the cause to anger, the curse of humanity, 
 he compliments their beauty, excuses his in- 
 temperance, and solicits a renewal of the 
 younger lady's friendship. Stesichorus lost 
 his sight for libelling Helen, and recovered it 
 by recanting his severities. If Horace imi- 
 tated the poet of Paros, the resemblance is 
 not very obvious. 
 
 2. Criminosis.] Libellous. The verses 
 were said to have begun with 
 
 O matre turpi filia turpior. 
 Modum.'] End. You will put what end 
 to them — you will destroy them in what way 
 you please.

 fanaticism of her devotees is well known. 
 Lucret. II. 616. and Virgil. ^En. ix. 617.

 temple frequented only by the priests. 
 
 Quatit mentem sac] The Pythoness and

 6. Pythius.] Apollo, called Pythius from 
 the serpent Python, killed by him, when a 
 child, in defence of his mother. 
 
 hicola.] Equivalent to habitans. Apollo, 
 when he enters or agitates the bosom, takes 
 possession of it — makes it his home.

 drunkenness, with which the rites of Bacchus 
 were celebrated, is as familiar as the fanati- 
 cism of the priests of Cybele. Liv. 89. 8.

 The poet invites Tyndaris to come and 
 share the fruits, the retreats, and the security 
 of his Sabine farm — the favourite seat of 
 Faunus. 
 
 1. Velox.~\ The sylvan deities — the Ca- 
 pripedes are usually characterised as light of 
 foot — active and agile, and fond of dancing ; 
 but here, probably, some allusion is made to 
 the readiness with which Faunus speeds to 
 his favourite Lucretilis. 
 
 Lucretilem.] Now Libreti — a hill, or range 
 of hills, in the old country of the Sabines. 
 On the declivity of this hill Horace had a 
 small farm. In Ep. i. 16. he describes its 
 position with some details, but not sufficiently 
 perhaps to identify the spot. 
 
 2. Lyccso.] A mountain in Arcadia, be- 
 yond all others, sacred to Faunus. Common 
 construction requires Lucretili Lycceum. Fau- 
 nus exchanges Lycaeum for Lucretilis — he 
 quits Lycaeum to visit Lucretilis. 
 
 3. Defendit, fyc] Defends or protects my 
 goats from the burning summer, and the wet 
 winds. There was abundance of shade, and 
 the buildings were screened from the winds 
 by the hills. 
 
 5. Impune. .] Impune because the nemus 
 was tutum. Exposed to no perils in the pro- 
 tected woods. 
 
 Arbutos — latentes.] Not so obvious or 
 abundant as not to require searching for. 
 
 6 Device.] Erratic — disposed to roam. 
 
 7- Olentis ux. mar.~\ The female goats. 
 The he-goat has a strong offensive odour. Vir 
 gregis. Virg. Ec. vii. 7- 
 
 9. Martiales.'] As being sacred to Mars. 
 Martius. Virgil Mn. ix. 5, 6. 
 
 10. Utcunque.] Quotiescunque. When- 
 ever with his (Faunus's) sweet pipe, the valley 
 and the smooth rocks of Ustica re-echo. 
 
 11. Vsticce.] Ustica is the name of ano- 
 ther hill, which, with the Lucretilis, are the 
 continui monies of the Ep. before referred to. 
 They were not continuous, in the strict sense 
 of the term, but near each other — parted only 
 by the vale. 
 
 Cubantis.] With a gentle slope — like a 
 person reclining. Colles supini. Virgil. Geor. 
 ii. 276. 
 
 12. Levia.] Smooth — alluding either to 
 the polish of marble rocks, or to the laeviga- 
 tion produced by rippling currents. 
 
 13. Dis pietas, §c] Supply car a. Dear 
 to their hearts. 
 
 14. Musa.] My love of song. 
 
 Hie tibi, Sfc] The construction is, Hie opu- 
 lenta copia honorum ruris manabit tibi benigno 
 ad plenum cornu. 
 
 15. Ad plenum.] To the brim — in abund- 
 ance. Virgil has the same phrase, Geor. ii. 
 244. 
 
 16. Ruris honorum.] Fruits, flowers, &c. 
 Cornu.] An allusion to the horn of Amal- 
 
 thoea. Again, Saec. Cann. 59. and Ep. i. 12. 
 18. The whole story is told in Ovid. Fast, 
 v. 121.

 — near that town. One spot is obviously 
 meant. Catillus, Tiburtus, and Coras, were 
 brothers, and alike regarded as the founders 
 of Tibur. Virgil. jEn. vi. 670. Horace has 
 shortened the penultimate of Catillus. 
 
 3. Siccis.'] Opposed to vino madidus, uvi- 
 dus. Not the sober and moderate, but those 
 who abstain altogether from wine — water- 
 drinkers — milksops. Nothing but misery is 
 the lot of such. 
 
 4. Mordaces aliter, fyc] No other way are 
 biting, torturing cares dispersed. Edaces cu- 
 res. Od. ii. 11. 17. ovd' ear aWo (papfuxKov

 5. Quis post vina.] Who, after a bottle of 
 wine, croaks about the perils of war, or the 
 miseries of poverty ? Who does not rather 
 talk with delight of you, pater Bacchus, and 
 you, decens Venus ? The terms pater and 
 decens exclude all ideas of intemperance. 
 
 Crepat.] Crepare aliquid is to be full of a 
 thing — to be eternally dwelling upon it; if in 
 a miserable state, to croak— if in a cheerful 
 one, to boast. 
 
 7- Modici.] Not passing the limits of mo- 
 deration. Bacchus modicus is no patron of 
 drunkenness, or fomenter of the quarrels which 
 spring from it. Verecundumque Bacchum. Od. 
 i. 27. 3.

 blows.

 with the Lapithae, fought over the bottle. 
 Ovid. Met. xii. 219. 
 
 9. Sithoniis.] Thracians. Od. i. 27- 2. 
 Non levis.] Hostile, or who inflicted ven- 
 geance upon the Thracians on account of their 
 
 excesses, or the crimes committed in those 
 excesses. 
 
 Evius.] An appellation of Bacchus, sup- 
 posed to be derived from the acclamations of 
 his intemperate devotees, ev ot. Bacchus for 
 ever ! Good luck to him ! 
 
 Monet.] Holds out a warning, by the pe- 
 nalties he inflicts upon the Sithonii, when, 
 avidi libidinum, eager for the indulgence of 
 their passions, they distinguish right and 
 wrong by a small, or by no line of demarka- 
 tion — when they confound right and wrong, 
 or break down the barriers which separate 
 them. 
 
 11. Non ego, Sfc. — invitum quatiam.] 1 
 will not impiously violate your sacred rites. 
 I will not force you to sanction excesses. Of 
 course the plain meaning is, I will carefully 
 abstain from drunkenness. 
 
 Bassareu.] Bacchus — said to be derived 
 from a Thracian, or African word, meaning 
 Fox, or Fox-skin. Hesychius describes fidcr- , 
 aapai, as the xirioveg ovg i<p6povv at Opyicia. 
 
 12. Nee variis, fyc] Nor drag into day 
 your mysteries, better veiled with boughs of 
 ivy, vine, &c. 1 will not, by excesses, rush 
 into follies or crimes. 
 
 13. Steva tene, 8fc] Restrain the tumults of 
 drunkenness — the drums and horns of Cybelo 
 — avert that state of intoxication which assi- 
 milates your worshippers to those of Cybele. 
 
 14. Qua subsequitur.] At the heels of 
 which follow, &c. — the vices which accompany 
 drunkenness. 
 
 Crecus Amor sui.] Blind love of self, which 
 disregards all others.

 ODE XIX. METRE II. 
 
 Venus, Bacchus, and his own passions 
 prompt the poet to renew an intercourse, long 
 given up, with the beautiful Glycera. 
 
 1. Mater Cupidinum.'] Innumerable Cu- 
 pids appear in the suite of Venus, to execute 
 her various commands and caprices. 
 
 Sava.] From the misery which savo cum 
 joco, (Od. i. 34. 12.) she often occasions, 
 especially in his own case, by impelling him 
 to court again the smiles of her whom he had 
 perhaps treated with contumely, or had been 
 so treated by her. 
 
 2. Semeles puer.] Bacchus. Sine Libero, 
 Venus friget. Ter. Eun. iv. 5, 6. 
 
 3. Licentia.] Appropriately follows in the 
 suite of Venus and Bacchus. 
 
 5. Nitor.] Beauty. Brilliancy of com- 
 plexion, smooth and radiant. 
 
 6. Pario marmore.] The marble of Paros, 
 an island in the iEgean — conspicuous for its 
 pure and pellucid whiteness, and very much 
 employed for sculpture. 
 
 7- Grata protervitas*.] Coquetterie, or ra- 
 
 ther, perhaps, her saucy and wanton smiles — 
 piquancy of manner. 
 
 8. Vultus nim. lub., 8fc] Eyes, especially — 
 too flashing, too bright to be gazed upon 
 steadily, or with impunity. 
 
 9. In me tota ruens, fyc] Venus has quitted 
 Venus, and is rushing into my bosom. I shall 
 be wholly under her dominion. Compare the 
 last line, veniet lenior. 
 
 10. Nee patitur Scythas, Sfc] Nor suffers 
 me to speak of the Scythians, (now mixing 
 with the factions of the Parthians, and for the 
 first time enumerated among the enemies of 
 Rome,) nor of the Parthians, nor, by implica- 
 tion, of the achievements of Augustus. 
 
 11. Versis equis.] The Parthians were 
 trained to shoot their arrows on horseback, 
 while retreating. Virgil. Geo. iii. 31. 
 
 12. Qua nihil attinent.] Supply ad me. 
 Nor any thing else, which, like Scythians and 
 Parthians, concerns not me — the subject and 
 slave of Venus — bound to sing nothing but 
 songs of love. 
 
 13. Hie] To soothe and temper the fer-

 16. Mactata hostia.] When the victim is 
 
 slain, Venus will come (therefore she was not 
 yet come) in a more gentle mood than she 
 seemed to threaten. 
 
 In the worship of Venus, blood was not shed 
 upon the altar. According to Tacitus, Hist, 
 ii. 3, it was forbidden ; but kids were slain at 
 least for extispicium. Certissima fides hcedo-

 ODE XX. METRE VI. 
 
 An off-hand, extemporaneous kind of reply 
 to Maecenas, who may be supposed to have 
 sent Horace word he would come and taste his 
 wine. His, the poet tells him, is Sabine wine, 
 but wine of the very year in which Maecenas 
 was welcomed in the theatre with shouts of 
 joy and gratulation. Maecenas must drink his 
 Caecuban at home. 
 
 1. Vile.] Of a common quality, grown 
 upon my own farm, at Lucretilis. Od. L 
 
 17. 
 
 Modicis.] The word expresses, perhaps, not 
 so much the smallness of the canthari, as their 
 inferior quality — common, or ordinary, like 
 the wine. 
 
 2. Cantharis.] Strictly the cantharus was 
 a jug with a handle, shaped, apparently, some- 
 thing like a scarabceus, or perhaps only carved 
 with scarabcei, (icavSapoQ, beetle,) and used 
 like a diota, if that be not the same vessel, for 
 transferring wine from the amphora to the 
 cup. 
 
 Grcecd — testa.] A cask made of earthen- 
 
 ware, and called Greek, from the materials, 
 or the workmanship. 
 
 3. Conditum levi.] Which, when put into 
 the cask, I myself (levi) secured the bung 
 with rosin, or wax. 
 
 4. Quum tibi plausus.] On that day, or in 
 that year, in which such applause — such a 
 shout of welcome was given on your entrance 
 into the theatre, that the banks of the Tiber, 
 and the echo of the Vatican repeated the gra- 
 tulation. Upon some extraordinary occasion — 
 a return after long absence, or recovery from 
 sickness. 
 
 5. Paterni fluminis.] Tiber, which flows 
 through Etruria, the country of Maecenas's 
 ancestors. Ode i. 1. 
 
 7- Vatic, montis.] The theatre was Pom- 
 pey's. It stood near the Tiber, and looked 
 towards the Vatican. The Vatican hill had 
 its name e Vaticiniis. 
 
 8. Montis imago.] Echo. Od. i. 12. 4. 
 
 9. Cacubam.] Cciecubus was a hill of Latium, 
 near the bay of Caieta ; and all the wines here 
 mentioned were of the same region of Italy. 
 
 10. Tu bibes.] Tu, emphatically — you, at

 The good and honourable, whatever dangers 
 they encounter, require no mortal weapons to 
 protect them. At the sight of the poet him- 
 self — a man devoted to the muses and his 
 mistress, and thus secluded from the intrigues 
 and crimes of society — a tremendous wolf, in- 
 stead of rushing to devour him, fled from him ; 
 and placed under the burning or the freezing 
 zone, he doubts not he shall be equally safe, 
 while engaged in the same pious pursuits. 
 The same Aristius Fuscus, Horace addresses 
 Ep. i. 10. and introduces in Sat. i. 9. 61. 
 
 1. Integer vitce.} Instead of vir integrce 
 vita.} In Sat. ii. 3. 200. occurs integer animi. 
 
 2. Mauris jaculis.'} Spears with which 
 the Moors were armed against the wild ani- 
 mals with which their country abounded. 
 
 3. Fen. gravida.} Full of poisoned arrows. 
 
 5. Sive per Syrtes.} Whether he has to go 
 over the burning Syrtes, (heated by the sun,) 
 or to the inhospitable Caucasus, or to the 
 regions through which Hydaspes flows. 
 
 Syrtes.} The quicksands on the Mediter- 
 ranean coast of Africa. See Cato's march 
 through the Syrtes. Lucan. Ph. ix. 303. 
 
 6. Inhospitalem.} "AZtvog, a(5a.Tog, dirdv- 
 
 3rp(t)7rog, are common epithets of Caucasus, in 
 the Greek poets. 
 
 7- Caucasum.} A range of mountains be- 
 tween the Euxine and the Caspian, thinly 
 peopled, and full of wild animals. 
 
 8. Fabulosus Hydaspes.} Now the Jhylum, 
 or Jelum, one of the rivers of the Punjaub, 
 flowing into the Indus. It was the limit of 
 Alexander's progress. It is not known what 
 particular fables are alluded to ; but of course 
 they told of some terrible monsters. 
 
 9. Silva — in Sabina.} In the woods near 
 Horace's own farm, upon the Lucretilis. 
 
 10. Ultra term. Sfc.} Roaming beyond his 
 usual limits, or beyond his own fields, and so 
 exposed to more danger. But danger, from a 
 solitary wolf, there could be none. The poet 
 must not be supposed to be speaking in a 
 serious mood. 
 
 11. Curis expeditis.} Free from all cares 
 — quite absorbed in his contemplation of 
 Lalage. 
 
 12. Inermem.} Agrees with me — without 
 a weapon of defence in my hands. 
 
 13. Quale portentum.} The wolf was such 
 a monster as neither Daunia ever fed, nor 
 Africa bred, though she gives birth to lions.

 ODE XXIII. METRE IV. 
 
 The poet compares Chloe, a young lass, 
 who will not quit her mother's protection, to 
 a fawn, which, frightened at the rustle of a 
 leaf, trembles and flies to its mother's side. 
 He is no tiger or lion, but a lover ; and she 
 is no longer a child, but old enough to have 
 a husband. The piece is of Greek origin, at- 
 tested both by the whole tone of it, and by a 
 fragment preserved in Athenseus, (ix. 12.) 
 who ascribes it to Anacreon. 
 
 1. Chloe.] The name is from X\orj — 
 Fresh verdure. 
 
 Vitas hinnuleo, fyc.] Like a young fawn, 
 Chloe, you fly from me. 
 
 2. Pavidam.] Fearful for herself, and still 
 more so for her offspring. 
 
 3. Non sine vano.] With an idle fear. 
 
 5. Vepris.] Vepris is, apparently, no more 
 Horace's word than vitis, or veris, both of 
 which have their patrons. Bentley suggested 
 vepris, from the sole consideration of its cor- 
 responding so well with rubum — without re- 
 garding its incongruity with mobilibus foliis 
 — a more important matter. 
 
 Mobilibus foliis.] Light quivering leaves 
 — easily agitated by the wind, like the leaves 
 of an aspin.

 8. Tremit, Sfc] The fawn. Its heart 
 beats, and its knees shake. 
 
 9. Atqui non ego.] But yet, /am not pur- 
 suing to tear and rend you — as the tiger or 
 the lion does the fawn. 
 
 10. Gcetulus.] African. Gaetulia is a 
 
 part of Africa ; it formed a part of Massi- 
 nissa's kingdom, and is now called Bildul- 
 gerid. 
 
 Frangere 'persequor, .] Greek, for te fran- 
 gendam, or ut te frangam. 
 
 11. Tandem desine, Sfc] Tandem ex-

 cease, like a timid fawn. 
 
 12. Tempestiva viro.] Of an age for a

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE XXIV. METRE III. 
 
 Horace condoles with Virgil on the death 
 of their common friend, Quinctilius — a man 
 whom he describes as without an equal for 
 modesty, fidelity, and truth. Tears are vain, 
 and so is poetry ; but what cannot be reme- 
 died may be relieved by resignation. Quinc- 
 tilius is, probably, the same person whose 
 severe and sound judgment is spoken of in 
 the Ep. ad Pisones, 438. In Jerome's Chro- 
 nicle, " Quinctilius, the friend of Horace and 
 Virgil," is said to have died, 729. U. C. 
 
 1. Quis desiderio, fyc] What disgrace can 
 there be in our regret — or what limit or 
 measure ? — Why should we be ashamed of 
 our sorrow — or why should we check the in- 
 dulgence or expression of it ? 
 
 2. Tarn cari capitis.] I. e. ob carum caput, 
 <piXri KE(pa\ri, is a common Greek phrase. 
 
 Praecipe, fyc] Prompt, then, Melpomene, 
 the mournful lays. Prtecipire is equivalent 
 to prcecinere — and that, to teach me to sing — 
 or in one word, prompt. 
 
 5. Ergo, 4-c] Here commence the inspi- 
 rations of Melpomene. Does then, indeed, 
 eternal sleep, &c. 
 
 6. Cui Pudor, fyc] Any one equal to 
 whom, when will modesty, &c. find ? — By 
 construction, three virtues only are comme- 
 morated — modesty, fidelity, as the sister of 
 justice, and truth. But the meaning of the 
 poet, probably is, that justice and fidelity are 
 twin sisters, and inseparable. 
 
 7. Incorrupta.] Incorruptible.

 Durum ! Sed levius fit patientia, 
 Quidquid corrigere est nefas.

 NOTES. 
 
 11. Tu frustra pins, fyc] Tu, emphatically. 
 You, pious though you be, in vain ask Quinc- 
 tilius of the Gods, &c. 
 
 Frustra.] Construes of course with poscis. 
 
 Non ita creditum.] Not so lent or 
 granted to you, that he should not be re- 
 claimed by them. But a less obvious sense 
 is, perhaps, the true one — not so committed 
 or consigned to the Gods by Virgil's vows, 
 that they should suffer him to die, but rather 
 that they should preserve him. For creditum 
 is used in accordance with the peculiar senti- 
 ments of the times. Those who made vows, 
 were said, credere, to lend or entrust some- 
 thing to the Gods ; and, on the other hand, the 
 Gods were said, debere, to owe, quod creditum 
 est, that which had been lent or entrusted, on 
 condition of the vows. Virgil had made vows 
 for the life of Quinctilius, but by the Gods 
 they had not been accepted on that condition ; 
 and so Virgil claims the performance in vain. 
 
 13. Quod si, fyc] Nay, if you even tuned 
 the lyre more sweetly than Orpheus, &c. — 
 
 which shews that the Virgil here addressed 
 was the poet. 
 
 14. Auditam arboribus.'] A dative. 
 
 15. Non vanee.] Not to the empty form — 
 void of flesh and blood — can the blood return, 
 &c. 
 
 16. Quam, fyc] The shade, which once 
 with his fearful wand he has conducted to the 
 dark flock, &c. 
 
 17 • Non lenis, fyc] Inexorable — Mercury 
 cannot be persuaded to unclose the fates, i. e. 
 to open the way again to life. 
 
 Lenis fata recludere.] Greek, for ut fata 
 recludat, or ad fata recludenda. 
 
 18. Nigro gregi.] F 'or ad nigrum gregem ; 
 and dark, from the sunless regions to which 
 they were conducted. 
 
 19. Durum.] Hard it is ; but lighter — 
 more tolerable, by submission, becomes, &c 
 
 20. Quidquid, fyc] Whatever it is im- 
 practicable to correct, and is therefore impious 
 to attempt.

 ODE XXV. METRE VI. 
 
 The poet triumphs over the humbled pride 
 of Lydia, now past her bloom, driven to the 
 vilest degradation, and compelled to see her 
 old admirers desert her for younger rivals. 
 Compare Od. iii. 15. and iv. 13. where the 
 topic is the same. 
 
 1. Parcius.] More rarely than formerly, 
 or rather, very rarely. 
 
 Quatiunt fenestras.] Shake your windows 
 — knock at them for admittance. 
 
 Junctas fenestras.] Closed and fastened. 
 The fenestra; were the apertures only — glass 
 windows were not in use. 
 
 3. Nee tibi somnos, fyc] Nor deprive you 
 of your sleep now. The sarcasm is obvious. 
 
 Amatque janua.] The door loves the door- 
 post — seldom leaves it — is rarely opened at 
 the call of admirers.

 NOTES. 
 
 5. Prius facilis, 8fc] Very easy, ready 
 hinges — the door which used to open so very 
 often. 
 
 6. Minus et minus jam.] Less and less 
 now you hear lovers exclaim outside your 
 door. The sting is in the word jam, em- 
 phatically placed at the end of the verse. 
 
 7- Me tuo, fyc] While I, your own be- 
 loved, am perishing here the live-long night, 
 are you sleeping, Lydia ? 
 
 Pereunte.] From cold and unrequited 
 love. 
 
 9. Invicem mcechos, fyc] You will shed 
 tears — you, in your turn, will find your old 
 admirers as insolent as you yourself were in 
 your days of pride. 
 
 10. In solo levis angiportu, Sfc] Neglected 
 — worthless — in some miserable bye-place — 
 little frequented, or only by the lowest 
 rabble. 
 
 11. Thracio bacchante, fyc] Exposed to 
 the weather — when the cold Thracian wind 
 (north) is raging. 
 
 Sub interlunia.] As if in the period be- 
 
 tween the old and new moons the wind was 
 more violent. 
 
 Sub interl.~\ In dark nights — between 
 the moons — when the wind rages most. 
 Theophrastus de ventis, says expressly,

 13. Quum tibi, Sfc] To annoy you more 
 — when your own passions are inflamed. 
 
 15. Jecur ulcerosum.] The effect of her 
 inflamed state and unsated appetites. 
 
 16. Non sine questu.] Not without a com- 
 plaint — fretted because, &c. 
 
 17* Quod — gaudeat, Sfc] Construe magis 
 with gaudeat, because the young and vigor- 
 ous ( lata pubes) are more delighted with the 
 green ivy and dark myrtle — young girls, fresh 
 and full of life. 
 
 Virenti pulla.] The new leaves of the 
 myrtle are of a dark green — and of the ivy, 
 bright. 
 
 19. Aridas frondes.] And because dry and 
 withered leaves — old women like you — they 
 fling to the winds — to Eurus, the companion 
 of winter.

 been a man of ancient family, and Horace's 
 appeal to the Muse in his favour, implies 
 some personal merit and distinction. He 
 seems to have been conspicuous in the Bellum 
 Cantabricum. The /Elius Lamias, whose 
 death is recorded by Tacitus, Ann. vi. 27. is 
 supposed to be the same person. That was 
 fifty-six years after the composition of this 
 piece ; but Tacitus, by the words vivida se- 
 nectus, indicates great age. 
 
 2. Tradam portare.'] To deliver to the 
 winds is, of course, to dismiss from the mind, 
 as unworthy of regard. The phrase is Greek, 
 Qkptiv Fuxjoj — instead of portandos. 
 
 Protervis.] Wanton, or capricious — that 
 care not what they do, or where they carry 
 what is thrown to them. 
 
 Creticum.] Put for any sea. 
 
 3. Quis.] For quibus. 
 
 Sub Arcto.] Sub ursa. The construction 
 is, rex gelidce ores sub Arcto — of the Artie 
 region — or, more loosely, of the north — king 
 of the Scythians. 
 
 5. Unice securus.] Latterly careless by whom 
 (alluding to the Parthians) the king of the 
 cold extremities of the north is dreaded, and 
 what alarms Teridates. This allusion fixes 
 the composition 730 U. C. 
 
 Quid.] What danger ? 
 
 Teridatem.] At the time, Phraates, who 
 
 had been expelled from the Parthian throne 
 for his cruelties, was either returning, or had 
 returned, assisted by a king of the Scythians. 
 Teridates fled to Augustus, who was then in 
 Spain. Augustus would not assist him, but 
 refused, at the same time, to give him up, 
 when demanded by Phraates. 
 
 6. Fontibus integris.] Fresh — untouched 
 by any poet. Horace seems to allude to his 
 own Lyrics, and the phrase must be interpreted 
 in correspondence with novis fidibus and Les- 
 bio plectro below. Horace was the first Ro- 
 man who drank of these fountains — the first 
 who wrote Lyrics in Latin. 
 
 8. Necte meo, Sfc] Bind with sunny flowers 
 a chaplet — sing a song in honour of my friend. 
 
 9. Pimple'i.] Pimpleum, Lebethrum and 
 Pieria are mountains of Macedonia, (once with- 
 in the limits of Thrace,) and each had foun- 
 tains dedicated to the Muses. 
 
 Dulcis.] i)cvi-i)e, — sweet, from the charm 
 of her music. 
 
 Mei possiuit honores.] My songs are no- 
 thing without your inspiration. 
 
 10. Hunc] Lamias. He is one who deserves 
 to be honoured by you and your sisters. 
 
 Fidibus 7iovis.] With this new kind of lyre 
 — such as no Roman has before attempted.

 The poet, apparently in his quality of chair-

 for their intemperance and inclination to acts 
 of violence, and refuses to drink with them, 
 unless they return to more orderly behaviour. 
 The better to effect his purpose, he calls upon 
 
 one of the party to tell the name of his mis- 
 tress — to toast her, probably, as has been the 
 practice in modern times. Compare Anacreon

 Xkovai, according to Herodotus. The weapon 
 marked as exclusively the Persians, as the 
 pilum the Romans, &c. 
 
 6. Immane quantum disc] As immeasurably 
 as is possible — far as the poles asunder. 
 
 8. Remanete.] Keep your places, and not 
 be getting up to quarrel and fight. 
 
 Cubito.] The parties were, as usual, re- 
 clining — leaning on the left elbow. 
 
 Presso.] I. e. impresso — resting upon — 
 sunk into pillows. The pillow, so used, was 
 called a cubital. 
 
 9. Severi.] Falernian had a sharp flavour ; 
 but the allusion here is to the pure state, un- 
 diluted with water, and of course the more 
 intoxicating. 
 
 10. Dicat Opuntice, Sfc] The party must 
 be supposed to have taken his expostulations 
 in good part, and begged him to go on with 
 
 them ; to which he, resuming his good hu- 
 mour, consents, upon conditions. Megilla 
 must have been known to the party, and 
 was probably a general toast. 
 
 11. Quo beatus vulnere, Sfc] With what 
 wound, by what shaft is the happy man dying? 
 Of course a studied antithesis. 
 
 Beatus.] From reciprocal affection. 
 
 13. Cessat voluntas?] Megilla's brother 
 refuses. Is the will wanting ? Will he not ? 
 
 Alia mercede.] On no other terms will I 
 drink with him or you. 
 
 14. Venus.] His lady-love. 
 
 15. Erubescendis.] Be the Venus who she 
 may, she inflames you with no fires to be 
 ashamed of. She is not one to disgrace 
 you. 
 
 16. Ingenuoque semp. am. peccas.] Not se- 
 riously put, but in the sense of peccadillo. 
 If you are in love, it is with some one becom- 
 ing a gentleman. The phrase must be taken 
 as expressing the flippant sentiments of gal- 
 lantry. 
 
 17. Quidquid habes.] Whatever you have 
 to tell me — whoever it is you are in love 
 with. 
 
 Age, depone, fyc] Come, deposit the se- 
 cret in safe ears — in the ears of one who 
 will not betray it. Unsafe ones the poet calls 
 rimosce. Sat. ii. 6. 46. 
 
 18. Ah miser quanta, Sfc] Megilla's bro- 
 ther whispers the name, or tells it aloud. 
 Ah, wretched boy ! on what a Charybdis are 
 you wrecking — into what a whirlpool are you 
 rushing ! You will be devoured. The lady 
 is of course renowned for her rapacity. This 
 use of Charybdis is common with both orators 
 and poets. Quce Charybdis tarn vora.i ? Cic.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE XXVIII. METRE XIII. 
 
 Archytas of Tarentum, a disciple of Pytha- 
 goras, and skilled in astronomical and geome- 
 trical science, perishes by shipwreck. His 
 body, thrown on the shore of the Adriatic, is 
 found and recognised by a seaman, who mocks 
 him with the vanity of his pursuits. Archy- 
 tas, in reply, tells him, more favoured beings 
 than himself have died, and all must die ; and 
 then threatens him with the vengeance of the 
 Furies, if he does not cast a little dust upon his 
 corpse to enable his spirit to pass the Styx. 
 The poem is, apparently, an imitation of some 
 Greek composition. 
 
 1. Numeroque carentis arena.] Of the sand 
 which is without number — the grains of which 
 cannot be numbered. 
 
 3. Pulveris exigui, §c] A little dust's poor 
 power, or agency — a small space on the Ma- 
 tinum shore — the spot you cover with your 
 corpse, holds — confines you who aspired to 
 measure the world, &c. 
 
 Litus Matinum.] From a promontory cal- 
 led Matinus on the coast of Apulia. 
 
 4. Nee quidquam tibi, <yc] Nor avails it 
 you at all to have explored the heavens, and 
 scaled the concave, &c. 
 
 5. Animo.] Mentally — prosecuted your as- 
 tronomical studies. 
 
 6. Morituro.] Agrees with tibi — you that 
 were, after all, to die. This concludes the 
 address of the seaman. Then follows the reply 
 of Archytas, which continues to the end of the 
 piece. 
 
 7. Occidit et Pelop., <yc] The connection 
 is this — Do not wonder at my dying — Tanta- 
 lus died, though a guest of the Gods ; and 
 Tithonus, though carried to the skies ; and 
 Minos, though admitted to the counsels of 
 Jupiter ; and Pythagoras himself, though he 
 had two lives. All must die — some one way, 
 and some another. 
 
 Pelopis genitor.] Tantalus, a king of Ly-~ 
 dia, in Asia Minor, so opulent and munificent, 
 that he invited the Gods to a splendid feast, 
 and was entertained by them in return. Ovid. 
 Met. vi. 173.

 king of Troy. Aurora, enamoured of his

 getting to deprecate the approach of old age, 
 Tithonus, though slowly, wasted and wither-

 9. Minos.] King of Crete, who, because 
 he professed — probably to give the greater 
 sanction to his institutions — to have con- 
 sulted Jupiter, was said to have been admit- 
 ted, &c. 
 
 Arcanis.] An adjective — supply colloquiis, 
 or consiliis. 
 
 Habentque Tartara.] And Tartarus pos- 
 sesses Panthoides — Panthoides too is dead — 
 sent a second time to Orcus. 
 
 10. Panthoiden.] Euphorbus, the son of 
 Panthous — or Pythagoras, who, professing the 
 doctrine of a transmigration of spirits — that 
 is, that the souls of men passed at death from 
 one body to another — declared that he himself 
 had experienced one migration — for that in 
 the Trojan war, he was Euphorbus, the son 
 of Panthous ; and proved the fact to the satis- 
 faction of his friends, by challenging a shield, 
 in a temple near Mycenae, as the one he had 
 worn in the war, and which upon examina- 
 tion proved to have the name of Euphorbus 
 inscribed upon it. Ovid. Met. xv. 
 
 11. Quamvis, Sfc] Even Pythagoras is 
 now dead irrevocably — although, in his first 
 decease, he had given up to death nothing 
 but his nervos atque cutem, his body — attest- 
 ing, as he did, as Pythagoras, the fact of a 
 previous existence in the Trojan times. 
 
 14. Judice te.~] According to your own 
 opinion of him. The nauta recognised Archy- 
 lus, and Archylus it seems now knows him. 
 
 Non sordidus.] No contemptible — mean- 
 ing a great authority. 
 
 17. Furice.] Who mix in battles, and im- 
 pel the combatants to madness — to the delight 
 of Mars. Virgil. JEn. vii. 324. 
 
 Dant alios, fyc] All must die ; — some 
 perish in battle, some at sea, &c. 
 
 18. Avidum.] Grasping and devouring all. 
 
 19. Densentur.] Crowd together. A word 
 often used by Lucretius. 
 
 Nullum sceva caput P.] The sense is — 
 stern Proserpine passes by none — suffers none 
 to escape. None could die till she had dipt 
 off a lock of their hair. Virgil. JEn. iv. 698. 
 
 21. Devexi.] The setting Orion. The 
 Notus, the companion of the setting Orion, 
 which blows with violence at its setting. 
 A periphrasis for a storm. Virgil. iEn. vii. 
 719. 
 
 22. Obruit lllyricis.] Drowned me in the 
 Illyrian waves, or the Adriatic. See Od. i. 
 3. 15. for the power of the Notus in the 
 Adriatic. 
 
 25. Particulam dare.] According to the 
 prevailing opinion, that the soul of an un- 
 buried person could not cross the Styx, but 
 must roam along the banks, or hover round 
 the body a hundred years, till some portion 
 of earth, however small, had been cast upon 
 the corpse. To refuse so small a favour was 
 an act of peculiar atrocity. 
 
 Sic, fyc] If you do, then, I pray that the 
 forests of Venusia may be struck with what- 
 ever Eurus threatens the Hesperian waves — 
 that is, of course, instead of the Hesperian 
 waves — and you be safe, &c. Compare the 
 beginning of Od. i. 3.

 NOTES. 
 
 26. Venusinee.] Venusia — the birth-place 
 of Horace — is a town of Apulia, at the foot 
 of the Appenines, on the east — the forests of 
 which extended towards the shore, and near 
 enough to be seen by a person from Matinus. 
 
 Hesperiis.'] Must of course here mean the 
 Adriatic. All that was west of Greece was 
 by the Greeks called Hesperia. The Roman 
 poets take the language of the Greeks, though 
 no longer applicable to circumstances. 
 
 27. Multaque merces.] And may large 
 profits flow down upon you from Jupiter and 
 Neptune. The nauta then was a mercator. 
 
 28. Unde potest.] A quo — meaning from 
 Jupiter, from whom it can flow — who is able 
 to pour abundance upon you. 
 
 29. Tarenti.] Neptune was, especially, 
 the tutelary deity of Tarentum — a town 
 founded by his son Tarens ; and as Archytas 
 was apparently a native of Tarentum, he 
 appeals with peculiar propriety to him. 
 
 30. Negligis.] Are you indifferent about 
 committing a wrong which will entail mis- 
 chief upon your innocent offspring — will you 
 incur the risk — will you dare commit ? &c. 
 
 32. Debita jura.] The penalty due, or 
 deserved. 
 
 Vicesque.] A retribution for your contempt 
 of duty and humanity. Propert. i. 13. 10. 
 
 33. Precibus, fyc] Not in vain, or unex- 
 ecuted will be my imprecations, if you leave 
 me here unburied. 
 
 34. Teque piacula, fyc] No atonement 
 will redeem — will release you from the pe- 
 nalty. 
 
 35. Quamquam festinas, 8fc] Although 
 you are in haste, the delay will not be long — 
 it will not detain you long. 
 
 36. Injecto ter pulvere.] A handful of 
 dust thrice cast upon my corpse, and then 
 you may run. We yet retain the custom. 
 Curras is used in consonancy with festinas.

 ODE XXIX. METRE VIII. 
 
 Devoted, apparently, to literature, Iccius 
 suddenly resolves to turn soldier, and join the 
 expedition into Arabia Felix, under vElius 
 Gallus, 730 U. C. in the hope of sharing in 
 the anticipated spoils. The poet laughs at 
 his folly, and can no longer wonder at any 
 perversion of nature. In Ep. i. 12. Horace 
 addresses the same person, apparently long 
 after these lines were written, when Iccius 
 had returned, baffled in his views, and re- 
 
 siding in Sicily, as the agent of Maecenas in 
 the management of his estates in that coun- 
 try — still hankering after wealth. 
 
 1. Beatis — gazis.] Blessed treasures, as 
 if Iccius thought the possession of wealth en- 
 sured felicity. Gaza is a Persian word. 
 
 Nunc, Sfc] Emphatically, now — you, who 
 were so long absorbed in the studies of phi- 
 losophy, and indifferent about riches. The 
 Stoics were opposed, doctrinally, to all de- 
 sires.

 ODE XXX. METRE VI. 
 
 Glycera prepares a sacrifice to Venus, and 
 the poet prays the Goddess, with all her suite, 
 to honour it with her presence. A fragment 
 of Anacreon presents something very similar. 
 
 1. Gnidi J] A town on the coast of Caria, 
 opposite Rhodes, and famed for a magnificent 
 statue of Venus, by Praxiteles. 
 
 Paphi.] A town of Cyprus, the favourite 
 seat of the Goddess. 
 
 2. Sperne, fyc] Leave your beloved Cy- 
 prus, for a time, and come to Glycera's house. 
 
 Vocantis.~] To the house of Glycera, who 
 invites, or tempts you with abundance of 
 incense. 
 
 3. Decoram.~\ Trimmed for the occasion — 
 hung with flowers, &c. 
 
 5. Fervidus.] Who kindles and inflames. 
 
 Solutis Gratia zonis.~\ Without zones — 
 with ' zoneless waist,' — in graceful negli- 
 gence — with no appearance of elaborate de- 
 
 coration. The Gratiae are the constant attend- 
 ants of Venus. 
 
 6. Nymphce.] What nymphs is not obvious. 
 Nymphae is a generic term. Those of the 
 sea are Nereides — of fountains and streams, 
 Naiades — of woods, Dryades — of mountains, 
 Oreades — of flowers, Napeae. Hamadryades 
 are such as live and die with individual trees. 
 
 Que.'] It couples Gratiae and Nymphae. 
 The necessities of metre seem often to force 
 this conjunction from its natural position. 
 
 7- Parum comis, fyc] Youth derives all its 
 charms from you. Love makes the young 
 lovely. 
 
 Juventas.] "H/3>; is in the suite of Venus. 
 Horn. Hym. in Ap. 195. 
 
 8. Mercuriusque.] As the Deus \6yiog, 
 who makes love eloquent. Scis, sororem tuam 
 Venerem, sine Mercurii prcesentia nil usquam 
 fecisse — is the language of Venus herself.

 ODE XXXI. METRE VIII. 
 
 Written, apparently, upon some occasion of 
 public solemnity — probably the day on which 
 Octavius Caesar dedicated the temple of Apollo 
 on the Palatine, 726, U.C. Numbers, it may 
 be supposed, were offering their vows and 
 prayers for wealth and honours, while Horace, 
 less ambitiously disposed, presents a more 
 
 modest petition. Compare the sentiment in 
 Pind. Nem. viii. 63. 
 
 1. Dedicatum Apollinem.] Apollo, in whose 
 honour the new temple was dedicated. Or, 
 the statue of Apollo, newly erected and con- 
 secrated. 
 
 2. Fates.] Horace himself. What does 
 the poet ask — the same as the rest — of the 
 deity ?

 ODE XXXII. METRE VI. 
 
 A song is demanded of the poet by some 
 friend, and Horace invokes the lyre which 
 supplied Greek songs to Alcaeus, to sing him 
 a Latin one. 
 
 1. Poscimur.] Poscimus will not construe 
 with age, die, — has no congruity of syntax. 
 With poscimur the sense is consistent and 
 poetical. I am asked for a song — if ever, in 
 sport, we have done any thing together, assist 
 me now. 
 
 Vacui.~\ At leisure — in an idle hour. 
 
 Si quid Lusimus.] The common affecta- 
 tion of poets. Their most elaborate perform- 
 ances, are their sports and amusements. 
 
 Quid — quod.~\ A song that may last, not 
 this year only, but many. 
 
 3. Die Latinum, fyc] The lyre had done 
 the same thing in Greek. Horace repeatedly 
 speaks of himself as being the first poet who 
 introduced Greek measures into Latin versifi- 
 cation. 
 
 5. Modulate.'] Supply carmina, and take 
 modulate in the active sense. Who first sung 
 for Alcseus. Modulari carmina is, strictly, 
 what is called setting verses to music ; but 
 every where the phrase indiscriminately means 
 to play or sing, or both. 
 
 Lesbio — civi.] Alcaeus, a native of Lesbos, 
 an island in the iEgean Sea, opposite to the 
 
 iEolic coast of Asia Minor. He is said to 
 have expelled Pittacus, the tyrant of Mity- 
 lene, and to have been personally in numerous 
 battles. He was in his prime about 600 B. C. 
 
 6. Qui ferox, Sfc] Who, though a soldier 
 — though actively engaged in war, yet at all 
 times, whether, inter arma, with the army, 
 or when he had moored his ship to the shore 
 after a storm, sung of Bacchus, &c. 
 
 9. Illi semper licer. Puerum.] Cupid — the 
 inseparable companion of Venus. 
 
 11. Lycum.] Alcaeus seems to have made 
 Lycus the subject of his amatory eulogies, as 
 Anacreon did Bathyllus. 
 
 13. O decus Phoebi, Sfc] The construction 
 is, O testudo, decus Phoebi, et grata dap. sup. 
 Jovis — and welcome at the feasts of Jove. 
 $6pixiy% dairbc. kraigrj. Horn. II. i. 603. It 
 will be observed the barbiton is here called 
 testudo. Od. i. 1. 34. 
 
 15. Mihi cunque salve.] Supply esto. Be 
 propitious to me, cunque, at all times, when I 
 duly, with the respect which becomes me, 
 invoke your aid — or propose to touch your 
 strings. 
 
 Cunque.] Instead of quandocunque. 
 
 Salve] Salve is not only thus used in ad- 
 dressing those whom we wish to conciliate, 
 but also to express our satisfaction at any 
 occurrence which is agreeable to us.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE XXXIII. METRE III. 
 
 Horace exhorts Tibullus not to deplore so 
 common an occurrence, as the being jilted by 
 a mistress. Little cross-purposes of the kind 
 are the sports of Venus, who often thus ma- 
 liciously indulges her caprices. Tibullus is 
 the poet of that name, whose elegies still sur- 
 vive, and to which the epithet " miser abiles," 
 in its uncolloquial meaning, is strictly appli- 
 cable. 
 
 2. Immitis.] Who has no feeling for the 
 miseries which her cruelties create. Horace 
 probably hints that he has himself had some 
 personal experience of the lady's caprice. 
 
 Miserabiles.] Such as are descriptive of 
 wretchedness — plaintive. 
 
 3. Decantes.] The word implies repetition 
 — eternally singing. 
 
 Cur.] Instead of propterea quod; and 
 again in Ep. i. 8. 10. 
 
 Tibi junior Icesd preen.] Because a 
 younger man outshines you — or is preferred 
 by the perfidious girl. Tibullus himself 
 died at thirty ; — but old enough to have 
 experienced the mortification alluded to. 
 
 4. Lcesd — fide.] "With a girl who has 
 broken her faith with you. 
 
 5. Insignem, Sfc] The connection is — 
 your case is not by any means a new one — 
 Lycus loves Cyrus, and Cyrus prefers Pholoe, 
 and Pholoe herself detests Cyrus. 
 
 Tenui fronte.] A low forehead — or the 
 space between the hair and the brows. This, 
 in direct opposition to modern notions, was 
 regarded as a beauty by the Romans ; and 
 
 young women, accordingly, brought their 
 hair over the forehead, and cut it just above 
 the eye-brows, so that there was left, as 
 Lucian says, only /3pa%u ruj [xer(l)7r(^ jxtra- 
 t^juiov. Horace speaks of having, in his 
 younger days, nigros angusto fronte capillos, 
 Ep. i. 7- 26; and Martial has the phrase, 
 Frons brevis, iv. 42. 9. 
 
 7- Declinat.] Supply animum a Lycoridc 
 aversum. 
 
 9. Turpi adultero.] Cyrus — odious to her. 
 
 10. Sic visum Veneri.] Supply est. The 
 common expression for the will of the Gods. 
 Sic visum Superis. Ov. Met. i. 366. 
 
 Cui placet.] Who finds a pleasure in, &c. 
 Impares formas.] The handsome and the 
 ugly. 
 
 11. Animos — impares.] Tempers which 
 do not assimilate — or affections not mutually 
 placed. 
 
 Sub juga aenea.] To send them under 
 her brazen yoke by a cruel jest — to make 
 them go in the same harness — simply, to couple 
 them to the same yoke. 
 
 Aenea.] The word is used, as the author 
 uses adamant elsewhere, for hard or cruel — 
 a yoke hard to be borne or shaken off. 
 
 12. Scbvo cum joco.] The Greek x at P f ~ 
 KaKia — a malicious joy. 
 
 13. Melior Venus.] Better in temper, or 
 in caste, or in both, for Mycale was libertina 
 and a vixen. 
 
 15. Fretis acrior.] More stormy and wild 
 than the waves of the Adriatic, which curves 
 the Calabrian shores — or breaks upon them — 
 or winds along the broken shores.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE XXXIV. METRE VIII. 
 
 A burst of thunder with a cloudless sky 
 strikes the poet with an instantaneous con- 
 viction of the error of the Epicurean doctrine, 
 which he had entertained before — that the 
 Gods took no concern in the affairs of men. 
 Horace professes himself to be bound exclu- 
 sively by the dogmas of no particular sect. 
 Ep. i. 1. 14. 
 
 1. Parous, Sfc] Infrequens expresses that 
 Horace rarely frequented the temples ; and 
 parous, as the temples were not visited empty- 
 handed, may be supposed to apply to the 
 economy of his oblations. 
 
 2. Insanientis sapientice.] Instances of this 
 kind of antithesis are common enough, but 
 they deserve to be pointed out as they occur 
 — they shew the taste of the writer and the 
 times. 
 
 3. Consultus.~\ Consultus and consultor are 
 correlatives — the person consulted, and he 
 who consults him. Sat. i. 1. 10. and 17- The 
 consultus is the professor — the adept ; and 
 Horace describes himself as the professor of 
 a philosophy, or at least of a leading dogma 
 of that philosophy, which his new convictions 
 prompt him to characterize as insane. 
 
 Ret. vela dare.~\ To turn the sails in the 
 opposite direction — 'bout ship. 
 
 4. Iterare cursus, fyc] To turn upon the 
 ship's wake — or, in a landsman's metaphor, 
 to return upon, or tread back one's steps. 
 
 5. Diespiter.'] Diei, or lucis pater, ac- 
 cording to Varro, de Ling. Lat. Jupiter is 
 but a corruption of Zf vg 7rctTr]p. 
 
 6. Tgni corusco.] Jupiter, who with his 
 
 flashing fire generally cleaves clouds, has just 
 driven his thundering car through a pure and 
 cloudless sky. Thunder in a clear sky was 
 regarded as a deviation from the course of 
 nature — as a matter of evil omen, and re- 
 quiring expiation accordingly. Horn. Od. xx. 
 114. Virg. Georg. i. 487- Sueton. Tit. 10. 
 
 9. Qtw.] By which car, i. e. by the mo- 
 tionof the car, which caused the thunder. 
 
 Bruta.] Or iners, as Horace has it, Od. 
 iii. 4. 45. — what has no spontaneous move- 
 ment — opposed to the vaga flumina, which are 
 ever in motion. 
 
 10. Tcenarl] A promontory of Laconia, 
 where was a cave, through which was sup- 
 posed to be a descent to Tartarus. Here 
 used for Tartarus itself. 
 
 Invisi.] Hateful alike to Gods and men — 
 pallida regna Diis invisa. Virg. jEii. viii. 245. 
 
 11. Atlanteusque finis.] The remotest 
 regions of the earth ; for Atlas was of old 
 regarded as the western limit of the world. 
 
 12. Valet, Sfc] After such a miraculous 
 event, I have no farther doubts — the Deity is 
 able to make the lowest the highest, &c. 
 
 13. Insignem attenuat.] 'Ptla d' api£/j\ov

 14. Obscura promens.] Bringing into light 
 the obscure. 
 
 Hinc apicem.] From one the tiara, or 
 crown, &c. 
 
 Rapax.] Expressive of the violence of the 
 Goddess. 
 
 15. Fortuna.] The Goddess, whose office 
 it is to execute upon every one the decrees of 
 the supreme Deity. 
 
 Cum stridore acuto.] The Goddess is

 of her flight.

 ODE XXXV. METRE VIII. 
 
 The poet supplicates Fortune — the Goddess 
 who is able to uplift the lowly, and humble 
 the mighty ; whose favours all court, and 
 whose frowns all deprecate ; whose flat is ir- 
 resistible, and whose adverse stroke is the 
 touchstone of the true and false — to preserve 
 Caesar, who is himself on the point of march- 
 ing against the Britons, and the arms which 
 he is despatching to the East, and not visit 
 upon either the crimes of the still recent civil 
 dissensions. 
 
 1. Gratum qua regis Antium.~\ Who reign 
 at Antium — in the same sense as Venus is 
 described, regina Gnidi Paphique. Od. i. 
 30. 1. 
 
 Antium.] The temple of Fortuna Equestris, 
 at Antium, was one of great celebrity — An- 
 tium is in consequence regarded as a favourite 
 residence. Now Anzo Rovinato. 
 
 Gratum.] Welcome, or agreeable to her, 
 from the peculiar respect paid to her there. 
 
 2. Prcesens.] Able at once — at a stroke. 
 Those who bring present, bring the quickest 
 help. 
 
 Imo tollere, Sfc] To lift men from the 
 lowest condition, and, by implication, place 
 them in the highest. 
 
 3. Mortale corpus.] Mortals — men. 
 
 4. Vertere, fyc] To change victories into 
 defeats. 
 
 5. Te pauper, Sfc] Poor and rich, the bar- 
 barian and the Roman, cities and nations 
 
 and kings reverence and dread, &c. Com- 
 pare Pind. Olymp. 12. 
 
 Sollicita prece.] With an anxious prayer 
 for the produce of his fields. 
 
 6. Ruris colonus.] The poor cultivator of 
 the soil courts your smile. 
 
 Te, dorninam, fyc] You, the mistress of 
 the sea, the merchant ambit. An ancient 
 figure of the Goddess had a cornucopia in one 
 hand, and a rudder in the other, which, per- 
 haps, suggested the husbandman and sailor. 
 
 7> Bithyna carina.] In a vessel trading to 
 Bithynia, on the southern coasts of the 
 Euxine and Propontis, to which the commo- 
 dities of the East were brought. 
 
 Lacessit.] Braves the Carpathian. The 
 word implies defiance — a knowledge of the 
 dangers, with a resolution to run all hazards. 
 
 8. Carpathium.] The sea between Rhodes 
 and Crete — so called from the island Carpa- 
 thus, which lies between them. The Roman 
 merchants, who sailed by the south of Crete, 
 must pass through this portion of the Archi- 
 pelago in their way to Bithynia. 
 
 9. Dacus.] The Daci occupied the north- 
 ern bank of the Lower Danube, towards the 
 mouth of it ; and were long troublesome to 
 the Romans, by their frequent incursions 
 across the river. 
 
 Profugi.] The Scythians were nomadic, 
 and appear to be called profugi, f-om their 
 roving habits — without settled residence. 
 Compare Od. iii. 24. 9. 
 
 10. Latium ferox.] Brave and bold. La-

 tium was the country along the left bank of

 used for the Romans generally. 
 
 11. Matres.] Bellaque matribus detestata. 
 Od. i. 1. 24. 
 
 12. Tyranni.] Asiatic kings, and especi- 
 ally, perhaps, Phraates, the king of the Par- 
 tisans, who had recently expelled Teridates. 
 
 Purpurei.'] Clothed in purple — in scarlet 
 rather. 
 
 13. Injurioso.] Violent, destructive. High 
 winds are injuriosi. Epod. 17- 34. 
 
 Proruas.] In an active sense — lest you 
 should dash down. 
 
 14. Stantem columnam.] The pillar of 
 power. The royal authority, while firm and 
 flourishing, is compared to a column erect. 
 
 Populus frequens.] The collected — assem- 
 bled people. 
 
 15. Cessantes.] Those who hesitate, or 
 are less prompt than the insurgents require. 
 
 Ad arma, 8fc] The repetition of the word 
 is used mimetically — it is the cry of the in- 
 surgents for others to join them. Virg. iEn. 
 ii. 668. 
 
 17- Te semper, fyc] Necessitas is here the 
 attendant of Fortune, preceding her, as a lictor 
 the consul, and furnished with instruments 
 to enforce and execute her stern commands. 
 These are not instruments of punishment, but 
 of force and power — symbols of executive 
 efficiency. Horace had, probably, some piece 
 of allegorical sculpture in his eye. 
 
 18. Manu aena.] Strong hand — brazen 
 is common in this sense. 
 
 Clavos trabales.] Spikes to hold bulky 
 timbers together. Trabali clavofigere is pro- 
 
 verbial for securing a thing firmly. Cic. Verr. 
 v. 21. 
 
 Cuneos.] Not to split with ; but to drive into 
 joinings or seams — to make all tight and steady- 
 by the insertion and consequent compression. 
 
 19. Severus zmcus.] A clamp for holding 
 stones firmly together. Virgil calls amnis Eu- 
 menidum severus, which confines. Mn. vi. 374 . 
 
 20. Liquidumque plumbum.] Used for 
 soldering, with the clamp, to bind the firmer. 
 This impersonation of necessitas, and these 
 potent instruments, designate nothing but the 
 forceful and invincible power of fortune. 
 
 21. Te Spes, Sfc] You, when adverse, 
 Hope and Faith desert not, like the common 
 herd, and the heartless harlot, &c. In ad- 
 versity appears the fidelity of the true friend, 
 and the perfidy of the false one. Some ob- 
 scurity is occasioned by the victims of fortune 
 being represented by fortune herself. 
 
 Spes.] Hope adheres to adversity, to cheer

 23. Utcunque.] For quandocunque, when-

 Mutata teste.] Good fortune must be 
 supposed to be clothed in a splendid dress, and 
 bad in a miserable one.

 ODE XXXVI. METRE II. 
 
 Plotius is just returned in safety from Spain, 
 and Horace, in his joy at the news, proposes 
 a merry meeting of his old companions, and 
 among them, especially Lamia, his oldest and 
 dearest friend, to celebrate the happy event. 
 The lines are addressed rather to Lamia than 
 to Plotius. Nothing can be affirmed with any 
 certainty of this Plotius. The return thus 
 commemorated may have been from exile, or 
 
 from service — the latter probably. Augustus 
 had been engaged three years in the Canta- 
 brian war, and returned 731 U. C. Nothing, 
 again, indicates that he is the same person as 
 Plotius the poet, thrice coupled with Varius 
 by Horace, Sat. i. 5. and 10 ; and, indeed, in 
 some MSS. and editions, the name of Pompo- 
 nius appears instead of Plotius.

 vow made for the safety of Numida. In 
 Ep. 1. 3. 36. Horace tells his friend, Julius 
 Floras, he is fatting a calf for the same pur- 
 pose. 
 
 3. Custodes Nian. Deos.~\ Tutelary deities 
 of Numida, or the deities who protect travel- 
 lers by sea and land — Castor and Pollux, or 
 Mercury. 
 
 4. Ab ultim&.~\ Not the farthest part of 
 Spain, any more than ultima Africa (Od. ii. 
 18. 4.) means the extremity of Africa; but, 
 simply, distant Spain, in reference to Italy. 
 Augustus had met with a stout resistance from 
 the Cantabri, in the north of Spain ; and the 
 term sospes may be expressive of the perils of 
 this long warfare, on the supposition, for it 
 is no more, that Plotius had been with 
 Augustus. 
 
 7- Memor acta, fyc] Mindful of their boy- 
 hood, spent under the same (non alio) pre- 
 ceptor or guardian. 
 
 8. Puertice.] For pueritice. A contraction 
 of syllables not uncommon in Horace, as well 
 as in other poets ; as, lamna, surpite, surrexe, 
 &c. 
 
 9. Mutataque simul toga.] And of their 
 toga, changed at the same time. They were, 
 therefore, of the same age. The toga viri- 
 lis was assumed on the entrance into the 
 seventeenth year. The toga puerilis, or 
 pratexta, was edged with scarlet; in the 
 toga virilis, or pura, that edging was re- 
 moved. 
 
 10. Cressd, 8fc] Let not such a joyful day

 Cretan, perhaps from the custom of thus

 nating in Crete; or [(chalk, from the su- 
 
 perior quality of the Cretan lime-stone. Sat.

 11. Promtce modus amp.'] Construe with 
 sit, from the next line. Let there be no limit- 
 ing of the amphora brought from the cellar — 
 no stinting of the wine. 
 
 12. Neu requies pedum.] Nor rest to the 
 feet — let there be no cessation to the dancing. 
 
 Morem in Solium.] Saliorum. The priests 
 of Mars, who, according to the institutions of 
 Numa, per urbem ire canentes carmina cum 
 tripudiis solemnique saltatione jussi sunt. Liv. 
 i. 20. 
 
 13. Multi Damalis meri.] Accustomed to 
 drink a large quantity of wine, or capable of 
 doing so. 
 
 14. Bassum vincat.] Nor let Damalis, with 
 all her capacity, out-drink Bassus. Bassus, it 
 should seem, upon occasion, could drink as 
 deep as the lady ; but it is difficult to enter 
 into the coarse habits of the times. 
 
 Amystide.] In Hesychius dfivarig is ex- 
 plained by (Twex^Q tcogiq, a continuous draft 
 — what is drunk at a pull ; which seems to 
 give the sense of Anacreon's phrase, irivtiv 
 dfivcrri, xxi. 2. 
 
 Threicid amyst.] Thracian bumpers. Com- 
 pare a fragment of Callimachus, 109. 
 
 16. Vivax.] What preserves its freshness 
 longer than other plants or flowers of which 
 wreaths were made — opposed to the breve 
 lilium. 
 
 17. Putres.] Gloating — the effect as much 
 of intoxication as of passion. 
 
 18. Deponent, Sfc] All will fix their lasci- 
 vious eyes upon Damalis, but she will not be 
 torn from her new friend, Numida.

 ODE XXXVII. METRE VIII. 
 
 Horace exults at the death of Cleopatra, as 
 delivering Rome from all the perils which 
 threatened the Capitol, sedulously abstaining 
 from all allusion to Antony. 724 U. C. Com- 
 pare Epod. 9. Alcaeus begins a poem in the 
 same way, on the death of Myrsilus. Athen. 
 x. 8. 
 
 1. Nunc.'] The word is repeated thrice for 
 greater emphasis. Now, if ever, on such joy- 
 ful intelligence. 
 
 Libero.] No longer in danger of captivity — 
 of being subjected to a foreign conqueror. 
 
 2. Saliaribus.] The arrangements on these 
 festive occasions seem to have belonged to the 
 Saliares, or Salii (supply sacerdotes.) Od. i. 
 36. 12. The dapes were proverbial for their 
 splendour and magnificence — Epulari Salia- 
 rem in modum. Cic. Att. v. 9. 
 
 3. Ornare pulvinar, fyc] Now indeed, if 
 ever there was a time, it is one for a lectister- 
 nium — a feast in honor of the Gods, at which 
 the Gods were supposed to be present, and to 
 partake. 
 
 Pulvinar.] Strictly, the couch or divan, on 
 which the effigy of the deity reclined — put for 
 the temple. 
 
 4. Tempus erat.] The past tense seems to 
 
 imply that the occasion was slipping by — that 
 time had been lost. 
 
 5. Antehac, Sfc] Before this happy event, 
 it would have been a crime — a profanation, to 
 bring out, &c. 
 
 Ccecubum.] The best wines. Od. i. 20. 9. 
 
 6. Cellis avitis.] Filled with wines by our 
 fathers — old wines. The celke were at the 
 top of the house. 
 
 Dum Capitolio, <yc] "While the queen, 
 (Cleopatra,) with her crew of eunuchs, was 
 threatening the Capitol with ruin, and the em- 
 pire with destruction, &c. No such destruc- 
 tion, apparently, was intended; but it suits 
 the poet's views so to represent the transfer 
 of the seat of government to Alexandria, 
 which Cleopatra, it is said, contemplated. 
 
 7- Dementes.] That shewed the madness 
 of the projector. 
 
 10. Quidlibet impotens.] Impotens expresses 
 the absence of self-control. She put no li- 
 mits to her expectations. She dared to con- 
 ceive the possibility of making Alexandria 
 the capital of the Roman empire — that Antony 
 would yield up every thing to her. 
 
 Morbo, fyc] Morbus, as voaoq with the 
 Greeks, is used for corporal defects, and the 
 indulgence of irregular passions.

 with her good fortune — with the prospect of 
 possessing the Roman empire, from her in- 
 fluence over Antony. 
 
 12. Sed minuit furorem, Sfc] But scarcely- 
 one ship escaping from the flames in the battle 
 of Actium — that checked her fury — damped 
 her hopes. 
 
 13. Una navis.~\ This applies to Antony's 
 fleet, almost the whole of which was burnt. 
 Cleopatra had fled early in the engagement 
 with sixty ships, and Antony finally followed 
 in his own vessel — which vessel may be al- 
 luded to here. 
 
 14. Mentemque lymp., fyc] The sense is, 
 — Caesar, by rapidly pursuing her, as she fled 
 from Italy, changed the imaginary terror, 
 through which she had stolen from the battle, 
 into a real one, &c. This imaginary fear the 
 poet expresses by mentem lymphatam Mare- 
 otico. 
 
 Lymphatam, Sfc] Lymphatus, or vvfi<p6- 
 \r}7TTog, is properly one frightened out of his 
 wits at the sight of a water-nymph. The 
 word by degrees was applied to any one in 
 any way panic-struck ; and here to Cleopatra, 
 who had fled before there was any real occa- 
 sion. Her groundless alarm Horace con- 
 temptuously ascribes, or perhaps only com- 
 pares, to the effect of intoxication. 
 
 Mentemque.'] Mentem is not in agreement 
 with lymphatam, but depends on a preposition 
 understood, as grammarians phrase it. Her 
 senses betrayed her — she was as if she had 
 been intoxicated with wine. 
 
 Mareotico.] Wine the growth of the neigh- 
 
 bourhood of the Lake Mareotis, to the south 
 of Alexandria. 
 
 16. Ab Italia.] To which Antony's fleet 
 was going, when it was encountered by Octa- 
 vius Caesar, off Actium, now Azio, on the 
 coast of Epirus.

 king of the name of Hcemon. 
 
 Daret ut, fyc] Pursuing her, to throw her 
 into chains, to take her prisoner.

 terms are strong enough to express the poet's 
 horror of Cleopatra's designs. 
 
 Qua;.] But she (Cleopatra). 
 
 Generosius Perire quarens, Sfc] Desiring 
 to perish more nobly than in the captivity 
 that awaited her, she neither, in a womanish 
 manner, was frightened at a sword, nor did 
 she seek to escape to other shores, &'c. 
 
 23. Expavit ensem.] When Proculeius 
 went to conduct her to Caesar, she snatched 
 up a sword to kill herself, which could with 
 difficulty be wrenched from her. Plut. in

 she attempt, as with her fleet she might have 
 done, to fly where she might have concealed 
 herself. 
 
 25. Ausa et, fyc] Both firm enough to 
 behold her fallen (regiam) power, and brave 
 enough to handle and irritate serpents, that

 ODE I. METRE VIII. 
 
 While engaged with his history of the civil 
 wars, Pollio seems to have suspended his la- 
 bours, to write a tragedy : and Horace's object 
 appears to have been to persuade him to give 
 up all other engagements, literary and poli- 
 tical, till he has completed the work from 
 which the poet anticipates the highest gratifi- 
 cation. Pollio's History is lost; but honor- 
 able mention is made of it by Tacitus, (Ann. 
 iv. 34.) Suetonius, (Cses. 30.) and Appian, 
 (de B. C.) Pollio himself Virgil eulogizes in 
 his fourth and eighth Eclogues. 
 
 1. Ex Metello.] Metellus Celer, apparently, 
 who was consul with Afranius, U. C. 694, the 
 memorable year of the compact entered into 
 by Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus, to which are 
 usually referred the sources of the subsequent 
 wars. Cato said they sprang not from the 
 quarrels, but from the union of these men. 
 But Q. Metellus Scipio, who was Pompey's 
 colleague during a part of his third consulate, 
 U. C. 702, may be the person here meant. 
 He it was who proposed the law, by which 
 absent candidates for office (aiming the blow 
 at Caesar,) were declared ineligible, and which 
 by Suetonius is expressly assigned as the cause 
 of the wars. Horace, however, here speaks 
 
 of principum amicitias as the cause, which 
 seems to connect the matter with the con- 
 sulate of Metellus Celer. 
 
 Motum.] Civil commotion, and the sources 
 of it. But motum, apparently, is a participle, 
 agreeing with helium, expressed in the next 
 line. The civil war, which had its sources 
 (motum) in the year Metellus was consul, 
 and the causes, or perhaps pretexts, of that 
 war, &c. 
 
 2. Vitia."] The faults — wrongs — the bad 
 passions out of which the war sprang. Pom- 
 pey could not bear an equal, nor Caesar a supe- 
 rior ; — or the blunders committed, especially 
 by Pompey. 
 
 Modos.] The conduct of the chiefs in the 
 disposal of their forces — the way in which 
 the war was prosecuted. 
 
 3. Ludumque Fortunes.] The vicissitudes 
 of the war — the checquered events, as if they 
 were the sport of fortune. 
 
 Graves.] Destructive to the empire. 
 
 5. Nondum expiatis.] From this expres- 
 sion the Ode must have been written before 
 the second of the First Book, where Horace 
 asks — cui dabit partes scelus expiandi Jupiter 
 — and when that expiation was on the point 
 of being formally made by Augustus. 
 
 Uncla.] Smeared — still wet with gore.

 6. Periculosce, <yc] The poet is not warn- 
 ing Pollio of the dangers or resentments he 
 is likely to incur from the free discussion of 
 his subject, or the difficulties of the undertak- 
 ing — that would be \o deter, when obviously 
 Horace's object is to urge him to a speedy 
 completion of it. No, he is speaking only of 
 the peculiarities of the war, full of hazards, 
 and chances, and treacheries. 
 
 Opus alece.] Simply, the civil war; because 
 in it, as in the turns of the dice, much de- 
 pended upon Fortune — as if more so than in 
 foreign wars. 
 
 7- Incedis per ignes, §c] You are treading 
 upon fires — you are describing a war, where 
 perils and woes burst forth suddenly, as flames 
 from under ashes. . 
 
 8. Doloso.] Under which treachery lurked. 
 
 9. Musa tragcedice desit.'] Let the Muse of 
 tragedy, Melpomene, for awhile be absent 
 from the stage. Suspend the tragedy you are 
 writing. 
 
 10. Ubi pub. res ordin.~] When you shall 
 have completed your History. The phrase 
 has no reference to official duties. Pollio was 
 consul U. C. 714 ; and there can be little doubt 
 these lines were written some years after- 
 wards, perhaps not till after Antony's death ; 
 for though Pollio did not join Antony in his 
 final quarrel with Octavius Caesar, he was too 
 closely connected with him to be cordially 
 liked by Caesar, and that alone would have 
 checked the poet's eulogies. 
 
 11. Grande munus, fyc] You shall resume 
 the important office — you shall return to dra- 
 matic composition. 
 
 12. Cecropio coihurno.~\ With the Cecro- 
 
 pian buskin — dressed in it. The cothurnus 
 was the high-heeled boot worn by tragedians, 
 opposed to the soccus, sock, a low-heeled one, 
 worn by comic performers. The terms were 
 in use respectively for tragedy and comedy. 
 
 Cecropio.] Athenian. The chief tragic 
 writers were all Athenians, or figured at 
 Athens. 
 
 13. Praesidium, fyc.~] The protector, on 
 whose eloquence rely those who are the sub- 
 ject of perilous prosecutions. You shall be 
 again their distinguished defender. 
 
 Moestis.] From the hazards to which they 
 are exposed. 
 
 14. Consulenti curies.] On whose senti- 
 ments the Senate, in their deliberations, chiefly 
 confide. You shall again sway the debates of 
 the Senate. 
 
 Pollio.] Alike eminent as an orator, a 
 statesman, and a soldier. The poet seems to 
 urge Pollio to suspend not only his dramatic 
 writings, but all public duties and pursuits, 
 till he has completed his History. 
 
 16. Dalmatico.] For his victory at Salona 
 over the Partheni, an Illyrian tribe, who had 
 revolted, and against whom Pollio was des- 
 patched by Antony. 
 
 17- Jam nunc, 8fc] Recurring to Pollio's 
 history, the poet expresses his own anticipa- 
 tions — my ears already ring with the braying 
 of the trumpets, &c. 
 
 19. Fugaces.] Flying with terror. The 
 horses startle at the flashing of the weapons, 
 and the riders turn pale at the impending 
 perils. 
 
 21. Audire videor, 8fc] I seem to hear — 
 supply pugnare. Od. iii. 4. 6. — not simply to 
 read, but to hear and see what is described — 
 from the truth and vivacity of the description.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE II. METRE VI. 
 
 The beauty of riches is the good use of 
 them. A passion for wealth is insatiable, 
 nor will the possession of it secure happiness. 
 The poem is addressed to Sallustius, the 
 nephew of the historian, and indirectly com- 
 pliments him on his wise employment of the 
 riches inherited from his rapacious uncle. 
 Compare Theocritus xvi. 22. 
 
 1. Nullus argento color, fyc] It is deprived 
 of its beauty and value. 
 
 Avaris abdito terris.'] Buried in the 
 ground by misers. Avaris is a dative, and 
 used instead of ab avaris. The poet's purpose 
 is not to speak of the earth as guarding, like 
 a miser, its treasures, but to contrast the 
 hoarders, who bury their money, with Sallust, 
 who makes a generous use of it. 
 
 2. Lamnce.] Instead of lamina. Silver or 
 gold run into plates or bars — used here con- 
 temptuously for money. 
 
 3. Crispe Sail.'] He enjoyed the confidence, 
 or at least was honoured with the familiar 
 society, of both Augustus and Tiberius, and 
 died at an advanced age, 21 A. D. Tacitus 
 describes him as a man of great taste and 
 elegance, studying his personal indulgence, 
 and keeping aloof from office ; not from want 
 of talents for public business, but from love of 
 ease and enjoyment. Ann. iii. 30. 
 
 Nisi ternperato, Sfc] The clause depends 
 not upon nullus argento, &c. but inimice lamnee. 
 Sallust, the enemy of money — you who have 
 no regard for it, unless it shines with a well- 
 regulated use. There is no beauty in money 
 buried — none, unless it is well employed. 
 
 Nisi splendeat, ^-c] Unless its colour is 
 made conspicuous, &c. 
 
 Ternperato.] A regulated — a right use. 
 
 5. Proculeius, Sfc] Proculeius is one who 
 has made a generous use of his wealth, and 
 will live in an age extended beyond his own, 
 or for ever in the memory of men. He will 
 be eternally celebrated. Proculeius was a 
 Roman knight, a friend of Augustus — present 
 at the battle of Actium, and accompanied him 
 to Egypt. His two brothers had lost their 
 property in the civil wars, and he nobly shared 
 his own with them. 
 
 7- Metuente solvi.] To mark the eternity 
 of fame, or rather that of Proculeius's gene- 
 rosity. Fame is represented as a winged God- 
 dess. The wing fears, and so is more care- 
 ful, and does not relax. Metuere, like fv\aT- 
 TeoSai with the Greeks, is used as a peri- 
 phrasis for non or nunquam. 
 
 8. Superstes.] The word strictly belongs to 
 Proculeius ; it is here employed with Fama, 
 but the sense is obvious. 
 
 9. Latius regnes, fyc] You may be freer, 
 more independent, more able to act as you 
 please, by checking a grasping spirit, than if, 
 &c. For the more you acquire, the more you 
 desire, and thus come under the complete 
 dominion of your passions. 
 
 11. Uterque Poenus, fyc] The two Car- 
 tilages, one in Africa, the other in Spain — or 
 rather, the poet couples Africa and Spain. 
 
 13. Crescit, Sfc] Avarice is like the 
 dropsy — indulgence does not quench thirst 
 till the cause of the disease, or the disease 
 itself has left the veins. This is said under 
 a misapprehension. The dropsical are not

 in Horace, Persian is used for Parthian and 
 Mede.

 or in contradiction to the untaught vulgar. 
 
 19. Virtus.] Assuming the tone and lan-

 Eximit, SfC.] Takes from the number — 
 does not reckon them among the happy. 
 Phraates, though restored to his throne, is 
 not on that account to be regarded as blessed.

 people not to use false names — corrects their 
 wrong impressions about human happiness.

 Diadema tutum.] What cannot be taken 
 away — plucked from the brows, as it had 
 been from Phraates, and might be again.

 Propriam.] Permanent and peculiar — to

 ing askance, like envious people.

 ODE III. METRE VIII. 
 
 Dellius, it must be supposed, was out of 
 spirits on account of some untoward circum- 
 stances, and being equally liable to be over- 
 excited by the smiles of fortune, the poet bids 
 him preserve his equanimity ; for do what he 
 may, he must die, whether he lives gloomy or 
 cheerful. On the same ground, as also in 
 Ocl. i. 4. and 9. Horace urges upon him the 
 enjoyment of the blessings before him, for at 
 last he must leave all behind — all must die, 
 the noble and the mean, the rich and the poor. 
 Quintus Dellius, well known in the civil wars, 
 (bellorum civilium desultor, Sen. Suas. i. fi.) 
 
 successively siding with Cassius, Antony, and 
 Augustus, was probably the friend whom Ho- 
 race addresses, though there is nothing to 
 identify him, but the susceptibility, which, 
 however, implies unsteadiness of conduct. 
 
 1. Mquam.] Consistent and steady — not 
 readily thrown from its balance, but bearing

 Interiore.] Descriptive of its position in 
 the wine cellar — in some recess — to distin- 
 guish it from commoner kinds. If the most re- 
 mote part of the cellar were meant, the oldest 
 wine might be implied, but then it would 
 be the most inaccessible : no doubt, superior

 dence. The villa expresses the other build- 
 ings of a country establishment — storehouses,

 ODE IV. METRE VI. 
 
 Achilles, Ajax, and Agamemnon, could 
 none of them resist the beauty of their cap- 
 tives. Why should Xanthias be ashamed of 
 yielding to the charms of Phyllis 1 They 
 were indeed princesses, but may not Phyllis 
 be one likewise ? Her beauty, faith, dis- 
 interestedness, prove her to be of no ignoble 
 origin, &c. 
 
 1. Ancillce.] A female slave — one who, 
 apparently, had fallen into the hands of 
 Xanthias, by the rights of war. 
 
 Amor pudori.] Do not be ashamed of 
 your love for your slave. 
 
 2. Xanthia Phoceu.] Xanthias is a Greek 
 name, and Phoceus describes him, probably, 
 as a native of Phocis. 
 
 Prius.] Before your time — long ago. If 
 the word prius be coupled with insolentem, 
 there will be no connection with the first 
 clause, and Horace's indisputable meaning 
 will be thus obscured. Do not be ashamed 
 of the fact, you are not the first — the oldest 
 and bravest heroes did the same thing before 
 you. 
 
 Insolentem.] The word is expressive of 
 Achilles' stern and severe character — not 
 wont, or likely to yield readily to the softer 
 passions, or to be mastered by them. 
 
 3. Serva.] By the rights of war. 
 Briseis.] The patronymic of Hippodamia 
 
 — a captive who had fallen to the lot of 
 Achilles in the division of spoil. Horn. II. ii. 
 690. Briseis was seized by Agamemnon on 
 his quarrel with Achilles. 
 
 Niveo colore.] With her snowy beauties —

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE V. METRE VII. 
 
 The poet dissuades some friend from the 
 pursuit of young Lalage — comparing her, 
 in the language of, probably, some Greek 
 poet, whom he was translating or imitating — 
 to a young heifer ; and next, with a confusion 
 of metaphor very unusual with him, to un- 
 ripe grapes. 
 
 1. Nondum subactd.~\ Not yet broken to 
 the yoke. 
 
 2. Munia comparis, fyc] Not yet able to 
 take an equal share in the labours of a yoke- 
 fellow. 
 
 3. Nee tauri, Sfc] The taste of the ancients 
 did not revolt from these coarse allusions. 
 Aristophanes has even aTavpiorog for a 
 maiden. 
 
 5. Tu<z juvencce, fyc] Of your heifer, La- 
 lage. Her soul is in the green meadows — 
 she is thinking of nothing but the fresh pas- 
 tures. Anacreon 61. 
 
 7- Solantis.'] Agreeing with juvencce — 
 assuaging the oppressive heat, by standing in 
 the brooks. 
 
 8. In udo salicto.] In the willow copses 
 by the streams. 
 
 Ludere.] To play with the calves. 
 
 9. Prcegestientis.] Anticipating the plea- 
 sure of frisking with them among the willows. 
 Analogously Catullus uses prcctrepidare, 46. 
 
 10. Immitis uv<b.] Unripe grapes. So 
 Theocritus, <piaoioT(oa o/x^ajcoc. lofiaq. *0/a- 
 QaKiQ and 7r£7mpoi, unripe and ripe, are 
 
 common with Greek poets, for innubiles and 
 nubiles. 
 
 Jam tibi, fyc] Soon will autumn tinge 
 the pale clusters with a dark blue — will ripen 
 them — will mature Lalage for you, &c. 
 
 Lividos.] Pale — the unripe colour. 
 
 12. Purpureo varius, Sfc] With her vivid 
 colours, varying, will autumn tinge, &c. Pur- 
 pureus is every where used for brilliancy or 
 intensity of colour, of whatever hue it may be. 
 
 13. Jam te sequetur.] Soon, instead of 
 flying from you, as now, she will seek you of 
 her own accord. 
 
 Currit enim, Sfc] Compare Anacreon, iv. 8. 
 
 Ferox cetas, fyc] Age, or time generally — 
 not the age of the girl — but Time, which, Ho- 
 race says, runs rapidly, and will give to the 
 age of the girl the years which it takes from 
 your life — Time, (ferox), which nothing can 
 stay or check — which presses resistlessly on 
 in his course.

 tulant brows, &c. — resuming the old metaphor.

 loved, as much as not — that is more than — 
 more beloved than Pholoe, &c. 
 
 Fugax.] There is little occasion for the in- 
 terchange so often recommended, of fugax in 
 this line, and ferox in line 13. The sugges- 
 tion sprang from the wrong interpretation of 
 cetas. In Ode i. 33. Pholoe will have nothing 
 to do with Cyrus — which is rather confirma- 
 tive of the propriety of the epithet fugax, if

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE VI. METRE VI. 
 
 The poet, who has entire confidence in 
 Septimius, as in one who had been ready to 
 go with him to the world's end, expresses a 
 wish to spend his old age at Tibur, but if the 
 fates forbade, they would go together to Ta- 
 rentum, and when he died, Septimius would 
 there wet the ashes of his friend with tears. 
 It was, probably, the same Septimius in 
 whose favour, Ep. i. 9. was written, as a 
 letter of introduction to Tiberius, upon his 
 going to the east, U. C. 734. There is no 
 sufficient evidence to shew that the Titius 
 whom Horace enquires about, Ep. i. 3. 9. 
 and speaks of as one likely to equal Pindar, 
 is this Septimius. 
 
 1. Aditure.] You who were ready to go 
 with me to Gades or the Cantabri, &c. 
 Horace may have talked of going into Spain, 
 and Septimius, in consequence, and in the 
 ardour of friendship, have offered to accom- 
 pany him — an offer which he here declines, 
 and expresses his desire to close his days at 
 Tibur or Tarentum. 
 
 2. Cantabrum.] The Spaniards of the 
 north of Spain — Asturias, Biscay, &c. 
 
 Indoctum.] Yet untaught to bear our 
 yoke — not yet fully subdued. They were 
 defeated once, U. C. 729, by Augustus, again 
 731 by him, and finally broken down to 
 submission by Agrippa 734. Comp. Od. iii. 
 8.22. 
 
 3. Syrtes.] Od. i. 22. 5. 
 
 Maura.] Loosely for African. The Syr- 
 tes are on the coast of Tripoli, which was not 
 within the limits of Mauritania. 
 
 5. Tibur, Sfc] Founded by the Argive 
 colonist. Od. i. 7- and 18. I hope that Tibur 
 may be the seat of my old age. 
 
 Argeo.] Old form for Argivo. 
 
 7. Sit modus.] I wish that here may be 
 the end of my travels. I hope I shall never 
 remove from this spot — for, apparently, he 
 was at Tibur at the time. 
 
 Lasso.] Weary of journeying by sea and 
 land, and of service too.

 Horace ever served, except a short time

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE VII. METRE VIII. 
 
 Pompeius had been with Horace at the 
 battle of Philippi, but, unlike the poet, cling- 
 ing to the relics of the republican party, he 
 was again involved in civil tumults. He had 
 now, however, made his peace with Augustus 
 — at least was permitted to return to Rome, 
 and Horace invites him to come and celebrate 
 the agreeable event at his house with some 
 friends. Horace's friend appears to be Pom- 
 peius Grosphus, a Roman knight, and once a 
 freedman of Pompeius Magnus. The 16th 
 ode of this book is supposed to be addressed 
 to the same person, but the evidence is not 
 very decisive. 
 
 1. Tempus in ultimum.'] Last time or day 
 of life — into extreme peril. 
 
 2. Bruto militice duce.] Under the com- 
 mand of Brutus — the head of the republican 
 party after the assassination of Caesar. Ho- 
 race was at Athens a young man of 23, when 
 he joined Brutus, and was presented by him 
 with the tribunate of a legion. Sat. i. 6. 48. 
 
 3. Quis, <yc] Who has had influence 
 enough with Augustus, &c. 
 
 Redonavit.] When his return had been, 
 probably, hopeless. 
 
 Quiritem.] Restored you to the full rights 
 of a Roman citizen — or a citizen, no longer a 
 soldier. 
 
 4. Dis patriis.] The dii patrii are the 
 tutelary deities of countries and towns — as 
 Mars of Rome, Minerva of Athens, &c. 
 
 Italoque coelo.] Italian sky, or climate — 
 to breathe your native air again. 
 
 0. Cum quo morantem, eye] With whom, 
 when we were idle men, before we were 
 
 engaged in the perils of war, I often broke 
 the long day — beguiled the lingering hours. 
 Pompeius must have been with Horace at 
 Athens. 
 
 7- Coronatus.] My hair wreathed with 
 chaplets. 
 
 Nitentes.] From being wetted or sprinkled 
 with perfumes. 
 
 8. Malobathro.] The malobathrum is sup- 
 posed to have been expressed from the betle- 
 leaf, so much used in the east. Certainly 
 the same use was not made of it. It was 
 a liquid, and employed as essences and 
 perfumes are with us — perhaps more pro- 
 fusely. 
 
 Syrio.] All Indian produce was called 
 Syrian, because it was brought to the Syrian 
 coast. Syra merx. Od. i. 31. 12. 
 
 9. Philippos.] With you I was at Philippi 
 — the fatal battle, which cost the lives of 
 Brutus and Cassius. Philippi was a town at 
 the foot of the Pangaean hills in Thrace near 
 the river Strymon. It was built by Philip, 
 the father of Alexander the Great. 
 
 10. Sensi, <yc] Sentire is applicable to all 
 serious evils of which we partake. I was 
 present with you at Philippi, and also fled 
 with you. 
 
 Non bene, Sfc] Not charging himself 
 seriously with cowardice, but implying that 
 he gained no glory — the battle was lost. The 
 shield was flung away, as an incumbrance in 
 his flight. 
 
 11. Fracta Virtus.] The valour of the 
 troops — broken, defeated by superior num- 
 bers or skill. 
 
 Minaces.] Bravely fighting to the last — - 
 not flinching.

 22. Ciboria, fyc] The Ciborium seems to 
 have been a large cup, resembling in form the 
 calyx of an Egyptian bean-flower. Athenaeus 
 is not very explicit. 
 
 23. Unguenta.] These unguents, constantly 
 introduced at festivities, were, apparently, 
 volatile oils diluted — essences; and often, 
 perhaps, nothing more than distilled waters, 
 impregnated with some odoriferous substance.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE VIII. METRE VI. 
 
 If Barine's beauty had suffered in the 
 slightest degree for her perjuries, the poet 
 would have some confidence in her oaths ; 
 but the more she breaks her vows, the more 
 beautiful she grows. The whole piece has a 
 Grecian air, and is probaTbly an imitation, 
 though not precisely traceable in the few 
 relics which survive. 
 
 1. Ulla.~\ Any, emphatically, as well as 
 unquam. If any penalty ever had, &c. 
 
 Juris pejerati.] Ennius uses jus juratum, 
 instead of jus jurandum for an oath, and, 
 analogously, jus pejeratum here stands for a 
 perjury. 
 
 3. Dente si nigro, fyc] If a single tooth 
 had been discoloured, or a single nail torn, 
 &c. 
 
 4. Turpior.] Less beautiful. Not only 
 diseases, but personal defects or injuries were 
 regarded as the penalties of crime, falsehood, 
 or fraud of any kind. 
 
 5. Crederem.] I should have some reliance 
 upon the oath you have given me. But you 
 have an obvious interest in perjury, &c. 
 
 Obligdsti.] As soon as you have sworn — 
 to what, of course, she never intended to 
 perform. The person who swears binds him- 
 self to the condition of the oath. 
 
 Sed tu.] But you — whatever may be the 
 case with others, &c. 
 
 6. Perfidum caput.] Your perfidious self. 
 Enitescis pulchrior, tyc] Your charms are 
 
 more dazzling than ever. Enitescis, as Avell 
 as prodis in the next line, stands for es, but is 
 more expressive. 
 
 8. Publica cura.~\ You are an object of 
 general admiration and inquiry. Propert. ii. 
 25. 1. 
 
 9. Expedit, Sfc] It is actually an advan- 
 tage to you to break the vows you make by 
 your mother's ashes, &c. 
 
 Cineres opertos.] Buried ashes, or enclosed 
 in a funereal urn. An oath considered as 
 peculiarly binding. Propert. ii. 16. 15. 
 
 11. Gelidd morte carentes.] Not liable to 
 cold death — immortal. 
 
 13. Ridet hoc, fyc] Nothing of the kind, 
 I affirm, hurts you. Venus herself laughs at 
 your perjuries — Jupiter also. Tib. iii. 6. 49. 
 Tovg kv 'tpu)Ti opicovg fir) dvvav ovar eg

 easily conciliated. They are in the suite of 
 Venus. Od. i. 30. Faciles nymphce rident.

 ODE IX. METRE VIII. 
 
 Horace endeavours to dissuade his friend 
 from constantly deploring the loss of his dear 
 Mystes (his child apparently). Storms and 
 winds do not rage the year through, nor did 
 Nestor or Priam weep without ceasing over 
 their slain sons. Instead of prosecuting his 
 plaintive elegies, he should commemorate the 
 recent trophies of Augustus in the East. The 
 poet is indefatigable and dexterous in turning 
 every incident to the praise of his patron. 
 Valgius is one of the friends, whose approba- 
 tion of his verses Horace is anxious to secure. 
 Sat. i. 10. 82. He was himself a poet, (line 9,) 
 and Tibullus speaks of him as coming nearer 
 than any other poet of the day to the " eternal 
 Homer." iv. 1. 180. Two lines have been 
 preserved in Servius's Commentaries on Vir- 
 gil, and two more by lsidorus. 
 
 1. Semper, fyc] Semper is the emphatic 
 
 word, for Horace's remonstrance applies to 
 the excess, or rather to the endlessness of his 
 friend's grief. In like manner, non usque — 
 non menses per annos — non omnes annos, and 
 tu semper, must all be taken with a corre- 
 sponding emphasis. 
 
 Non semper manant, Sfc] I. e. e nubibus. 
 In Od. i. 7> 6. a similar sentiment. 
 
 Hispidos.] Rough and scarcely passable, 
 as grounds are in wet weather. 
 
 2. Caspium.] The inland sea to the east 
 of the Caucasian range of mountains — still 
 known, generally, by the name of Caspian. 
 
 3. Vexant.] Agitate — throw into turbulent 
 waves. 
 
 Ineequales.] The word must be taken ac- 
 tively, as causing inequalities — a rough sea. 
 Tntequales, construed strictly with procellce, 
 would be at variance with usque, and the 
 whole tenor of the piece. 
 
 1. Armeniis in oris.] Regions near the

 southern shores of the Caspian — a high level,

 5. Stat glac. iners.~\ Stat for est, but iners 
 corresponds expressively with stat. Iners is 
 any thing in a torpid state, without motion, or 
 the power of motion. 
 
 7- Gargani.'] Mountain of Apulia, now St. 
 Angelo, in the Neapolitan province of Capi- 
 tanata — much subject to storms. Ep. ii. 1.

 not always bowed down by the violence of the 
 winds. Od. i. 9. 3. 
 
 9. Urges.] But you, in your weeping, 
 plaintive measures, without ceasing deplore 
 your lost Mystes. 
 
 Flebilibus.] Miserabiles, as Horace calls 
 Tibullus's elegies. Od. i. 33. 2. 
 
 10. Mysten.] Valgius's son, if any infer- 
 ence may be drawn from the comparison with 
 Nestor and Priam. 
 
 Ademtum.] Od. ii. 4. 10. 
 
 Vespero, Sfc] When Vesper appears in 
 the evening, nor when he flies before the 
 morning sun — neither night nor morning do 
 you cease lamenting. The same planet, Ve- 
 nus, in the evening is called Vesperus, and in 
 the morning Lucifer. 
 
 11. Decedunt amores.] Your sorrow for 
 him you loved never leaves you. He is never 
 out of your thoughts. 
 
 12. Rapidum.] Has a reference to Val- 
 gius — as coming too soon for him, before he 
 had finished his night moanings. 
 
 13. At non ter, fyc] Ter cevo for tribus 
 avis — ytvtaig, who lived three generations. 
 Three yevtai were regarded as equivalent to 
 one hundred years. Herod, ii. 142. 
 
 Amabilem.] The old man had once, when 
 
 in danger from Memnon, owed his life to 
 Antilochus. But the word is studiously 
 selected in reference to Mystes — dear as he 
 might be to Valgius, Antilochus must have 
 been as much so to Nestor. 
 
 15. Impubem Troilon.] Virgil. iEn. i. 474. 
 Parentes.] Priam and Hecuba. 
 
 16. Phrygice sorores.] Phrygian every- 
 where for Trojan. Sorores, Cassandra, Creu- 
 sis, Polyxena. 
 
 17- Desine querelarum.] Arjye yowv, or 
 odvpn&v. Instead of desine queri, or, as Ovid 
 has it, desine querelas. Met. vi. 216. 
 
 Mollium.] As if Valgius was indulging his 
 grief to effeminacy. 
 
 18. Nova tropcea.] Armenians, Parthians, 
 and Geloni. Niphates represents Armenia, 
 and Medum flumen i. e. the Euphrates — the Par- 
 thians, neither of which nations, however, did 
 Augustus subdue, by any regular and con- 
 secutive war — no decisive victory was won. In 
 734 U. C. Tiberius, who had been despatched 
 to the East, placed Tigranes on the throne 
 of Armenia, vacant at the time by the death 
 of Artaxata (Tac. Ann. ii. 3.) ; and the same 
 year he demanded from Phraates, king of 
 Parthia, the restoration of the Roman stand- 
 ards lost at the defeat of Crassus. 
 
 20. Rigidum Niphaten.] A mountain of 
 Armenia — rigidum, covered with snows. 
 
 21. Flumen.] The Euphrates — put for the 
 Parthians, whose western boundary the river 
 constituted. 
 
 Additum.] Added to the nations conquered 
 by Rome — under the auspices of Augustus. 
 
 22. Volvere.] Instead of volventem — rolling 
 its waves. Minores, from a feeling of in- 
 feriority — now conquered. Virgil. IEn. viii.

 ODE X. METRE VI. 
 
 The poet's purpose seems to be to turn 
 Licinius from some precipitate act, and to 
 press upon him the wisdom of moderation. 
 The person addressed was, apparently, the 
 Licinius Varro Muraena, who afterwards con- 
 spired with Fannius Caepio against Augustus, 
 and suffered the penalty of treason. (Dio. lib. 
 iii. veil. ii. 91.) This same Licinius was a 
 brother of Terentia, Maecenas's wife, and of 
 Proculeius, eulogised for his liberality to his 
 brothers. Od. ii. 2. 5. 
 
 1. Rectius.] More prudently, and so more 
 happily. 
 
 2. Semper urgendo, fyc] By neither always 
 urging your bark into the deep too rashly, nor 
 in your dread of storms, by pressing too closely 
 to the shore — hugging the coast, as sailors 
 phrase it. 
 
 4. Iniquum.] Perilous from rocks and 
 breakers. 
 
 5. Auream, Sfc] For sentiments to the 
 same purpose, compare Hesiod and Loll. Bass. 
 Ep. vi. 3. in Gr. Anth. vol. ii. p. 148. 
 
 6. Tutus.] Secure against want. 
 
 Caret, fyc] He need not live in a cabin, 
 and cares not to live in a palace — he is 
 screened (tutus) from the misery of the one, 
 and too prudent or moderate (sobrius) to 
 incur the envy of the other. 
 
 Obsoleti.] In a ruinous state — out of re- 
 pair, and which the owner is too poor to 
 repair. 
 
 9. Savins.] More expressive than s<rpius, 
 the common reading. 
 
 Irigens pinus.] The tall fir is more rudely 
 shaken — not than the lower one, but than 
 other trees of inferior height. 
 
 10. Celscc] High towers fall with a more 
 fatal ruin than lower ones. 
 
 11. Summos.] The tops of mountains, ra-

 adversity, hopes — in prosperity, fears — the 
 contrary lot — a change.

 ODE XI. METRE VIII. 
 
 
 Quinctius was full of anxiety about the 
 Cantabri and the Scythians — alarmed, proba- 
 bly, lest they, the Scythians especially, should 
 extend their devastations into the heart of the 
 empire. The poet, as usual, recommends a 
 jovial drinking-bout, as the best cure for soli- 
 citude. Life is short, and the best season of 
 it flies fastest. It furnishes no space for anx- 
 iety about distant and contingent troubles. To 
 the same Quinctius is addressed Ep. i. 16. 
 Compare Od. i. 4, 9, and 11 ; ii. 3 ; iv. 7 ; 
 and Epod. 13 — all relative to the same topics, 
 and together shew the poet's fertility. 
 
 1. Bellicosus Cantaber.] On the northern 
 coast of Spain. Od. ii. 6. 2. The poem must 
 have been written during the war, and before 
 U. C. 734, when the Cantabri were finally 
 
 subdued by Agrippa — and Lentulus gave a 
 check to the incursions of some of the Sarma- 
 tian tribes. The Scythians and Sarmatians 
 are frequently confounded. 
 
 2. Cogitet.] What they are planning, or 
 meditating. 
 
 Hadria.] With the Adriatic interposed. 
 This applies to the Scythce — the chief object 
 of Quinctius's apprehensions, apparently — 
 not of course to the Cantabri. 
 
 4. Trepides in usum.] An unusual con- 
 struction. In seems equivalent to quod attinet 
 ad. Be not anxious about what concerns the 
 necessaries of a life, which requires but little 
 — and our years are past their prime. 
 
 5. Fugit retro.] Retreats before the ap- 
 proaches of age. Or simply, departs — is soon 
 left behind. Ours is gone. Horace must have 
 been at least five and forty. 
 
 6. Levis.] May mean rapid — what glides

 cable at the rising. Sat. i. 8. 1 6. and Propert.

 11. JEtern. minorem cons.] Unequal to

 13. Curnon,8fc] Instead of all this anx- 
 iety, and losing the best years of enjoyment — 
 why should we not, &c. 
 
 14. Jacentes sic temere.] Reclining here — 
 just where we happen to be — without looking

 subdued, was forty-eight ; and Quinctius was, 
 probably, not younger than his friend. 
 
 Odorati, eye.] Their hair wreathed with 
 fragrant roses. 
 
 16. Nardo.] Like the malobathrum — both, 
 if they were not the same thing, are called 
 Syrian, from the country from which they 
 were immediately imported into Italy. Syrian 
 and Assyrian are used indiscriminately.

 temperature, but dilute the strength of the

 Ardentis.] Fiery, or rather, perhaps, from 
 its heating effects. — 0\6£ olvov Oepfiaiva, 
 says Hercules. Eurip. Ale. 761. 
 
 20. Prat, lympha.] In the brook, by the 
 side of which the party recline. 
 
 21. Quis, Sfc] Which of us. Od. ii. 7- 23. 
 Devium, eye] Devium seems opposed to 
 
 obvium — not one precisely at every body's 
 beck ; but one who required tempting by par- 
 ticular solicitation, and which one of the 
 party was here to undertake. Lyde is to be 
 fetched from her house — she is not one to be 
 met with in the streets. 
 
 22. Eburnd cum lyra.] Lyde is summoned 
 for the sake of her lyre — a common accom- 
 paniment of these symposia. The perform- 
 ers were usually young women, who, of course, 
 were not likely to be persons of character. 
 
 23. Incomtam comam, eye] With her hair 
 undressed. Bid her hasten, and not stay to 
 arrange her curls ; but just twist them up in 
 a knot, carelessly, like a Spartan girl. The 
 reading is disputable ; and it is not known, 
 from other sources, that the Spartan girls 
 were distinguished in this respect from other 
 Greeks. Virgil, however, represents Venus 
 dressed, generally at least, like a Spartan girl, 
 and she had given comam diff under e ventis, 
 JEn. i. 319 — which seems to imply something 
 like such distinction.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE XII. METRE III. 
 
 When Maecenas asks for a serious poem, 
 Horace replies, he can sing nothing but songs 
 of love and conviviality. Roman trophies 
 are as ill adapted to his lyre, as the battles of 
 the Lapithae and the Centaurs. And as to 
 the triumphs of Augustus, Maecenas himself 
 will better describe them historically. A 
 theme better suited to his own taste and pow- 
 ers are the charms of Licymnia — the mistress 
 of Maecenas. Agrippa, Od. i. 6. is addressed 
 in much the same tone, on a similar occasion. 
 
 1. Numanti(e.~\ A town of considerable 
 strength in the northern part of Spain, near 
 the sources of the Douro — finally captured and 
 destroyed by the younger Scipio Africanus. 
 Florus, ii. 18. Veil. ii. 4. 2. 
 
 Ferce.~] Referring, apparently, to the des- 
 perate resolution with which the Numantians 
 finally effected their own destruction. Flor. 
 ii. 18. 
 
 2. Durum Hannib.~\ The Carthaginian 
 commander in the second Punic war. Com- 
 pare Liv. xxi. 4. for a character of Hannibal, 
 which justifies the epithet of durum. 
 
 Siculum mare.] The naval victories of the 
 Romans in the first Punic war — won by Duil- 
 lius, Regulus, and Luctatius. 
 
 4. Aptari cit. modis.] To be adapted — to 
 be sung to the soft measures of my lyre — fit, 
 as it is, for nothing, but love-songs. Ep. i. 
 3. 13. 
 
 5. Lapithas.'] I. xviii. 8. The tale is told 
 in Ovid, Met. xii. 220. 
 
 6. Hylceum.] One of the centaurs, who, 
 heated by intoxication, insulted Hippodamia, 
 and gave rise to the conflict. 
 
 7- Telluris juvenes.'] The giants — sons of 
 the earth — who attacked Jupiter in Olympus, 
 and were repulsed by Hercules — by Bacchus 
 Od. ii. 19. 21. Horace here follows Apollod. 
 i. 6. 1. 
 
 Unde.] By whom — by whose attempts. 
 
 8. Contremuit, fyc] The splendid palace 
 of old Saturn shook at the peril — anticipated, 
 with alarm, destruction. 
 
 9. Tu, fyc.] The implication is — I will 
 not with my feeble verses depreciate the glo- 
 rious deeds of Augustus — you, in a grave his- 
 torical narrative, will far better describe them, 
 &c. It is obvious from this that Maecenas 
 did not affect to be a poet, and is decisive of 
 the old controversy relative to the Od. i. 1. 29. 
 According to Pliny, vii. 45. Maecenas did 
 write the Wars of Augustus. Servius ad 
 Georg. ii. 42. says the same thing. 
 
 Tuque, Sfc] Que — que, instead of, as is 
 not unfrequent, tarn and qudm. You shall 
 describe both the battles and the " triumphs." 
 
 Pedestribus.] Prose. The Greeks call prose 
 7rs^bg \6yog, and poetry liroxog, or eques- 
 trian — mounted. 
 
 11. Ductaque — colla, fyc] Necks of kings 
 led along the streets to the capitol, at the 
 triumph of the conqueror. — Conquered kings 
 led by chains fastened round their necks. 
 
 12. Minantium.] With a scowling, threat- 
 ening look — indignant at the degradation. 
 Rather, perhaps, kings who had threatened — 
 who had been formidable, but were now tho- 
 roughly humbled. 
 
 13. Dulcis Musa.] The Muse who is dear 
 to me — to sing of love and beauty is most 
 agreeable to my taste. 
 
 Domino;.] Of your mistress Licymnia.

 Cervicem, aut facili ssevitia negat, 
 Quae poscente magis gaudeat eripi,

 NOTES. 
 
 The word domina seems to imply respect. 
 Licymnia is by some supposed to be Teren- 
 tia, (who was a sister of Licinius) Maecenas's 
 wife, Od. ii. 10 ; but however respectful the 
 tone may be, it is still mixed up with more 
 levity than could be borne in speaking to a 
 person of his wife. Licymnia must be Mae- 
 cenas's mistress — not Horace's, for it is ob- 
 viously the poet's purpose to compliment and 
 please Maecenas. Besides, line 21 alone is 
 decisive. 
 
 14. Lucidum.~\ Adverbially, for lucide — 
 just as perfidum ridens, Od. iii. 27. 67- It is 
 Greek. 
 
 15. Mutuis amoribus.] A heart faithful 
 with an affection which corresponds with your 
 own — a bosom faithfully animated with a mu- 
 tual fondness. 
 
 17- Quam nee dedecuit, fyc] Whom it 
 neither misbecomes — the spirit of which is — 
 whom it greatly becomes — who gracefully 
 mixes in the dance. Ferre pedem choris ex- 
 presses not simply joining the dance, — but de- 
 scribes one who steps and moves with elegance 
 and grace. 
 
 18. Certare joco.] The phrase is descrip- 
 tive of the mimetic action of the dance, when 
 of a comic character — not to the cracking of 
 jokes — or bandying of wit. 
 
 Dare brachia.'} Again, descriptive of gesti- 
 culation. 
 
 19. Ludentem.'] Dancing — as irai^eiv with 
 the Greeks. 
 
 20. Celebris.] Many days in the year 
 were sacred to Diana, and commemorated by 
 these dances in town and country, with great 
 merriment. Prop. ii. 28. 60. 
 
 21. Num tu, fyc] Would you, who know 
 its worth — would you exchange a lock of Li- 
 cymnia's hair for the treasures of Persia 1 
 
 Achaemenes.] Was the first king of Persia 
 — from whom all his successors, whether of 
 the same dynasty or not, were styled Achce- 
 menides. Here put generally for the wealth 
 of Persia. 
 
 22. Mygdonias.] The Mygdones occupied 
 a district of Phrygia — they had migrated from 
 a part of Thrace, on the confines of Mace- 
 donia. 
 
 24. Plenas aut Arabum domos.] Repeat — 
 " would you exchange" — the kisses of Licym- 
 nia for the riches, &c. Od. i. 29. 1. gazas 
 Arabum. 
 
 25. Dum.] Dum has no reference what- 
 ever, unless the previous clause, plenas aut 
 Ar. dom. form a part of the sentence. 
 
 Dum flagrantia, fyc] While she averts her 
 lips, and turns, not reluctantly, her neck to 
 your burning kisses, would you exchange 
 those kisses for, &c. 
 
 27. Poscente.] Governed not by magis, but 
 by a understood. The word refers specifically 
 to negat. With a cruelty which is but affected, 
 (facili) she refuses the kisses, which she would 
 be more pleased were snatched from her by 
 you, the solicitor — which comes to this — she 
 would rather they should be seized than asked 
 for. If poscente depended upon magis, the 
 construction would require posci. 
 
 Magis gaudeat.] That is, malit — accom- 
 panied with pleasure. 
 
 28. Interdum rapere occupat.] Sometimes 
 she herself snatches them. Occupare is to 
 be beforehand with another. Ep. i. 6. 32.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE XIII, METRE VIII. 
 
 The poet's narrow escape from a falling 
 tree, while walking in his own garden, reminds 
 him of the perils which surround mankind, and 
 against which there can be no security for an 
 hour. He was all but within sight of the realms 
 of Proserpine, where, however, the shades, 
 even the most guilty, occasionally beguile 
 their sorrows and tortures with the songs of 
 Sappho and Alcaeus— the poets whom Horace 
 admires and emulates, and eulogises on all 
 occasions. The fall of the tree is frequently 
 alluded to in other Odes: ii. 17- 24.; iii. 4. 
 27- ; iii. 8. 
 
 1. Ille et nefasto, fyc] The construction is 
 — quicunque te, arbor, primum posuit, ille te 
 posuit et die nefasto, et sacrilegd manu pro- 
 du.rit, &c. 
 
 Posuit.~\ Set, or planted. 
 
 Nefasto.] Unlucky day — or a day of ill- 
 omen. From Od. iii. 8. it appears the acci- 
 dent occurred on the calends of March — one 
 of the dies nefasti — that is, days in which 
 courts of justice were closed from motives of 
 religious scruple. But nothing so technical 
 or formal is likely to have been in the poet's 
 mind — the word is equivalent to infaustus. 
 
 3. Produxit.'] Brought forward — took care 
 of it — nursed or fostered it. 
 
 Nepotum.] In a general sense for poste- 
 rity — succeeding generations. 
 
 4. Opprobrium.] Shame and scandal of the 
 village. 
 
 5. IUum, fyc] Charging the planter with 
 wilful mischief, he believes him to have been 
 
 capable of committing any atrocity. He is, of 
 course, only indulging his love of humour. 
 
 C). Fregisse cervicem.] Supply laqueo. Sal- 
 lust, C. B. 35. has gulam laqueo frangere, — I 
 could belie ve the man hanged his own father,&c. 
 
 Penetralia.] His house. 
 
 7- Nocturno cruore.] With blood shed in the 
 night — that he had murdered his guest while 
 sleeping — had violated the most sacred rights 
 of hospitality. 
 
 8. Colclva.] For ColcMa, or CoicJdca. The 
 poisons of Colchis are notorious from the 
 story of Medaea. Colchis now forms a part 
 of Georgia, under the name of Mingrelia — 
 on the eastern shores of the Euxine. 
 
 9. Et quidquid, Sfc] And every conceiv- 
 able crime. 
 
 10. Tractavit.] Handled — meddled with. 
 The word applies specifically to venena Col- 
 cha — has mixed poisons — and by implication, 
 administered them. 
 
 11. Triste.] Miserable— from the fatal 
 consequences it was nearly producing. 
 
 Caducum.] Instead of cadens. Usually 
 the word means what is in a falling state — 
 near falling — or likely to fall. Here the tree 
 actually falls ; and in Od. iii. 4. 44. it is ap- 
 plied to a thunder-bolt, which has also actu- 
 ally fallen. 
 
 13. Quid quisque vitet.] What every one 
 should avoid — what is to be avoided. The 
 words form a periphrasis for dangers. 
 
 Nunquam cautum est, dye] Nobody could 
 ever secure himself against the dangers of 
 every hour — dangers that may befal him at 
 any hour.

 NOTES. 
 
 14. In horas.~\ Adverbially — every hour — 
 at all hours. So Sat. ii. 7- 10. Ep. ad Pison. 
 160. 
 
 Navita Bosporum, Sfc] Nor again, do peo- 
 ple, generally, think of any but obvious dan- 
 gers, or such as they are habitually exposed 
 to. For instance, the Syrian sailor (going to 
 Bithynia, &c.) dreads nothing but the Bos- 
 porus, &c. 
 
 Bosporum.~\ Bosporus Thracius, now the 
 Channel of Constantinople, or of the Black 
 Sea — regarded of old as a dangerous naviga- 
 tion, especially from the Cyanean rocks, or 
 Symplegades, in the mouth of the Euxine. As 
 little formidable now as the Straits of Sicily. 
 
 15. Poenus.'] The sailor of Tyre, or Syria, 
 seems to have been intended — the shores of 
 the Euxine were frequented by merchants for 
 Oriental produce brought thither, as well as 
 to the coasts of Syria. 
 
 Ultra.] Beyond, or rather, nothing else. 
 
 16. Ctsca.] Latent — unforeseen and un- 
 known. 
 
 Timet.] The syllable met is lengthened by 
 the privilege of the caesura, of which Horace 
 rarely avails himself. 
 
 Aliunde.] From other quarters. 
 
 17- Miles.] The Roman soldiers. 
 
 Celerem sagittam.] Depending on perhor- 
 rescit. Dreaded for the arrows they shot in 
 their feigned retreats. Od. i. 19. 11. 
 
 18. Catenas, Sfc] The Parthians dread the 
 chains and prisons of the Romans — alluding to 
 the Roman triumphs. Captives, in the trium- 
 phal procession, were led in chains, and then 
 taken to the prison, and there put to death. 
 
 19. Robur.] Is itself the prison, or rather 
 the dungeon of the prison, where executions 
 took place — called Tullianum. Sallust de- 
 scribes it, C. B. 55. See also Liv. xxxviii. 59. 
 Val. Max. vi. 3. 1. and Tacit. An. iv. 29. " O 
 subtil/las digna carcere et robore." Apul. in 
 Apol. 
 
 21. Furvce.] Furvus, like luridus, pallidus, 
 niger, ater, fyc. are customary terms, applicable 
 to both persons and things in Hades. 
 
 Proserpina.] Daughter of Ceres, and wife 
 of Pluto. Od. i. 28. 20. 
 
 22. Vidimus Macum.] vEacus, a judge of 
 the Shades, along with Minos and Rhada- 
 manthus. M'ivcj Saaaov e7ro\p6fieSra, &c. 
 Antip. Sid. i. 4. in Athol. Graec. vol. ii. 
 P . 5. 
 
 23. Sedesque discretas.] The Elysian fields 
 — the seats of the blessed, separated from the 
 regions of guilt and punishment. 
 
 24. Mollis fidibus.] With her JEolian lyre. 
 Sappho herself is called puella Molia. Od. iv. 
 9. 12. Lesbos was colonized by iEolians. It 
 is enumerated in Herodotus's list of iEolian 
 settlements. Herod, i. 151. 
 
 Querentem Sappho.] Simonides, in like 
 manner, introduces Anacreon singing to the 
 shades. Sim. xlix. 9. Anth. Graec. vol. i. 
 p. 69. 
 
 Querentem.] Complaining of the women 
 of Lesbos— her countrywomen — not of then- 
 robbing her of Phaon's affections, but of some 
 want of sympathy with her perverted pas- 
 sions. 
 
 26. Plenius.] A fuller, bolder tone. Ovid 
 makes Sappho give the same account of Al- 
 caeus. Herod, xv. 30. 
 
 27. Plectro.] The bow, or stick, with which 
 the lyre was played. 
 
 Dura navis, Sfc] These seem to have been 
 the usual topics of Alcaeus' songs — what he 
 himself encountered at sea, in exile, and in 
 war. 
 
 28. Dura belli.] In a battle between the 
 Mytilenaeans and Athenians, Alcaeus, accord- 
 ing to Herodotus, fled, and left his weapons 
 behind, which the Athenians suspended in the 
 temple of Minerva, at Sigaeum. Alcaeus wrote 
 a poetical account of the matter to a friend. 
 Herod, v. 95.

 29. Sacro dig. sil.~\ Songs worthy of being 
 listened to with a silence as deep as that which

 30. Mir. Umb. dicere.~\ For dicentem. The

 Sed magis, fyc] But listen more to

 31. Tyrannos.'] Pittacus, Myrsilus, &c. 
 Comp. Strabo. xiii.

 Stupens.] Struck dumb with surprise and

 34. Centiceps.] The poets differ con- 
 siderably as to the number of Cerberus's 
 heads. Horace himself, Od. ii. 19. 13, 
 there following the more usual statement, 
 
 gives him three. Hesiod assigns him fifty. 
 Doubtless Horace had some Greek poet in 
 his memory, or before him, and adopted cen- 
 ticeps without regard to consistency. 
 
 36. Angues.] The snakes twisted in the 
 hair of the Furies are delighted — put, de- 
 scriptively, for the Furies themselves. 
 
 37- Prometheus.] Horace, of course, fol- 
 lows some old poet, who represents Pro- 
 metheus, like Tantalus, &c. subjected to 
 punishment in Hades. Usually he is fast- 
 ened to the rocks of Caucasus with a vulture 
 tearing his liver — the penalty for stealing 
 fire from heaven. 
 
 38. Decipitur laborum.] Greek. KkiiTTtTai 
 t&v 7t6vojv — instead of deceptus obliviscitur 
 laborum — so charmed by the music as to forget 
 his labours. 
 
 39. Orion, fyc] Hunting had been Orion's 
 passion, and it accompanies him to the 
 shades. Virg. Mn. vi. 665. Homer repre-

 ODE XIV. METRE VIII. 
 
 Death is inevitable. Neither piety nor 
 hecatombs will soothe relentless Pluto ; nor 
 even by avoiding seas, and wars, and fevers, 
 will any one escape. All that charms here 
 must be left, and let Postumus guard as he 
 will his treasures, they must fall at last to his 
 heir. The poet's advice, accordingly, is to 
 
 make the most of life, and enjoy the bles- 
 sings within his command. Postumus seems 
 to have been more disposed to save than 
 to spend — nothing is known of him with 
 any certainty. Compare Od. ii. 3. ii. II. 
 iv.7. 
 
 2. Labuntur.] Years glide rapidly past, like 
 a stream. Labi is the specific term for the 
 flow of a river.

 Trecenis.] Three hecatombs of oxen. 
 Quotquot, §c] As many days as go — 
 every day of your life. 
 
 6. Illacrimabilem.] "Adaicpvv — whom no 
 tears can bend to pity. 
 
 7- Plutona.~\ Who, with his brothers, 
 Jupiter and Neptune, divided the sovereignty 
 of the world among them. Pluto presided 
 over the realms of Hades — the regions of 
 spirits, good and bad. 
 
 Ter amplum Geryonen.] The son of 
 Chrysaor and Callirrhoe, called triple-bodied, 
 apparently, from his immense size and 
 strength. His defeat was one of the labours 
 of Hercules. 
 
 8. Tityon.] A son of earth, transpierced 
 by the arrows of Apollo, and driven to Tar- 
 tarus, for an act of violence committed upon 
 Latona. His body covered novem jugera. 
 Virg. /En. vi. 596. 
 
 9. Compescit, Sfc] The cases of Geryon 
 and Tityon are the strongest instances the 
 poet could produce of Pluto's power. If they 
 could not wrestle with death, what can ordi- 
 nary mortals do ? 
 
 Scilicet, SfC.] That dismal wave, / mean, 
 which must be crossed, in Charon's boat, by 
 
 all of us, who live upon the fruits of the earth, 
 whether we be rich or poor. 
 
 10. Munere.~\ Munera has been often 
 suggested ; and vesci governs the accusative, 
 commonly enough to justify a change, which 
 the sense may be thought to require. Tibull.

 13. Frustra carebimus, fyc] In vain shall 
 we keep aloof from war, &c.

 14. Fractis.] Billows broken upon rocky 
 shores. 
 
 Rauci.] Roaring, when agitated by tur- 
 bulent winds. 
 
 15. Per auctumnos nocent.] In the autumn, 
 injurious to our health. The sirocco of Italy 
 still bears the same baneful character. Sat. 
 ii. 6. 19. and Od. iii. 23. 8. 
 
 16. Metuemus.] In vain shall we dread 
 autumnal winds — and, by implication, fly 
 from their deadly influence — withdraw to 
 cooler and more healthy regions. 
 
 18. Cocytos, Sfc] The dark Cocytos, with 
 its sluggish stream, must be visited — in spite 
 of all our care and caution. 
 
 Danai genus infame.] The offspring of 
 Danaus — his fifty daughters, who, one only 
 excepted, slew their husbands on the bridal 
 night — condemned to eternal infamy.

 up hill eternally. Horn. Odys. xi. 592.

 ODE XV. METRE VIII. 
 
 The poet contrasts the ostentatious magni- 
 ficence of his own days, with the frugality 
 and simplicity of elder times. 
 
 1. Jam.] Soon — in a short time. Jam 
 depends for its English equivalent upon the 
 tense with which it is coupled. Now with 
 the present — already with the past — and soon 
 with the future. 
 
 Regice moles.] Buildings like palaces — 
 erected by the opulent citizens of Rome. 
 
 3. Lucrino.] The Lucrinus was a small lake 
 near Baiae, in Campania. The spot is now sup- 
 posed to be covered by a hill of considerable 
 elevation, thrown up by an earthquake in 1538. 
 
 4. Stagna.] Artificial lakes — sweeps or 
 sheets of water for ornamental purposes in pri- 
 vate grounds. No allusion can be meant, here, 
 to the enclosures on the shores for fish pre- 
 
 serves — for securing a command of fish at all 
 seasons and in all weathers : a favourite 
 object of luxury with the rich at this period. 
 Varro R. R. iii. 17 ; Tibull. ii. 3. 45 ; Cic. ad 
 Att. i. 16, 17- 
 
 Platanusque Calebs, Sfc] Plane trees will 
 soon supersede the elms — luxury before 
 utility. 
 
 Calebs.] Figuratively, for useless. Elms 
 served for props for vines. The vines when 
 tied to the elms were said to marry them. 
 With the plane-tree, whose foliage spread 
 wide and hung low, this was impracticable ; 
 and hence it is called calebs — the maiden 
 tree. Martial, with the same allusion, calls 
 the plane vidua, iii. 57- Calebs and viduus 
 are often used synonymously. 
 
 5. Turn.] Here, and also in line 9, turn 
 is merely a conjunction — for et, to vary the 
 phraseology.

 flowers and shrubs. 
 
 7- Spargent.'] Will diffuse their odours 
 over the olive grounds — will cover the space 
 once occupied with olive-trees. 
 
 8.« Fertilibus.'] Productive and profitable 
 to their former owners. 
 
 9. Spissa ramis, fyc] The laurel, with its 
 thick interlacing branches, will shut out the 
 rays of the sun, become oppressive to the 
 effeminate Romans. 
 
 10. Ictus.] The strokes — the rays of the 
 sun. 
 
 11. Prcescriptum, Sfc] Such things were 
 not tolerated in the times and under the 
 government of Romulus, and of Cato. 
 
 Intonsi Cat.] In the days of Cato, famed 
 alike for the severity of his censurate, and 
 the simplicity of his own habits. The beard 
 was no longer worn in his time ; but, in his 
 attachment to ancient customs, Cato persisted 
 in retaining his, and hence the epithet in- 
 tonsus. 
 
 12. Veterumque normd.] By the laws and 
 customs of the ancients — by their style and 
 manner of living. 
 
 13. Illis.] With them — the old Romans. 
 
 Census.] Income, or property. Strictly, 
 property valued and registered in the census. 
 Ep. i. 7- 56. 
 
 14. Commune.] The public revenues were 
 large. 
 
 Nulla, Sfc] No portico, belonging to pri- 
 vate persons, was of so extensive a range as 
 to require rods of ten feet long to measure it. 
 
 Decempedis.] Ablative, from decempeda. 
 
 Decemp. metata.] Measured with — taken 
 passively. 
 
 15. Privatis.] Dative — for private per- 
 sons. Temples and public edifices might 
 have them. 
 
 16. Excipiebat.] Admitted the north wind 
 — built with a northern aspect, for shade and 
 coolness. 
 
 17- Fortuitum.] The turf upon the spot — 
 without search or selection — any that might 
 be met with. 
 
 Nee leges, fyc] The laws did not suffer — 
 they prohibited edifices of stone for private 
 dwellings. 
 
 19. Jubentes.] The laws — commanding 
 to decorate, at the public cost, towns and the 
 temples of the Gods with new stone — which 
 seems to mean stone selected and quarried 
 for the purpose, and stands opposed to the 
 fortuitous turf.

 ODE XVI. METRE VI. 
 
 It is not wealth which secures happiness, 
 but moderation. Riches create anxieties, 
 while the man who is content with a com- 
 petency is neither shaken by mastering pas- 
 sions, nor ruffled by the common calamities 
 of life. Grosphus, whoever he might be, was 
 a rich man, and it may be concluded, a little 
 apt to sacrifice his tranquillity to his pecu- 
 niary interests. 
 
 1. Otium.'] The word is applied alike to 
 security, peace, repose, and tranquillity ; or, 
 in one word, to escape, or exemption from 
 trouble. 
 
 Patenti.] In the deep — at a distance from 
 land — no port to fly to. 
 
 2. Prensus, fyc] The man who is over- 
 taken by a storm in the iEgean prays for 
 safety. 
 
 Simul, Sfc] As soon as dark clouds have 
 hidden the moon, and stars no longer shine — 
 thus threatening a storm — the man who at 
 sea is surprised, &c. 
 
 3. Certa.] By which the sailor can direct 
 his course with certainty. Tibull. i. 9, 10. 
 
 5. Bello furiosa Thrace.] The Thracians, 
 with all their passion for war, when wearied, 
 or baffled, or in danger of defeat, wish for 
 peace. 
 
 6. Medi.] The Parthians, so renowned 
 for their skill with the bow, even they, in 
 long wars and dangers, wish for peace. 
 
 7- Neque venale.] What cannot be pur- 
 chased with gems or gold. Even the rich 
 and mighty find that wealth and honours and 
 titles will not purchase peace of mind. 
 
 9. Consularis lictor.] The lictor, who 
 clears the way before the consul, and dis- 
 perses disorderly persons, cannot put to flight 
 disturbing passions. 
 
 10. Miseros tumultus.] Hopes and fears, 
 and desires excited by ambitious pursuits. 
 
 11. Laqueata.] Cielings adorned with 
 gilding, painting, or sculpture. The words 
 laquearia and lacunaria are used for the same 
 purpose, and express apparently cielings dis- 
 tinguished by pannels (lacus) each with its 
 peculiar ornaments. Joseph. A. viii. 3. 2. 
 
 Curas.] Cares — anxieties which, like bats, 
 flit around splendid roofs — troubles which 
 beset the wealthiest. 
 
 13. Vivitur bene, fyc] There is happiness 
 with a little for the man on whose table 
 shines a paternal salt-cellar — indicative of 
 one who has " neither riches nor poverty." 
 
 14. Splendet.] Shines — smiles — gives sa- 
 tisfaction — implying contentment in the pos- 
 sessor. 
 
 15. Leves, fyc] Light and easy — sleep, 
 into which he easily falls, and which is un- 
 broken by anxieties. 
 
 Cupido.] Passion for riches and distinctions. 
 
 16. Sordidus.] Grovelling and debasing. 
 Nothing of this kind deprives the contented 
 man of his rest.

 or, for the service of so short a life. 
 
 Jaculamur.'] Why do we aim at, or are so 
 intent upon, many things 1 
 
 Fortes.] As if we were fortes, and by our 
 efforts could prolong our days. Or, ironically 
 — for miserable wretches whose life is so 
 brief. 
 
 18. Terras alio, Sfc] Lands warmed by 
 other suns — other and distant climes. 
 
 19. Mutamus, fyc.~\ Why exchange — why 
 quit our homes, and sail to distant lands ? 
 Why seek for wealth in foreign realms ? 
 
 19. Quis exsul, fyc] What exile — what 
 man who quits his country, quits himself 
 too? — Gets, thus, rid of his anxieties? 
 
 21. Vitiosa — cura.] This cura, which ex- 
 presses anxieties produced by an insatiable 
 desire of wealth, — never leaves him — though 
 he seek to escape it, in ships or in war, it 
 sticks close to his skirts, or speedily overtakes 
 him. 
 
 Vitiosa.] The poet reckons cura among 
 our vices, and in a personification it may cor- 
 rectly enough be called vitiosa. 
 
 JEratas.] The rostra, or prows of vessels 
 of war, were strengthened with brass, or cop- 
 per — as we, for a different purpose, copper the 
 bottoms of ours. 
 
 22. Relinquit.] Nor leaves — that is, keeps

 pleased, or content with the present, hale — 
 
 refuse to be solicitous about the future (quod 
 ultra est), and sweeten the bitters of life with 
 a smile. 
 
 26. Lento.] A smile of indifference. Lentus 
 expresses something sluggish — not easily ex- 
 cited. 
 
 29. Cita.] An early death — brilliant as 
 had been his career. 
 
 30. Longa.] Long, lingering age — and, by 
 implication, miserable — enviable as had once 
 been his lot. 
 
 32. Porriget.] Will continue to me — he 
 already possesses — what she has denied to 
 you. The poet alludes to what is more par- 
 ticularly expressed below — contentment es- 
 pecially. Compare Od. ii. 5. 14.

 ODE XVII. METRE VIII. 
 
 On some serious illness, when Maecenas was 
 in despair of recovery, Horace endeavours to 
 cheer him, and repeats his former pledge, not 
 to survive him. Their fates were too closely 
 linked to be thus severed. But death was 
 not so near — they had both been providen- 
 tially preserved from great dangers, and should 
 rather think of paying their vows of grati- 
 tude, than of dying. 
 
 1. Exanimas.] Why distress and torture me ? 
 Querelis tuis.] By your complaints that 
 
 you are dying. Maecenas was, it appears, 
 often in ill-health. Pliny, vii. 52. speaks of 
 him as having a constant fever ; and the last 
 three years of his life, as spent almost with- 
 out sleep. 
 
 2. Nee Dis, Sfc] Not to the Gods, for the 
 fates have decreed a longer life — nor to me, 
 for I cannot survive you. 
 
 Amicum est.] $>i\ov sari. 
 
 3. Obire.] Scil. mortem — die before me. 
 
 4. Columen.] The pillar — that on whicft 
 all hope and reliance are placed. Od. i. 1.2. 
 
 6. Maturior.] Premature, sooner than was 
 appointed by the fates, as in the second line. 
 The Gods will not that he should die before 
 his day. Horace plainly hints that Maecenas 
 was killing himself by his fears. 
 
 Quid moror.] Why should I linger on the 
 earth ? 
 
 Altera.] Scil. pars. Why should I, a rem- 
 nant only of myself, remain ? 
 
 7. Nee carus ceque, 8$c] Neither equally 
 dear to myself, nor, though I survive, any 
 longer complete — a part being thus taken 
 away. The phrase will construe — equally 
 dear to others; but Horace's predominant 
 idea plainly is, that if Maecenas dies, life is 
 no longer of equal value to himself. 
 
 8. Ille dies.] The day on which you die. 
 Utramque.] For utriusque — shall bring 
 
 destruction to both of us. 
 
 0. Perfidum.] I have taken an oath, and 
 I will not break it. The terms of the oath 
 follow — Ibimus, &c. 
 
 10. Sacramentum.] The oath taken by 
 soldiers, never to desert their commander. 
 
 11. Utcunque.] Whenever. Od. i. 35.23.

 employed in ornamenting furniture. 
 
 Aureum.} Instead of auratum, for effect. 
 Od. ii. 16. 11. 
 
 3. Trabes Hymettice.} Slabs of marble

 Hymettice.} Hymettus, a mountain of 
 Attica, the marble of which, according to 
 Pliny, 36. 3. was first imported into Rome by 
 L. Crassus. 
 
 4. Premunt.} Marbles of Hymettus do 
 not press upon Numidian columns — are not 
 piled upon them. That is — no pillars of 
 Numidian marble support entablatures of 
 Hymettian in my residence. 
 
 Ultimd Africd.} Numidia, the marble of 
 which was of various colours. 
 
 5. Neque Attali, SfC.} Nor have I seized 
 the palace of any Attalus. 
 
 6. Ignotus.} Not known to be the true 
 heir — that is — I have not illegally seized. 
 
 Occupavi.} Occupare is, specifically — to get 
 possession of a thing without legal right. 
 
 7. Laconicas, Sfc.} Dyed with the Spartan 
 murex, which was thought to afford the most 
 brilliant colour. 
 
 8. Trahunt, fyc.} Trahere purpuras is, 
 strictly, to card wools dyed with the murex. 
 Women carded, spun, and wove — and the 
 whole is here implied.

 Ad Pison. 409. Horace plumes himself upon 
 his fidelity, talents, and the friendship of 
 Maecenas.

 16. Pergunt, Sfc.} And new moons be- 
 come old ones, without any cessation. Time 
 keeps pressing on. 
 
 17- Tu locas, Sfc.} The connection is this 
 — seeing the rapid flight of time, I trouble 
 not myself with matters which I shall never 
 live to enjoy ; while you, though on the 
 brink of the grave, are employing workmen 
 to hew marbles from the quarries, to build 
 new houses, &c.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE XIX. METRE VIII. 
 
 A Hymn for the festival of Bacchus. 
 Favoured with the visible presence of 
 Bacchus, and still filled with his influence, 
 the poet commemorates the achievements and 
 glories of the God. Horace had, apparently, 
 some Greek dithyrambic piece before him, as 
 also in Od. iii. 25. There are obvious traces 
 in Pratina's i/7rop%?7jLia, Athen. xiv. 2. 
 
 1. Remotis rupibus.] Remote from the 
 tumults of the city — solitary. In the same 
 situation Bacchus is represented by Euripides, 
 Bacch. 150. 
 
 2. Credite posteri."] Who might, other- 
 wise, question the veracity of so extraordinary 
 a story. 
 
 Carmina docentem.~\ Dictating songs. Vir- 
 gil makes Silenus teach Satyrs and Nymphs, 
 Eel. vi. Dramatic writers were said docere 
 their fabulas — a phrase which of course had 
 its reference to the players. 
 
 3. Nymphas.] Compare Od. iii. 15. 
 Where Bacchus is called Naiadum potens. 
 
 4. Acutas.] Sharp ears — pointed and 
 pricked up. 
 
 5. Evoe.] The common exclamation of 
 the devotees of Bacchus. Comp. Od. i. 18. 9. 
 Gesner — a German — considers svol to be 
 simply mimetic of eructation. 
 
 Recenti, fyc] My mind is still agitated 
 with terror — it still trembles under the awful 
 impression so recently made. 
 
 6. Plenoque, fyc] And, with my bosom 
 full of Bacchus, my mind, at the same time, 
 
 is in tumults of joy. His alarms are mixed 
 with delight at the favour vouchsafed him. 
 
 7. Parce.] The poet deprecates the re- 
 sentment of the God, for the offence of sur- 
 prising him in his retreat. 
 
 8. Metuende, fyc] You, who are to be dread- 
 ed when you shake, or hurl your Thyrsus. 
 
 Gravi.] Fatal — from its effects. 
 
 Thyrso.] The wand, wreathed with ivy, 
 &c. with the stroke of which Bacchus was 
 supposed to infuriate his worshippers. 
 
 9. Fas est.] The pardon for his presump- 
 tion is now obtained, and the poet is at 
 liberty, and it becomes a grateful duty to 
 sing the praises of Bacchus. 
 
 Thyiadas.] From Svtiv. The devotees of 
 Bacchus, or the nymphce, his constant attend- 
 ants, whom the poet saw discentes the songs 
 which Bacchus was teaching them. 
 
 Pervicaces.] The word seems to express 
 their perseverance in prosecuting the Bacchic 
 revels. 
 
 11. Atque iterare?] And sing again and 
 again of the honey that drops from hollow 
 trees. Wine, milk, and honey, are the gifts 
 of Bacchus, which the Thyiades produce with 
 their Thyrsi, at their will. Compare, parti- 
 cularly, Eurip. Bacch. 704. &c. 
 
 13. Beata: conjugis.] Ariadne ; and beatce, 
 because she became a Goddess, jiaKap. For 
 Ariadne's story refer to Ovid, Met. viii. 180. 
 Fast. iii. 459. 
 
 14. Honorem.] Strictly, insigne honoris — 
 crown. The constellation called Ariadne's 
 crown.

 Te vidit insons Cerberus aureo 
 Cornu decorum, leniter atterens 30 
 
 Caudam, et recedentis trilingui 
 Ore pedes, tetigitque crura. 
 
 NOTES. 
 
 Tectaque Penthe'i, fyc] Pentheus and Ly- 
 curgus were two memorable victims of the re- 
 sentment of Bacchus, in vindication of his 
 insulted divinity. Pentheus, a son of Echion 
 and Agave, and king of Thebes, had his palace 
 knocked about his ears (Ovid, Met. iii. and 
 Eurip. Bacch. 633) ; and Lycurgus, a son of 
 Dryas, and king of Thrace, was driven in a 
 paroxysm of madness to kill his son, and cut 
 off his own legs. 
 
 15. Non leni.] That is, with a terrible 
 destruction. 
 
 17- Tu flectis amnes.'] Bacchus is repre- 
 sented to have forced back, in particular, the 
 streams of Orontes and Hydaspes, and crossed 
 them dry-shod. Nonn. Dyon. xiii. 323. 
 
 Tu mare barbarum.] The Indian Sea. Sup- 
 ply flectis, in the sense of subduing. Seneca, 
 Here. Fur. 409. calls him domitor rubi 
 maris. 
 
 18. Uvidus.] Scil. vino; as madidus, often 
 in the same sense, and with the same con- 
 struction. Od. iv. 5. 39. 
 
 Separatis.] Secluded — the same as remotis 
 rupibus, in the first line. 
 
 Tu coerces.] You bind up the hair of 
 the Thracian women with a viper's knot ; that 
 is, you make the Thracian women tie up their 
 hair with vipers. 
 
 20. Sine fraude.] Harmless. The vipers 
 deprived of their venomous power. 
 
 21. Parentem.] Jupiter, the father of Bac- 
 chus. 
 
 Per arduum.] Up, or through the sky. 
 
 Tu, quum, fyc] When the impious band 
 of giants scaled your father's realms, you 
 hurled back one of them, Rhcetus, &c. 
 
 23. Leonis.] With the claws and horrible 
 jaws of a lion — in the shape of a lion. Horn. 
 Hymn to Bacch. represents him in the same 
 form. 
 
 25. Quamquam.] You repelled the giants, 
 although, being said to be fitter for dances and 
 sports, you were not considered competent for 
 fighting, &c. 
 
 27. Sed idem pacis, fyc] But you were the 
 moderator of peace and war — upon you de- 
 pended both. You proved yourself as fit for 
 one as the other. 
 
 29. Insons Cerberus.] Gentle and harm- 
 less — fierce as he usually is. 
 
 Aureo cornu.] XpvaoicepioQ. The horn was 
 of old, in the East, an emblem of power. 
 
 32. Tetigitque, Sfc] Cerberus saw you, 
 and with his triple-tongued mouth licked your 
 feet and legs, as you returned — so delighted 
 had he been. The que couples pedes and 
 crura.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE XX. METRE VIII. 
 
 Anticipating an immortal renown from his 
 poetry, Horace playfully announces his imme- 
 diate metamorphosis, and his speedy flight, as 
 a swan, into every part of the world. 
 
 1. Non usitatd.~\ With no common wing, 
 but a new one — such as none before me have 
 been furnished with. 
 
 Tenui.] Nor with small, but large ones — 
 the swan's — such as will sustain a long flight. 
 
 2. Biformis vates.~\ In a second or new 
 form — that of a swan. 
 
 3. Neque in terris, Sfc] Nor will I linger 
 on the land, but will mount into the sky. 
 
 4. Invidiaque, fyc.~\ Superior to envy— or 
 beyond the reach of her attacks.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE I. METRE VIII. 
 
 Horace prosecutes his favourite theme, the 
 Stoic dogma, that happiness consists not in 
 riches and honours, but in tranquillity and 
 contentment. For though one man is richer, 
 or more influential than another, all, high and 
 low, must die. Sleep visits the humble pallet 
 of the poor, while she forsakes the downy pil- 
 low of the great. The man who is content 
 with the supply of his real wants, has no 
 alarms about losses and crosses. In vain do 
 the restless and fastidious seek relief by change 
 of scene — their anxieties cling close, and will 
 not be left behind. But if luxuries will nei- 
 ther soothe nor secure from pain, why, asks 
 the poet, conclusively, should I exchange my 
 Sabine farm for riches, which bring nothing 
 but troubles ? 
 
 1. Odi profanum, fyc] The language of the 
 priests at the opening of sacrificial rites. 'E/cac, 
 fiefirjXoi ! — knag, wag, oang dXirpog. Cal- 
 lim. Hym. Ap. 2. Addressed to the uniniti- 
 ated, or such as do not join in the ceremony. 
 Horace's poem is not meant for vulgar ears. 
 
 2. Favete Unguis.'] That is, cohibendo lin- 
 guas, which is equivalent to tacendo. Lin- 
 guis does not depend upon favete, but is an 
 ablative. The words arc addressed to the 
 
 initiated, when the profane are supposed to 
 be excluded. 
 
 Non prius audita, Sfc] Not heard before 
 by the boys and girls — not such as they are 
 accustomed to sing, at festivities, in honour of 
 the Gods. Od. i. 21. 
 
 3. Musarum sacerdos.] As a priest, in ac- 
 cordance with the introductory phrases. Ti- 
 bull. ii. 5. 
 
 5. Regum timend. Sfc] The authority of 
 kings extends only over their own subjects — 
 that of Jupiter over kings themselves — kings 
 and all. Therefore, even their power may be 
 controlled. 
 
 Timendorum.] That is, of course, the most 
 powerful. 
 
 Greges.] Subjects. Contemptuously — a 
 Roman had a horror of the name of king. 
 The correlative, iroifitveg, was in use with 
 the Greek poets, and also the Hebrew ones. 
 In after times, the terms were exclusively ap- 
 propriated by ecclesiastics. 
 
 7- Giganteo triumpho.] His triumph over 
 the giants. Introduced to shew more strongly 
 the extent of his power. Kings cannot stand 
 where even giants fell. 
 
 8. Cuncta superc. Sfc] Horn. II, i. 528. 
 Virg. JEn. ix. 10G.

 NOTES. 
 
 9. Est ut, 8fc.~\ Gr. Zariv wq, or ottmq — 
 such is the diversity of circumstances, that 
 one man is superior in riches, another in 
 birth, &c. but all must die. 
 
 Ordinet arbusta, fyc] Arbusta sulcis ordi- 
 nare, is to plant vines, olives, &c. in rows. 
 Latius.~\ More extensively. 
 
 10. Generosior.'] Of higher birth — of a 
 more illustrious family. 
 
 11. In Campum.'] The Campus Martius, 
 where the consuls, &c. were chosen by the 
 suffrages of their fellow-citizens. 
 
 Petitor.] Candidate for the honour of the 
 consulate, &c. 
 
 12. Hie meliorque, Sfc] Superior in cha- 
 racter and conduct — the novus homo, who de- 
 pends upon his merits for public favour. Que 
 couples moribus and fama. 
 
 14. Necessitas.] *Avdyicr), MoTpa. Fate, 
 or the executive agent of Fate. The Goddess 
 shakes the urn, into which every one's lot is 
 cast, and as each turns up the owner dies. 
 Plato, de Rep. x. 
 
 15. Insignes, et imos.] Compare Od. i. 4. 
 13 ; ii. 3. 26 ; and ii. 18. 32. 
 
 17- Destrictus, tyc] The connection is — 
 all must die ; but the case of the rich is worse 
 than that of the poor ; for while they live 
 they are miserable — anxiety takes away the 
 power of enjoyment — they cannot sleep 
 quietly. 
 
 Destrictus ensis, fyc] Sicilian feasts will 
 not elaborate a sweet flavour — with all the 
 pains and skill employed in preparation, they 
 will not gratify the palate of the man over 
 
 whose impious head hangs a drawn sword, 
 which threatens every instant to fall. The 
 poet alludes to the story of Damocles, at the 
 court of the elder Dionysius, king of Sicily — 
 it is told by Cicero. Tuscul. v. 21. 
 
 21. Reducent, Sfc] The music neither of 
 birds nor instruments will be able to bring 
 back sleep — to the pillow of him from whom 
 he (Deus Somnus) has fled — through fear of 
 impending death. 
 
 22. Humiles domos, Sfc.] Loves the cot- 
 tage, the shady bank, and Tempe's quiet 
 vales, fanned by the zephyrs. 
 
 Non fastidit, Sfc] Does not pass by them, 
 that is, but enters. 
 
 24. Tempe.] Neuter-plural. Vale of 
 Thessaly, through which the Peneus flows. 
 Od. i. 7. 4. 
 
 25. Desiderantem, fyc] Construe — neither 
 the tempestuous sea, nor the destructive vio- 
 lence of the setting Arcturus, or of the rising 
 Haedus, &c. troubles the man who requires 
 only what is sufficient for the necessities of 
 nature. Such a man is exempt from those 
 anxieties with which others are harassed — 
 the merchant, for instance, for his argosies 
 exposed to the perils of the sea ; or the lord of 
 vineyards and olive grounds, from the unto- 
 wardness of the seasons, &c. 
 
 27. Areturi cadentis.] Star in the knee of 
 Bootes — sets heliacally, 29th October. 
 
 28. Orientis Hcedi.] Instead of Htedorum. 
 Stars in the left arm of Erichthonius, rising 
 14th October. Considered as a tempestuous 
 season, as well as the setting of Arcturus.

 not returning what was entrusted to it 
 with due interest. So Ep. i. 7- 87- Spem 
 mentita seges, to which stands opposed sege-

 frost 
 
 31 . Torrentia agros sidera.'] Stars which 
 burn up the fields, the dog-star (Sirius) es- 
 pecially. The scorching effect upon vegeta- 
 tion, in the dog-days, was termed sideratio. 
 Pliny xvii. 24. 
 
 33. Contracta pisces, fyc] The fish feel 
 the seas contracted by the piers let into the 
 sea, to build houses upon. The poet alludes, 
 apparently, to the rage for building at Baiae, 
 and similar places on the waters, and his 
 meaning seems obviously to be, sarcastically 
 — the very fishes feel the encroachment upon 
 their domains. But the sense may be taken 
 more literally, as applying to the fish-pre- 
 serves, at that period, and long after, a prime 
 object of luxury among the opulent Romans. 
 Seneca, Ep. 89. Horace, Od. ii. 18. 20. and 
 Ep. i. 1. 84. 
 
 34. Hue] To the sea-side. 
 
 Frequens redemtor.'] The builder, with his 
 numerous workmen.

 dence was to be built.

 is, the employer with them, to urge on the

 Terra fastidiosus.] Disgusted with the

 — or, possibly, as in Od. ii. 18. 20. not con- 
 tent with his possessions on the land, he 
 must despoil the sea. 
 
 37- Sed Timor, fyc] But vain are his efforts 
 to escape from himself. Fear and threats — 
 the dread of threatening perils — of impending 
 death, or loss of riches, honours, &c. 
 
 38. Scandunt eodem.] Scil. loco. They 
 scale whatever height he climbs, and will not 
 be left behind. Od. ii. 16. 22. 
 
 39. Mratd triremi.] The bows of the 
 trireme were coppered, for strength. 
 
 41. Quod si, Sfc] But if the best marbles, 
 dresses, wines, and perfumes, soothe not the 
 rich man, when ill (dolentem), or harassed by 
 anxieties and alarms, &c. Ep. i. 2. 47. 
 
 Phrygius lapis.] Marble of Synnada, in 
 Phrygia, which surpassed all others in splen- 
 dour and beauty. It was red, like jasper.

 costus, a perfume obtained from a shrub of 
 the same name, growing in Patale, an island

 and called Ach&menium, because it came to

 ODE II. METRE VIII. 
 
 Whatever may have been the poet's parti- 
 cular object, he inculcates bravery in the 
 battle-field, integrity in public life, and piety 
 to the Gods — apparently in the way of advice 
 to a friend, to bring up his son in the prac- 
 tice of these virtues — with some implied cen- 
 sure on the education of the day. 
 
 1. Angustam, fyc] Let the boy — suppose 
 the son of Horace's friend — let him learn to 
 bear the ills of poverty with the severities of 
 military service. 
 
 Pauperiem.] Comparative poverty. Even 
 with angzcstam the word will imply nothing 
 like sordid penury. Comp. Od. i. 1. 18. 
 
 Angustam.'} In an active sense. The 
 poet expresses a state of fortune which 
 straitens the means of enjoyment. 
 
 3. Condiscat.~\ The word seems to couple 
 poverty and war. Thus — let him, steeled by 
 hard service, learn with it, to sustain the re- 
 strictions of poverty. 
 
 Parthos.] The Parthians — quoted as the 
 most formidable enemies of the Romans, at 
 the time. 
 
 4. Vexet, Sfc] Harass — attack — fight them 
 bravely. 
 
 5. Vitamque.] And spend his life — his 
 early life, &c. 
 
 Sub divo.] Bivouacking — in the open air, 
 — or in tents. 
 
 Trepidis in rebus.'] When the state is in 
 
 danger from the invasion of its enemies — or, 
 simply, in the tumults of war. The usual 
 reading is, sub divo et trepidis. The omis- 
 sion of et packs the construction closer, and 
 though it affects the metre, still leaves the 
 line like Od. i. 37. 14. 
 
 6. Ilium.] Him — a soldier of such distin- 
 guished bravery. 
 
 7. Matrona.] The wife. Matrona is a 
 word of more dignity than uxor. 
 
 8. Prospiciens.] Looking from the walls, 
 as Antigone in Eurip. Phceniss. 90, or Helen, 
 Iliad, iii. 154. 
 
 Adulta virgo.] Marriageable daughter. 
 
 9. Suspiret, §c] Utter with a sigh — Eheu, 
 &c. 
 
 Rudis agminum.] Unaccustomed to war. 
 
 10. Sponsus regius.] Her royal lover. 
 Lacessat.] Should provoke to his own de- 
 struction. 
 
 Asperum tactu, Sfc] The lion — the Roman 
 youth — rough, or dangerous to be handled — 
 perilous to encounter. 
 
 11. Cruenta ira.] Destructive rage. Ira, 
 as expressive of the lion's supposed temper. 
 
 13. Dulce et, %c] To die, in battle, for 
 one's country — to brave death in its defence, 
 is delightful and noble ; and, besides, to flinch 
 is no security against death.

 A line from Simo- 
 
 'O 5' av QavaroQ ticix* Kai tov 0uy6/xa%ov. 
 
 15. Nee parcit, 8fc] Pursues in order to 
 hamstring the coward youth, or to pierce 
 their backs. 
 
 17- Virtus, fyc] This is usually inter- 
 preted in the Stoic sense, as disdaining to 
 solicit honour and office. But as the poet 
 commends military glory in the service of his 
 country, so, more consistently, he would seem 
 to applaud civil services ; and the passage is 
 susceptible enough of such a construction. 
 Virtus will thus mean, the man whose virtues 
 (integrity, discretion, wisdom, and political 
 talents) are such as to command the suffrages 
 of his fellow-citizens. 
 
 Virtus, 8fc.~] The virtue, again, which en- 
 titles a man to honours and distinctions. 
 
 Repulstz nescia.~\ Who experiences no re- 
 pulse ; or if he be rejected, the rejection 
 brings with it no disgrace, because he has not 
 deserved it. 
 
 18. Intaminatis, .] Unpolluted — undisgraced 
 either by the manner of obtaining honours, or 
 of exercising office. 
 
 20. Arbitrio."] Not dependent on the will 
 or caprice of the people, but relying on his 
 own merits. 
 
 21. Immeritis mori.] To those who de- 
 serve not to die — the brave and good. 
 
 22. Negatd.] Denied — what cannot be 
 attained by men of inferior qualities. 
 
 23. Ccetusque vulgares.] The common herd 
 
 — the unenlightened, the uncultivated, gene- 
 rally, of whatever class. 
 
 Udam, Sfc] Spurns the earth — covered 
 with a cloudy, foggy atmosphere, and flies up 
 to the clear aether — the ccelum. 
 
 25. Est et fideli, Sfc] To faithful silence- 
 to a silence which exposes nothing entrusted 
 to it. Let the youth learn the rewards of 
 fidelity, and the penalties of perfidy. 
 
 26. Vetabo, Sfc] I will forbid — I will not 
 suffer the man who has divulged the rites of 
 Ceres, to be under the same roof with me, or 
 sail in the same boat — I will have nothing to 
 do with a perfidious person. 
 
 Cereris sacrum, Sfc] The mysteries of 
 Ceres observed at Eleusis in Attica. The 
 initiated were bound to inviolable secresy. 
 
 28. Fragilem.] The Egyptian boat was of 
 earthenware. Juvenal has phaselus fictilis, 
 xv. 127- 
 
 29. Phaselon.] A boat used by the Egyp- 
 tians — so named, probably, from its resem- 
 blance to the long pod of a species of bean of 
 the same name. A boat or ship of any kind

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE III. METRE VIII. 
 
 No terrors shake the man who is at once 
 just and firm in his purpose. It was thus 
 Pollux, Hercules, and Bacchus won immor- 
 tality, and thus Augustus wins the same glory. 
 By trie same virtues Romulus forced Juno to 
 give up her hatreds against the Trojan race, 
 and consent to receive him among the Gods, 
 on condition, still, that Troy should never be 
 rebuilt. This condition forms so conspicuous 
 a portion of the poem, that the poet's purpose 
 was doubtless to divert Augustus from the 
 plan he appears, at times, to have entertained 
 of removing the seat of empire to Troy. Ho- 
 race had expressed his abhorrence of a similar 
 scheme on the part of Cleopatra. Od. i. 35. 
 
 1. Tenacem propositi.] Firm in the prose- 
 cution, of course, of a just purpose. 
 
 Propositi.'} Of what is purposed, or planned 
 on the principles of justice. 
 
 2. Ardor.] Madness — perverted excite- 
 ment. 
 
 Prava jubentium.} Of his fellow-citizens, 
 commanding, by suffrage or acclamation, what 
 is contrary to justice. The usual term on 
 passing a law — Velitis, jubeatis, Quirites ? 
 were the words of the tribune ; volumus,jube- 
 musque, the reply of the people. 
 
 3. No?i vultus, fyc] Nor the frown of a 
 threatening tyrant. Phalaris licet imperet, 
 fyc. Juvenal, viii. 79. 
 
 4. Mente solidd, fyc] Shake him from his 
 fixed resolve. 
 
 Neque Auster, 8fc.~\ Even physical violence 
 is equally ineffective. The terrors of ship- 
 wreck in the Adriatic, when roused by the 
 
 Auster, or Notus, will not stagger him, &c. 
 Od. i. 3. 15 ; ii. 17- 19. 
 
 6. Magna manus.} That powerful hand 
 which hurls the thunderbolt. Od. i. 2. 3. 
 
 9. Hac arte, fyc] By this indomitable 
 spirit — by this resolute prosecution of a noble 
 purpose. 
 
 Pollux.} Scil. with Castor. 
 
 Vagus.} That is, who ranged over the 
 greater part of the earth, and every where left 
 memorials of his virtue. Eurip. Here. Fu- 
 rens 1196. 
 
 10. Enisus.] Toiling, with indefatigable 
 labours, he finally reached the skies. 
 
 Arces igneas.] The lofty regions of the 
 sun and stars — " those lights that burn eter- 
 nally." 
 
 11. Quos inter, fyc.] Deified by the same 
 virtues, Augustus, by anticipation, drinks nec- 
 tar with the Gods. Cum diis epulari — deorum 
 mensez et dapibus adhiberi, &c. ancient phrases 
 for deification. This is the first time the name 
 Augustus is met with in Horace. The title 
 was conferred 727 U. C. Od. i. 2. 
 
 12. Purpureo.] Repeatedly used of any 
 thing conspicuously beautiful or brilliant, in 
 things or persons. Here it is the refulgence 
 of the deity. Virg. JEn. i. 5. 90. 
 
 13. Merentem, fyc] Proving himself de- 
 serving to be elevated to the skies. 
 
 Trice vexere tigres, fyc] After his con- 
 quest of India, Od. ii. 19. 17- Tigers, the 
 fiercest animals of India, subdued and tamed, 
 drew his triumphal car. 
 
 14. Indocili.] From their fierceness not 
 easily taught obedience.

 NOTES. 
 
 16. Martis equis, Sfc] For these same vir- 
 tues Romulus escaped Acheron, borne up by 
 the horses of Mars, his father, to the skies. 
 
 17- Gratum elocuta, #c] Speaking wel- 
 comely — Juno made a speech which was ac- 
 ceptable to the Gods. She surrendered her 
 hostility to the Trojans, and the Romans their 
 descendants, for the sake of her son Mars. 
 
 Consiliantibus. ,] Deliberating upon the re- 
 ception of Romulus. 
 
 18. Ilion, fyc] Construe — Paris and Helen 
 levelled with the dust Troy, already given 
 up, with its king and people — a deodand — to 
 Juno and Minerva, from the time that Lao- 
 medon cheated the Gods of their pay. 
 
 19. Fatalis.~] Avairapig — aivo7rapig — 
 destined to be the destruction of Troy. 
 
 Incestus.~] For running away with the wife 
 of the man who had welcomed him to his 
 house. 
 
 Judex.] Invidiously for Paris. Appointed 
 umpire by the Goddesses, Juno, Minerva, 
 and Venus, he assigned the prize of beauty 
 to Venus, and by that act especially offended 
 Juno. Virg. JEn. i. 27- 
 
 20. Mulier peregrina.] Contemptuously 
 for Helen. 
 
 21. Ex quo destituit Deos.] Apollo and 
 Neptune had bargained to rebuild the walls of 
 Troy, for a set of horses ; which Laomedon, 
 on -the completion of the work, refused to 
 deliver. Iliad, xxi. 443. Hence Laomedon- 
 tea perjuria gentis. Virg. JEn. iv. 542. 
 
 Destituit, 8fc.~\ Said of those who break 
 their engagements — who leave their creditors 
 in the lurch. 
 
 23. Damnatum.] Ilium, sentenced and con- 
 signed to Juno and Minerva, as insolvents to 
 their creditors, who were then entitled to ex- 
 
 act, by forced labour, &c. satisfaction for the 
 fraud committed on them. Why Ilium is 
 thus given up to Juno and Minerva, for an 
 offence against Apollo and Neptune, does not 
 appear — unless the debt had been, as we say, 
 made over to them. 
 
 24. Cum populo, fyc] Frauds were sup- 
 posed to be visited on posterity (Od. i. 28. 
 30.) — the third and fourth generation of the 
 Decalogue; and subjects to suffer for their 
 kings. Ep. i. 2. 14. 
 
 Duce fraudulento.] Priam, who by pro- 
 tecting his son shared his guilt. He was an 
 accessory after the fact. 
 
 25. Nee splendet.] No longer shines — no 
 longer charms the Spartan Helen, by his 
 beauty and accomplishments. 
 
 Laccence adulters.] A dative, depending 
 on splendet. Od. ii. 16. 14. 
 
 26. Famosus.] Notorious, or infamous for 
 his violation of hospitality. 
 
 Priami domus perj.] The hereditary stain 
 derived from the perjury of Laomedon. 
 
 29. Ductum.] Protracted ten years by 
 the factions of the Gods, some favouring the 
 Greeks, some the Trojans. 
 
 30. Protenus.] Henceforth. 
 
 31. Nepotem.] Romulus, as the son of 
 Mars, was the grandson of Juno. 
 
 32. Tro'ia sacerdos.] Ilia, the mother of 
 Romulus — a priestess of Vesta. 
 
 33. Marti redonabo, 8fc] I will give up 
 my indignation against the Trojans, to oblige 
 my son Mars ; and for his sake pardon my 
 grandson, who has hitherto been hateful to 
 me, on account of his Trojan mother. 
 
 Lucidas sedes.] Olympus — Sdjfxara aiyXrj-

 tranquil ranks of the Gods, instead of the — 
 ranks of the tranquil Gods. The felicity of 
 the Gods is ascribed to the peace and calm of 
 their condition, undisturbed by human pas- 
 sions — the common sentiments of the Epicu- 
 reans, and even of the Stoics, but awkward 
 words in the mouth of Juno, who is only, at 
 the moment, after the wrath of ages, resign- 
 ing her angry resentments. Virg. JEn. iv. 
 379. 
 
 37- Dum.'] Provided that, &c. 
 
 Inter sceviat, fyc] The wide sea rages be- 
 tween Rome and the ruins of Troy — that is, 
 separates them — prevents their uniting. 
 
 38. Exules, Sfc] The Romans — the pos- 
 terity of Troy — driven from their paternal 
 land — let them reign where they will — the 
 whole world over, &c. 
 
 40. Dum, Sfc] So that cattle trample upon 
 the tombs of Priam and Paris, and wild 
 beasts, undisturbed, lay their young in them, 
 the Capitol may stand (fulgens) refulgent, 
 the seat of their triumphs, &c. The respect 
 for tombs was such, that no stronger expres- 
 sion could be imagined for the bitter enmity 
 of Juno. 
 
 42. Celent, 8(c] Lay them, there — in the 
 tombs of Priam and Paris — unexposed to any 
 disturbance from man. It expresses the utter 
 desolation of the scene. 
 
 43. Possit, Sfc] Rome may, for ine, be 
 
 powerful enough to triumph over the Par- 
 thians, and impose laws upon them. 
 
 45. Horrenda, §c] Formidable from her 
 power and bravery, she may extend her name 
 to the extremities of the world — where the 
 sea divides Europe from Africa, and the swell- 
 ing Nile floods the lands of Egypt. Here is 
 an allusion to Augustus's conquests in Spain 
 and Egypt, the extremities of the Roman 
 power, east and west, at the time.

 spemere (Gr. instead of spernendo, or dum 
 spernit) quam cogere, (aurum cogendo) dextrd 
 rapiente omne sacrum in usus humanos. Rome 
 will be braver and greater while she curbs 
 the desire of wealth, &c. 
 
 Irrepertum.] That is, as Horace explains, 
 while terra celat. 
 
 Sic melius situm.] So better placed — better 
 remain buried in the earth, than brought 
 forth to excite cupidity. 
 
 51. Humanos.] That is, profane uses.

 most sacred. 
 
 Rapiente.] Seizing and plundering for the 
 sake of golden ornaments, &C.

 the world, which Rome desires to visit, whe- 
 ther where the fires or the rains rage, that let

 ODE IV. METRE VIII. 
 
 The poet, invoking Calliope, and recog- 
 nising her presence, confesses himself indebted 
 to her protection, on many critical occasions ; 
 and, as a devout worshipper, has full confi- 
 dence of safety, under her auspices, go where 
 he will. Caesar (Augustus) in like manner 
 experiences her protection ; when exhausted 
 with wars, he cultivates, in repose, her favours. 
 On the other hand, all who neglect her for 
 more turbulent pursuits, suffer from their 
 
 folly. Though the name of Caesar is intro- 
 duced so indirectly, the main purpose of the 
 poem was probably to compliment him on his 
 taste for poetry. 
 
 1. Ccelo.] The Muses mixed with other 
 divinities in Olympus ; and are called Olym- 
 piades. Horn. II. ii. 491.

 Amabilis insania?] Or does some sweet 
 illusion cheat my senses ?

 her, and I seem myself to be roaming, or 
 pacing in the groves of the Muses. Compare 
 Od. iii. 25. 12—14. 
 
 Pios.'] Sacred to the Muses, and only to 
 be frequented by their pious proteges. 
 
 8. Quos et, fyc.] Gliding streams, and 
 fanning zephyrs — essential to the beauty of 
 groves dedicated to the Muses. 
 
 9. Me fabulosae, fyc] From my childhood 
 I have enjoyed the favour and protection of 
 the Muses. It was they who protected me, 
 when, while a child, I strayed from home, 
 and fell asleep in a strange place, exposed to 
 snakes and bears. The poet speaks as of a 
 fact. The agency of the pigeons is, of course, 
 as ornamental as that of the Muses. Pindar 
 has something of the same kind of his child- 
 hood. 
 
 Fabuhsce.] Whose ministry is often em- 
 ployed in tales and fables. Odys. xii. 62. 
 
 Vulture in Appulo.] Vultur, or Vulturnus, 
 a mountain of Apulia, which extends into 
 Lucania. Appulo is added, apparently, to 
 indicate the Apulian side of the range of 
 hills. 
 
 10. Altricis Apulia.] My Apulian nurse 
 —my birth-place, Venusia, which stood on 
 the confines of Apulia and Lucania. 
 
 Nam Venusinus arat finem sub utrumque 
 colonus. 
 Sat. i. 2. 35. 
 
 Extra limen.] Out of the boundaries of 
 Venusia. The child had strayed out of the 
 limits of the town — or of his father's grounds. 
 
 11. Ludo, 8fc] i. e. Ludo somnoque fati- 
 gatum — strictly, tired with play, and over- 
 come with sleep. Just so in Horn. Ii. xii. 98. 
 
 12. Fronde nova.] Compare line 19, 
 where the boughs are said to have consisted 
 of lam-el and myrtle. 
 
 13. Mirum quod foret, 8(C.] Which — my 
 sleeping in the open air, and being covered 
 with leaves by the wood-pigeons — was matter 
 of marvel to all the people of the three towns 
 of Acherontia, Bantia, and Forentum, in the 
 neighbourhood of the Vulturnus. 
 
 14. Celsce nidum Ach.] Acherontia was 
 on the crest of the hill — like a nest on the 
 top of a tree. 
 
 15. Saltusque Bantinos.] Bantia begirt 
 with forest-lands. 
 
 16. Humilis Forenti.] Forentum, at the 
 foot of the mountain, and now called Forenza. 
 
 17. Ut tuto, Sfc.] How I slept with my 
 person unhurt by vipers and bears.

 gether from a distance by the wood-pigeons.

 in a place so full of peril — I must be under

 his villa or farm. Od. ii. 18. 14. 
 
 22. Frigidum Prceneste.] Now Palestrina 
 — a town of ancient Latium, built on a hill, 
 and so exposed and comparatively cold. 
 
 23. Tibur supinum.'] Now Tivoli, built on 
 the gentle slope of a hill. 
 
 24. Liquidte.] Baise, a favourite marine 
 residence of the Romans on the Campanian 
 coast. Liquidce expresses, apparently, what 
 we call a watering-place, unless the word be 
 referrible solely to the purity or transparency 
 of the waters. Volcanic convulsions have so 
 changed the scene, that the very site of Baias 
 is no longer discoverable. 
 
 25. Vestris amicum, Sfc] Me, because I 
 am fond of your fountains and society — me, 
 because I am a poet, &c. 
 
 26. Philippis, fyc] The routed army — 
 the defeat at Philippi did not crush me, &c. 
 He attributes his safety, on that occasion, to 
 Mercury. Od. ii. 11. j. 
 
 27. Devota.] Accursed. Od. ii. 13. 1—3. 
 
 28. Palinurus.] Now C. Spartimento — 
 a promontory on the Lucanian coast, near 
 Velia. Off this cape, Palinurus, ./Eneas's 
 pilot, was drowned. Virg. Mn. vi. 381. 
 
 Siculd undd.] Strictly, Palinurus is two 
 degrees of latitude north of the Straits of 
 Sicily. Horace has not elsewhere alluded to 
 this peril of shipwreck off Palinurus. 
 
 29. Utcunque, fyc] In your company, I 
 shall go any where without apprehension. 
 
 30. Bosporum.] Od. ii. 13. 15. 
 
 31. Tentabo.] I will brave — I will boldly 
 attempt, &c. 
 
 Arentes arenas, Sfc] The dry sands — 
 the sandy deserts of Syria — not literally of 
 the shore, but of Palmyra, &c. 
 
 33. Hospitibus feros.] They were said to 
 sacrifice strangers. 
 
 34. Concanum.] The Concani occupied 
 the province of Asturias, in Spain. Of this 
 practice of theirs no mention is made else- 
 where, but, according to Strabo, they had 
 much in common with the Scythians, iii. p. 
 165. Compare Virgil, Georg. iii. 464. and 
 Mart. Spec. iii. 4. 
 
 35. Gelonos.] A tribe of Sarmatians, be- 
 tween the mouths of the Danube and the 
 Dnieper. They are described as sagittiferi 
 by Virg. Mn. viii. 725. 
 
 36. Scythicum amnem.] The Tanais, now 
 the Don, usually considered as the western 
 limit of the Scythians.

 your society he relieves his labours, &c. 
 Suetonius (Oct. 51.) speaks of the literary 
 pursuits of Augustus.

 ODE V. METRE VIII. 
 
 The submission of the Pavthians and the 
 Britons to the power of Augustus, made at 
 once a perfect deity of him. Phraates, king 
 of the Parthians, in apprehension of the ad- 
 vance of the Roman troops (U. C. 734) gave 
 up to Augustus the captives and standards 
 taken many years before at the defeats of 
 Crassus and Antony. These captives had 
 married Parthians — grown old in the service 
 of their masters — forgotten Rome, and were, 
 Horace considers, unworthy of the name of 
 Romans, or of being restored to the Imperial 
 city. To confirm his sentiments, he intro- 
 duces Regulus, and the advice which he gave 
 to the senate, at the sacrifice of his own life, 
 against the redemption of prisoners of war. 
 
 1. Coelo tonantem, fyc] As we believe Ju- 
 piter reigns in heaven, because he thunders 
 there, so we must believe Augustus is a God 
 upon earth, because he has added the Par- 
 thians and the Britons to the Empire. 
 
 Credidimus.] Indefinitely — we have al- 
 ways believed — we usually believe. 
 
 3. Adjectis Brit. fyc] Though an expedi- 
 tion was meditated, none was ever actually 
 undertaken by Augustus against the Britons ; 
 but, it appears, by the testimony of Strabo, 
 (iv. p. 138.) that many of the chieftains had 
 tendered their submissions to the emperor — 
 which is sufficient ground for the poet's adula- 
 tory purposes. Besides, the word is adjectis, 
 and not subjectis. It was the same with the 
 Parthians, they were never conquered by Au- 
 gustus. 
 
 4. Gravibusque.] Who had inflicted so 
 great a calamity and stain upon Rome by the 
 defeat of Crassus. 
 
 5. Milesne, fyc] The poet is shocked at 
 
 the degeneracy of the Roman spirit. Has 
 Crassus' soldier lived, a husband, in degrada- 
 tion, with a barbarian wife ? Could Roman 
 soldiers degrade themselves by marrying Par- 
 thian wives 1 
 
 Conjuge barbard turpis, 8fc.] ■ Conjuge bar- 
 bard must be construed with turpis — not with 
 maritus, a construction which would have re- 
 quired a genitive. 
 
 7. Pro Curia.] i. e. Curia inversa ! cor- 
 rupted senate, that could ever consent, not, 
 in this case, to redeem, but to receive back 
 these degenerate Romans. 
 
 Inversique meres.] O the corrupted habits 
 or principles of the times, to sanction such 
 degeneracy. 
 
 8. Consenuit socerorum, Sfc] Grown old on 
 the lands of those whose daughters they have 
 married — though the enemies of their country. 
 
 9. Medo.] For Parthian — as often occurs. 
 
 Marsus, et Appulus.] Repeatedly, the na- 
 tives of these provinces are distinguished as the 
 bravest of the Roman troops. Od. ii. 20. 18. 
 
 10. Anciliorum.] Scil. imperii. These 
 ancilia were regarded as the pledges or pal- 
 ladia for the eternity of Rome. Of the twelve 
 shields, called ancilia, or anci/lia, from the 
 Greek word ayKv\oc, expressive of their 
 form ; one, the gift of Egeria to Numa, was 
 held in the profoundest respect. Wherever 
 that might be, there must be the seat of 
 empire. 
 
 Toga.] The national and peculiar dress of 
 the Roman citizens. 
 
 12. Incolumi Jove, $c.] The Capitol, still 
 under the protection of Jupiter, and the city 
 in safety. 
 
 Jove.] i. e. Jupiter Capitolinus, and by 
 implication, the Capitol itself, which was 
 under the especial protection of Jupiter.

 NOTES. 
 
 13. Hoc caverat, fyc] Hoc, i. e. a disgrace 
 of this kind, inflicted by the return of prison- 
 ers of war, the care of Regulus had provided 
 against, &c. 
 
 Reguli.'] Regulus had been taken prisoner 
 with his army, in the first Punic war, and 
 being himself despatched by the conquerors 
 to Rome to negotiate the redemption of the 
 prisoners, he dissuaded the senate from an 
 act which would tend to the ruin of Roman 
 valour and discipline. The case of the cap- 
 tives, voluntarily restored by the Parthians, 
 was not precisely that of the captives at Car- 
 thage ; but the principle was the same — brave 
 men should prefer death to captivity. 
 
 Mens provida Reg.~\ The provident mea- 
 sure, on the part of Regulus, who saw how 
 pernicious such an example would prove to 
 the state. 
 
 14. Dissentientis.] Dissenting from — re- 
 sisting the foul and disgraceful terms — re- 
 demption from a condition which they ought 
 not to have survived. 
 
 15. Exemplo, Sfc] A precedent which 
 would bring destruction upon future ages. 
 
 17- Si non periret, Sfc] If they were re- 
 deemed, and not rather left to the severity of 
 the enemy. 
 
 Immiserabilis.'] For immiserata — unre- 
 deemed by the weak compassion of the 
 senate. 
 
 18. Signa ego, fyc] The standards won 
 from the Romans. This is Regulus's speech 
 to the senate. 
 
 19. Affixa.] Suspended in the temples — 
 fastened to the walls. 
 
 20. Milit. sine cade.] Who had dastardly 
 surrendered, without a stroke — without 
 fighting. 
 
 21. Civium — tergo — libero.] Instead of 
 tergo liberorum civium. I have seen Roman 
 citizens with their hands tied behind their 
 backs — a circumstance of disgrace adapted to 
 alienate and exasperate the senate. 
 
 23. Portasque non clusas.] The gates of 
 Carthage thrown wide open — indicating how 
 little the Carthaginians regarded the power 
 of the Romans. Clusas, an old form, for 
 clausas. 
 
 Arva Marte, <^c] Lands which we had 
 laid waste, cultivated by our own soldiers, as 
 captives. 
 
 25. Scilicet.] Sarcastically. The term is 
 often thus employed, as affirming, what in 
 effect is denied. 
 
 Auro repensus, Sfc] Redeemed with 
 gold, the man, forsooth, will be the braver 
 soldier ! 
 
 26. Flagitio add. damn.] You add the 
 loss of your money to the disgrace incurred 
 by your armies. You will throw away the 
 money without effacing the infamy. 
 
 27. Neque amissos, Sfc] The sense is — 
 the bravery of men is like the purity of wool ; 
 once dyed, the wool never resumes its original 
 colour ; and the brave man, who has once 
 lost his spirit, never recovers it again. 
 
 Amissos.] The original colour lost and 
 merged in the dye. 
 
 28. Refert.] Resumes. 
 
 Medicata fuco.] Fucus is sea-weed — not 
 the dyeing material, but used as a mordant 
 to fix the new colour. Of course " lana me- 
 dicata fuco" is meant to express " wool dyed." 
 
 29. Quum semel excidit.] When once she 
 leaves the soldier — when once the soldier 
 loses his courage. 
 
 Nee curat, 4*c] She cares not — that is,

 their backs.

 to the infamy.

 38. Pacem duello miscuit.] Instead of 
 fighting bravely to the last, thought of peace 
 — bargained for life by submission. 
 
 41. Fertur, Sfc] He is said to have re- 
 pelled the embraces of his family, and to have 
 sternly fixed his face upon the ground, as a 
 slave, unworthy to embrace a wife and chil-

 his head in an assembly of freemen. 
 
 42. Ut capitis minor.] One who had lost 
 any of the rights of a citizen, was said to be 
 capite deminutus. , This deminutio capitis, loss 
 of rank or caste, was of three degrees — 
 
 maxima, when citizens, by capture, or other- 
 wise, lost not only their freedom as Romans, 
 but became slaves, as was Regulus's case ; 
 minor, or media, when they lost freedom only ; 
 minima, when adopted into another family 
 they lost the privileges of their own. 
 
 43. Virilem.] Eminently that of a free- 
 man — opposed to capitis minor. 
 
 45. Donee, fyc] Whilst he laboured to fix 
 the wavering senators, and hastened, without 
 regard to any thing else, to quit the country. 
 That is, his sole object was to urge upon the 
 senators his advice, and depart without exer- 
 cising, farther, the rights of a citizen, and 
 not at all those of a husband and father. 
 
 46. Numquam alias dato.] As a measure 
 which involved his own ruin. 
 
 48. Egregius.] With reference to the un- 
 paralleled disinterestedness of his counsel. 
 
 49. Atqui sciebat, <yc] Yet he knew the 
 tortures which awaited him at Carthage. 
 The story of Regulus has been questioned, of 
 late years, by some critical investigators of 
 Roman History. 
 
 50. Non aliter, eye] He put aside his re- 
 latives, and the people who gathered round 
 him and opposed his departure, just as — with 
 the same indifference as if he was only leav- 
 ing his clients in a crowded court, after the 
 business of the day, and going into the 
 country.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE VI. METRE VIII. 
 
 The poet ascribes the civil wars, and the 
 corruption of manners among the Romans, to 
 their neglect of the Gods, and anticipates no 
 amendment till the temples are repaired, &c. 
 The poem was probably written after Au- 
 gustus had expressed his intention to repair 
 them — to re-establish the sacred rites, and 
 enforce good morals ; and thus the whole piece 
 may be regarded as an indirect compliment 
 to the emperor — the saviour of the state, and 
 the regenerator of morals. 
 
 1. Delicta majorum.] The crimes of your 
 fathers, especially, the civil wars — offences 
 against the Gods and your country. 
 
 Immeritus.] Though personally unde- 
 serving, you will pay the penalty. Od. iii. 
 2. 30. 
 
 3. JEdesque.] The delubra — the smaller 
 shrines or chapels, either under the same roof 
 with the larger temple, or within the sacred 
 precincts, which is, in strictness, the meaning 
 of templum. But templa cedesque should, ap- 
 parently, be taken together as comprising all 
 the buildings within the sacred enclosure. 
 
 Labentes.] Falling — in a ruinous state. 
 Many had suffered, more or less, from con- 
 flagrations. Suet. Oct. 30. 
 
 4. Fceda nigro sim. fumo.] Black and 
 dirty from long neglect — nothing, perhaps, 
 
 but the effect of accumulation of dust. The 
 statues of the Gods, too, were, when the rites 
 were in full observance, discoloured by smoke 
 from the frequent burning of incense, but 
 cleansed by annual lustrations. The poet 
 may allude to the neglect of these lustrations, 
 as additional evidence of disregard for sacred 
 matters. Some of the simulacra, also, doubt- 
 less had suffered from conflagrations. 
 
 5. Dis, 8fc] Because — or, as long as, you 
 bear yourselves in subordination to the Gods, 
 you command — you are the masters of the 
 world. The empire depends upon your 
 obedience to the Gods. Cic. de Harusp. 
 Resp. 9. 
 
 6. Hinc, Sfc] From the Gods trace every 
 beginning — to them refer every end. Whe- 
 ther you plan or execute, do all under the 
 auspices of the Gods. 
 
 7- Di multa, Sfc] It is because they have 
 been disregarded, that they have inflicted so 
 many woes on Italy. Od. iii. 2. 30. 
 
 9. Jam bis, Sfc] First, Monaeses (usually 
 called Surena, his official title, apparently) 
 the commander in chief of Orodes, king of 
 the Parthians, defeated Crassus ; and next, 
 Pacorus, son of Orodes, and himself king of 
 Parthia, routed both Antony and his lieu- 
 tenants. Dio. xlviii. 24. and xlix. 24. 
 
 10. Non auspicatos.] Undertaken without 
 the sanction of the- Gods — in contempt of

 Antony is always spared — leads the poet to 
 ascribe much of the corruption of the times to 
 the scandalous example presented by them.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE VII. METRE IV. 
 
 The poet consoles Asteria, while weeping 
 for the absence of her lover, with assurances 
 of his safety, of his speedy return, and, more- 
 over, of his fidelity — warning her, at the same 
 time, not to listen with too much pleasure to 
 the serenades of her neighbour, Enipeus. The 
 poem is, apparently, . an imitation of some 
 Greek lines. 
 
 1. Quid fles, fyc] Construe Quid fles Gy- 
 gem ? 
 
 Quern, fyc] Why weep thus for the absence 
 of Gyges, whom, with the early spring, the 
 Zephyrs will restore to you, rich and faithful ?

 skies — which bring fine weather. Od. i. 4. 1. 
 Favonius serenus. Plaut. Mercat. v. 2. 25. 
 
 3. Thynd merce.] With merchandize 
 brought from Bithynia. Of old, the Thyni 
 occupied that part of Bithynia which is near- 
 est the Euxine, and the Bithyni, the interior ; 
 but they came, by degrees, to be indiscrimi- 
 nately called Bithyni. They were engaged 
 in foreign commerce, especially of India goods, 
 and in hardware manufactures. Bithynian 
 rings and knives were in great repute. Isi-

 Oricum.'] A town on the coast of Epirus, 
 
 with a good harbour. 
 
 6. Post insana Caprrc, <yc] Driven to Ori- 
 
 cum, after the raging stars of the Goat — that 
 is, by the storm excited by those stars, or at 
 their setting or rising. Both the rising and 
 setting were reckoned stormy seasons — the 
 rising, at the end of September — the setting, 
 in the beginning of January.

 10. Chloen.] I. e. the hospita. 
 
 Tuis ignibus.] Is inflamed by your fires 
 • — is deeply in love with your own Gyges.

 of Antea or Sthenolaea, and of Hippolyta, 
 by the former of whom Bellerophon, and by 
 the latter Peleus, were exposed to great 
 dangers. 
 
 Mulier perfida.] Antea — unfaithful to her

 was usually kept the tus intended to be burnt 
 at the sacrifice — not the pan or vessel in which 
 it was actually burnt. Sat. i. 5. 36. 
 
 3. Carbo.] Coal, or charcoal rather, placed, 
 ready for kindling, on the turf-altar. 
 
 4. Vivo.'] Fresh-cut. 
 
 5. Docte, 8fc.~\ Well acquainted with both 
 Greek and Roman literature — with the cus- 
 toms, and rites, and antiquities of both people. 
 You wonder at these preparations of mine, 
 not being aware, with all your knowledge, of 
 any public or customary occasion for such a 
 solemnity. 
 
 6. Voveram, fyc] It is not a public occa- 
 sion, but entirely a private one. It is in con- 
 sequence of a vow — a festival and a goat in 
 honour of Bacchus, as a grateful commemora- 
 tion of the day on which, but for his protec- 
 tion, I should have been killed, &c. 
 
 7- Libero.'] In Od. ii. 17. 28. the escape 
 is ascribed to Faunus, and Od. iii. 4. 27. to 
 the Muses. 
 
 9. Hie dies, anno red. Sfc] This festive day, 
 the Calends of March, in each returning year, 
 shall remove the cortex from an amphora, 
 which has been drinking the smoke ever 
 since the year Tullus was consul. The wine 
 is kept for this especial purpose. 
 
 10. Demovebit.] Instead of the dimovebit 
 of other editions. D/movere applies to many 
 things, rfemovere to one. "Words compounded 
 with di and de are often confounded — originat- 
 ing in the negligence or ignorance of tran- 
 scribers. 
 
 Corticem.] The cork, or bung, fastened 
 with pitch, or rosin, and sometimes with wax, 
 and sealed. 
 
 11. Amphorce.] Amphora, or cadus, was an 
 earthen jar, with a narrow mouth, and two 
 handles, containing eight or nine gallons. 
 
 Fumum bibere.] To imbibe smoke. The 
 ancients had repositories in the upper part of 
 their houses, accessible to the smoke from 
 below, where the wine in amphorce was sup- 
 posed to imbibe the smoke, and mellow — thus 
 accelerating the slow effects of age. Colum. 
 de R. R. i. 6. 20. 
 
 Institutes.] Set up, or placed in the apo- 
 thecce or repositories. 
 
 12. Consule Tullo.] That is, 689 U. C, the 
 year in which L. Volcatius Tullus was consul 
 with M. iEmilius Lepidus. Of course, if the 
 Ode was written, as it appears from line 22 to 
 have been, 734 U. C, the wine must have 
 been forty-seven years old. Another Tullus was 
 consul U. C. 721 ; but Horace twice speaks of 
 wine of his own age, that is, of the vintage of 
 689 U. C. (Od. iii. 21. 1. and Epod. 13. 8.) 
 This, however, may be not quite decisive, be- 
 cause those lines may have been written earlier 
 than his forty-seventh year; but in Od. iii. 14. 
 18. he alludes to wine Mar si memorem belli, 
 and that at a date which will certainly make 
 it more than fifty years old. 
 
 13. Sume, Sfc] Come and take a hundred 
 cyathi, in commemoration of your friend's 
 deliverance, &c. 
 
 Cyathos.] The cyathus held the twelfth 
 part of a sextarius, (the sextarius about a 
 pint) — it was of the form of a spoon, or bi- 
 valve-shell, and with it wine was measured 
 into drinking-cups, and diluted in fixed pro- 
 portions with water. 
 
 14. Vigiles lucemas, fyc] Keep the lamps 
 burning till day-light — keep up the festivities 
 — drink till morning. 
 
 16. Clamor, et ira.] Let there be no bicker- 
 ings nor tumults. 
 
 17- Mitte, Sfc] Maecenas was, at this time, 
 praefect of the city, 734 U. C. Augustus 
 was in the East. Tacit. Ann. vi. 11. Dio.

 Daci. Apparently they occupied the shores 
 of the lower Danube, or spread towards the

 assigned is the Don ; but there is no evidence

 ODE X. METRE III. 
 
 At the door of Lyce, in the night, when 
 tbe snow lies on the ground, and the winds 
 whistle, the poet deprecates the cruelty of his 
 mistress, and implores her to admit him — 
 warning her that his powers of endurance are 
 limited. Compare Od. i. 25 ; Propert. i. 16. 7 ; 
 Ovid, Am. i. 6 ; Theoc. 3. and 23. 
 
 1. Extremum.] Not strictly as of the re- 
 motest river, but as very distinct. Just as ex- 
 tremi Arabes, extremi Indi, ultima Africa, &c. 
 
 Tanain.] The Don. 
 
 Si biberes.'] If you drank the waters of 
 the Don — if you were the wife of a Scythian. 
 
 2. Scevo nupta.] The wife of a Scythian, 
 who would visit your infidelities with the 
 severest vengeance. 
 
 Asperas ante fores.] Before the cruel doors 
 ■ — expressively for, your doors thus cruelly 
 closed against me. 
 
 3. Incolis.] That eternally dwell — are re- 
 sidents in Scythia. Od. i. 16. 6. 
 
 4. Plorares.] You would weep — you would 
 have too much pity to expose me, thus pros- 
 trate, to the winds, &c. 
 
 5. Nemus inter pulch., fyc] The trees and 
 shrubs in the impluvium — the interior, or 
 court, or quadrangle, around which the dwel- 
 ling and offices were built. Ep. i. 10. 22; 
 Tibull. iii. 3. 15. 
 
 6. Pulchra tecta.] Lyce therefore occupied 
 a considerable house, and may be supposed to 
 have been of a respectable rank in life. 
 
 7- Positas.] The snows which lay on the 
 ground. 
 
 Et positas ut glaciet.] Supply percipis, or 
 something like it, after et. 
 
 8. Puro numine.] Clear sky — clear, frosty 
 night. Jupiter for a'er. 
 
 10. Ne currente rota.] A crane- wheel, sup- 
 pose, for raising weights aloft by means of a 
 rope, which will run backward if the counter- 
 acting power be withdrawn. Do not strain 
 your power, lest, — like the rope of a crane- 
 wheel, which, too heavily laden, runs down 
 again — it fail you at last. 
 
 11. Penelopen difficilem.] As chaste as 
 Penelope — the wife of Ulysses. Od. ii. 6. 7- 
 
 12. Tyrrhenus.] Lyce was thus an Etru- 
 rian, and the Etrurian ladies were not famed 
 for severity. Athen. xii. 3. 
 
 14. Tinctus viold pallor.] Poetically for 
 pallor violaceus. A bilious hue seems to be 
 meant. Pliny speaks of violets, purpurea;, 
 LUTEiE, albce. Comp. Ep. i. 10. 16. pallor 
 luteus. This paleness is one of the symp- 
 toms of love — the effect of suspense and agi-

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE XI. METRE VI. 
 
 The poet invokes Mercury and the lyre — 
 that lyre which tames tigers, and chains 
 rivers ; which once charmed Cerberus, and 
 beguiled Ixion and Tityos of the sense of 
 their tortures — to aid him with a song, to 
 which Lyde, as skittish as a three-year old 
 filly,- may lend an ear, and one that, by the 
 tale of the Danaides, shall teach her the fates 
 of cruel maidens. 
 
 1. Mercuri.'] In Od. i. 10. 6. Mercury is 
 Curves lyra parens — that is, of the Testudo, 
 the lyre, which was first made of the shell of 
 the testudo, or tortoise. 
 
 Docilis.] Is one who learns with ease, as 
 well from natural facility, as from good 
 teaching. 
 
 Te magistro.] For with you for his mas- 
 ter — or, taught by you — Amphion made the 
 stones move. Therefore you can sing what 
 Lyde will listen to. 
 
 2. Amphion, $c] While Amphion was 
 playing on the lyre, the stones with which 
 
 the walls of Thebes were to be built, spon- 
 taneously, to the cadence of the music, ar- 
 ranged themselves in their places. 
 
 3. Resonare septem, <yc] Hence Xvpa 
 £7rra%op^of, kiTTarovoQ, kitTaipSroyyoQ. 
 
 4. Callida.] i. e. qua; calles. 
 
 5. Nee loquax olim, fyc] Once — before 
 Mercury discovered your capabilities — you 
 neither spoke (loquax) — had no music in you, 
 nor gave any body pleasure (grata). 
 
 6. Divitum mensis.] Aairog iraipi] and 
 XopoirvTTog. Horn. Hymn, in Merc. 31. 
 
 7- Obstinatas.] Strictly it was Lyde, not 
 her ears that refused to listen. 
 
 9. Equa.] In Od. ii. 5, 6. Lalage, in 
 similar circumstances with Lyde, is termed 
 juvenca. 
 
 10. Ludit exultim.] 'EntpruxTa icai^u. 
 Anacr. i. 1, 
 
 Metuitque tangi.] Fears — that is, suffers 
 nobody to come near her — will not be touched. 
 Od. ii. 2. 7-

 mariti. Ep. ii. 1. 132. For the words are re-

 ferrible, not to eqaa, but to Lyde. Thus — not 
 yet of a marriageable age, she skips and plays 
 as the whim prompts, and will let nobody 
 touch her, as a three-vear old filly frisks, 
 &c. 
 
 12. Cruda.~\ The word expresses unripe 
 fruits, as in Od. ii. 5. 10. Lalage is immitis 
 uva. 
 
 13. Tu potes tigres, <yc] Alluding to the 
 story of Orpheus. You are able — it was 
 through you that Orpheus, &c. 
 
 14. Ducere.] Drew the tigers and the 
 woods after you. Tigers followed, as woods 
 followed — charmed by the music. Or, some 
 analogous word may be supposed to govern 
 tigres, and the meaning be — you are able to 
 tame tigers, and draw the woods after you. 
 
 15. Cessit.~\ Cerberus gave way to you. 
 That is, he suffered Orpheus, playing on the 
 lyre, to enter the halls of Hades, when in 
 quest of Eurydice. 
 
 Immanis.] Couple with Cerberus. 
 
 16. Aulce.] Scil. Plutonis. Pluto's palace. 
 17- Furiale, SfC.] Although a hundred 
 
 snakes arm or protect his head, like one of 
 the Furies. 
 
 18. Ejus.'] Of this prosaic use of ejus, 
 Horace furnishes no other instance, and divers 
 attempts have, accordingly, been made to re- 
 place it with something more significant. 
 Bentley's exeatque is, perhaps, one of his 
 acutest corrections. Doering suggests cestus, 
 meaning the heat of fire, rage, or anger ; but 
 a word which itself requires another to ex- 
 plain it, may be rejected without ceremony. 
 
 20. Ore trilingui.] Of course Cerberus is 
 
 8 
 
 here triceps, as in Od. ii. 19. 31 ; while in 
 Od. ii. 13. 34. he is centiceps. 
 
 21. Ixion.] Thrust into Tartarus for an 
 insult on Juno, and bound to a wheel eter- 
 nally turning. In the Georgics, iv. 484. the 
 wheel stops at the music of Orpheus. 
 
 Titijos.] Od. ii. 14. 8. 
 
 Vultu risit invito.] Were delighted in 
 spite of themselves. The music beguiled them 
 of their woes. Invito belongs to the minds of 
 Ixion and Tityos, which were betrayed by 
 the countenance. 
 
 22. Urna]. The urna is the pitcher or vessel 
 which they used to fill the dolium. That, the 
 urna, a little while was dry — undipt in the 
 water — the Danaides being arrested by the 
 grateful sounds. 
 
 23. Danai puellas.] The fifty daughters 
 of Danaus — who all, except Hypermnestra, 
 at the command of their father, are said to

 words — no sooner do you see the handsome 
 Hebrus, than all your usual occupations are

 Qualum.] The basket, which contained 
 the pensa — the materials of her labour — 
 wrought or un wrought. To take from her 
 the qualum and the telas, must mean all care

 The poet prepares to consecrate, by a sacri- 
 fice, the fountain at Bandusia — near his own 
 farm, or within its precincts, and predicts it 
 will in consequence be enrolled in the list of 
 distinguished fountains. 
 
 1. Bandusi<z.~\ A spot near his own villa. 
 The fountain or spring had its source there, 
 and is thence called Bandvisian. From Ep. i. 
 16. 12 — 14. it appears the rivulet Digentia 
 (now Licenza) had its origin from this spring. 
 
 Splendidior vitro.~\ Clearer — more trans- 
 parent than glass.

 Non sine floribus.] With wreaths of 
 flowers.

 be sacrificed in honour of you — not, however, 
 to the spring, but to the nymph whose resi- 
 dence it is supposed to be ; as the fons Albu- 
 nece is the domus Albunece, scil. nymplue. Od.

 Nescire is frequently used to express a nega-

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE XIV. METRE VI. 
 
 On the return of Augustus from his expe- 
 dition into Spain (U. C. 730.) the poet in the 
 excitement of his feelings, bids the wife and 
 sister of Augustus perform an act of public 
 thanksgiving, and, generally, the mothers and 
 wives of the victorious troops. He himself 
 will celebrate the joyful event by festivities at 
 home — secure, henceforth, from all alarms, as 
 long as Augustus governs the world, &c. 
 
 1. Herculis ritu.] With reference to the 
 frequent and distant expeditions of Augustus, 
 especially into Spain, one of the scenes of 
 Hercules' triumphs. Virgil makes Anchises 
 prophetically compare Augustus with Hercules, 
 on the same ground — 
 
 Nee vero Alcides tantum telluris obivit. 
 
 JEn. vi. 802. 
 
 Modo dictus, <yc] Caesar, who but lately 
 was said to have set out, like Hercules, to 
 gather laurels on the Spanish shores, has 
 already returned home in triumph. 
 
 Modo.] Alluding to the emperor's dis- 
 patch. The war was scarcely known to have 
 been begun, when he returned a conqueror. 
 A little poetical liberty with the fact. Od. ii. 
 6. 2. 
 
 2. Morte venalem.'] Well purchased with 
 death — that is, worth risking any perils to 
 win. 
 
 3. Penates.] Home — where the Dii Pe- 
 nates, the household deities, were kept and 
 honoured. 
 
 5. Mulier.] Livia, the wife of Augustus, 
 and mother of Tiberius. 
 
 Unico.] Without an equal — unparalleled 
 in renown or power. 
 
 6. Prodeat.] In solemn procession to the 
 temples. Prodire is the specific term for such 
 purposes. 
 
 Operata.] That is, at operetur — to perform 
 the vows which she had offered for the safety 
 of her husband. Operata, often by the poets 
 used instead of the present operans. 
 
 Justis.] Who favour just actions, and listen 
 to just prayers. 
 
 7- Soror.] Octavia, the sister of Augustus, 
 and widow of Antony. 
 
 Decorce supplice vittd.] Graced with a sup- 
 pliant wreath — that is, suppliant mothers with 
 beautiful wreaths. 
 
 9. Virginum matres, <yc] And the mothers 
 of the young soldiers, who have just returned 
 in safety, and of their young brides. 
 
 Nuper.] From the recent war with the 
 Cantabri. 
 
 10. Vos pueri, 8fc] You too, both young 
 husbands and young wives, spare your ill- 
 omened words — those with which you boded 
 a fatal rupture to your recent union from this 
 perilous war. All apprehension is over, and 
 you have only to offer your grateful thanks to 
 the Gods. 
 
 Puella-.] Often used by the poets, for 
 wives. Ovid makes Penelope call herself 
 puella. Heroid. i. 115; and Horace himself 
 has laborantes tttero puellas. Od. iii. 22. 2.

 ODE XVI. METRE III. 
 
 Horace again descants upon the old theme, 
 that happiness depends not upon large posses- 
 sions, but upon a mind content with a simple 
 competency. Gold has done a world of mis- 
 chief — the passion for it is insatiable, and the 
 possession of it attended with endless anxieties. 
 Well therefore may he shrink from enlarging 
 his property, and be contented with his own 
 little farm, where, though he has no luxuries, 
 he is screened from the sordidness of poverty. 
 Much better to contract desires than extend 
 the supplies, &c. 
 
 1. Inclusam, 8fc] Nothing is inaccessible 
 to gold. The case of Danae is evidence of 
 
 this truth. Though her father shut her up in 
 
 a lover forced an entrance

 5. Acrisium.'] King of Argos, who learn- 
 ing from an oracle that his life would be pe- 
 rilled by the birth of a grandson, shut up his 
 daughter in a brazen tower. But Jupiter 
 made his way through the roof in a shower of 
 gold, and became the father of Perseus, who 
 finally fulfilled the oracle by killing Acrisius, 
 undesignedly, with a quoit. Apoll. ii. 1. 
 
 6. Pavidum.] Alarmed lest his daughter 
 should have a son, and the fatal prophecy be 
 fulfilled. 
 
 7. Fore enim, fyc] Supply bene norant, or 
 something similar. For they knew well 
 enough, that there was a sure and ready way 
 for a divinity turned into money. 
 
 8. Pretium.'] By this word, used instead 
 of gold, the poet hints that the lover had made 
 his way by corrupting the keepers. 
 
 9. Per medios satellites.] By bribing them, 
 of course. 
 
 10. Amat.] As shewing its power. It 
 loves to make its way through the midst of 
 guards, as it did through those of Acrisius ; 
 and to break through rocks and stone walls, 
 as it did through the tower of Danae — more 
 potently than a thunder-bolt. 
 
 11. Auguris Argivi, Sfc] Amphiaraus of 
 Argos — a prophet, who knowing he should 
 perish if he accompanied the expedition of 
 Adrastus and Polynices against Thebes, en- 
 deavoured to conceal himself; but being be- 
 trayed by his wife Eriphyle, unable to resist a 
 golden necklace, offered by Polynices, he 
 finally fulfilled his fate. Alcmaeon avenged 
 his father's death by killing his mother, and 
 was himself killed by the brothers of his wife 
 Alphesibcea, to whom he had given the same 
 necklace, and whom, on divorcing her, he had 
 compelled to return it. 
 
 13. Diffidit.] It splits open gates — more 
 effectually than battering-rams. 
 
 14. Vir Macedo, <yc] The poet confirms 
 the tales of mythology, by historical facts. 
 Vir Macedo is Philip, the father of Alexander. 
 It was his boast that he could take any fortress 
 into which he could get an ass laden with 
 gold. Hence in Val. Max. vii. 2. 10. he is 
 said to have been majore ex parte mercator 
 Grcccice quam victor.

 ney, delivered up the fleet which he com-

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE XVII. METRE VIII. 
 
 An old crow bodes bad weather on the 
 morrow, and Horace advises his friend in con- 
 sequence to make a feast, and give his slaves 
 a holiday. The loose construction of the 
 poem, as well as the topics and its brevity, 
 shew it to have been quite extempore. 
 
 1. JEli.] iElius Lamias. Compare Od. i. 
 26. which is addressed to the same person. 
 
 Vetusto ab Lamo.'] Lamus was a son of 
 Neptune, and the oldest king of the Laestry- 
 gones in Campania. Odyss. x. 81. 
 
 2. Quando et, Sfc] For they say — that is 
 — both the elder Lamias, it is said, was 
 named from him, and the whole race of their 
 descendants, through the family registers, de- 
 duce their origin from him. The construc- 
 tion of the two clauses varies — the first de- 
 pends upon ferunt, and expresses a tradition — 
 it is said the old Lamias did, &c. ; the other 
 is a declaration that the nepotes have done 
 and do trace, &c. 
 
 Priores Lamias.] Your ancestors. 
 Hinc.'] From Lamus. 
 
 3. Denominates.] Took their name. See 
 Virgil, JEn. v. 117—123. for instances of the 
 fondness of the Romans for tracing the anti- 
 quity of their families to some distinguished 
 Trojan. 
 
 4. Fastus.] Registers, containing the fa- 
 mily pedigree ; but more probably the poet 
 had the public registers in view, and hyper- 
 bolically intimates that they are full of the 
 Lamias. Both forms, fasti and fasttis, are in 
 use. 
 
 Memores.] What preserves the memory of 
 any thing. 
 
 5. Auctore ab Mo.] Lamus — that illustri- 
 ous ancestor of yours.

 Odys. x. 81. The name of Formice was given 
 to the town by a colony of Spartans. Strabo,

 7. Et innantem, fyc] And besides Formiae, 
 he is said to have held the Liris, which flows 
 to the shores of Marica — meaning Minturnae, 
 through which the Liris passes. 
 
 Marica.] The Nymph Marica was the wife 
 of Faunus, and mother of Latinus, (Virg. JEn. 
 vii. 47.) and worshipped as the tutelary deity 
 at Minturnae, in a grove consecrated to her on 
 the banks of the Liris. Hence the Liris is 
 said to flow to the shore of Marica, instead 
 of through the town and marshes of Mintur- 
 nae to that shore. Lucan ii. 424. and Mar- 
 tial xiii. 83. describe the country in the same 
 manner.

 ODE XIX. METRE II. 
 
 While the poet is meditating a feast in 
 honour of the new Augur Mursena, Telephus 
 is poring over matters of antiquity. Re- 
 proaching him thus for his indifference to 
 social mirth — as if the festivity had already 
 commenced, he calls for wine, and music, and 
 flowers, and encourages the hilarity of his 
 friends, to make some jealous neighbour with 
 a young mistress, hear the merry tumult. 
 
 1. Quantum distet, fyc] How many years 
 Inachus lived before Codrus. These dates, 
 usually assigned, are 1856 and 1068 A. C. 
 
 2. Codrus.] The voluntary death of Co- 
 drus, the last king of Athens — to secure the 
 superiority of his country, is described by 
 Justin, ii. 6. 
 
 Non timidus mori.] A Greek form, fii) 
 deiXbg Saveiv, or fir) okv&v Sravtlv. Who 
 bravely and generously died, &c. 
 
 3. Narras, Sfc.] You tell us, that is, you 
 know all about such matters— opposed to taces 
 below. 
 
 Genus JEaci.] Scil. Peleus, Telamon, Achil- 
 les, Teucrus, Ajax, &c. jEacus was king of 
 
 iEgina, a small island in the Sinus Saronicus, 
 (or Gulf of jEgina.) 
 
 4. Sacro Ilio.] Habitually called ipr) by the 
 Greek poets ; and hence Ilium divum domus. 
 Virg. Mn. ii. 241. 
 
 5. Chium cadum.] The wines of Chios, an 
 island in the Archipelago, (now Scio,) were 
 classed among those of the best quality. 
 Athen. i. p. 28. 
 
 6. Mercemur, <yc] At what price we can 
 buy, &c. It may be presumed the feast was 
 one at the common cost of the party, where 
 each paid his share. 
 
 Quis aquam, fyc] Who warms the water — 
 for bathing before dinner. Epod. ii. 43. 
 
 7- Quo prcebente.] At whose house, &c. 
 Sat. i. 5. 38. 
 
 Et quota.] Sc. Jwrd. At what hour I may 
 be sheltered from the cold of these hills — 
 where and when I may find a fire. 
 
 8. Taces.] Of these matters you say and 
 know nothing — you care nothing about them 
 — immersed in your historical inquiries. 
 
 Pelignis.] The Peligni were to the east- 
 ward of the Marsi, on the Apennines — cold 
 from the elevation. If the poem be not merely

 The poet warns Pyrrhus of the fearful

 His rival is fierce as a lioness, and the 
 beautiful object of dispute is quite indifferent

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE XXI. METRE VIII. 
 
 Corvinus is to visit the poet, and the best 
 wine in his Apotheca must be produced in 
 honour of so eminent a person — which gives 
 occasion to an eulogy on the virtues of wine. 
 
 1. nata, fyc] O Amphora, you who con- 
 tain Massic wine of the same year in which 
 I was born, when Manlius was consul. U. C. 
 689. 
 
 Nata, fyc] The sense is referrible not to 
 the Amphora, but to the wine it contained. 
 The Amphora was of little estimation — its 
 contents were all in all. 
 
 2. Seu querelas, fyc] Whether you bear 
 within you — i. e. whether the wine you con- 
 tain make the drinkers of it querulous, or 
 sportive, or quarrelsome, or sleepy. Com- 
 pare Eveni Parii Carm. xv. in Anthol. Gr. 
 
 4. Pia.~\ From the connection with the 
 poet's birth. 
 
 5. Quocunque lectum nomine.~\ The name, 
 that is, of the Consuls, which marked the 
 year in the Fasti. The sense is — of what- 
 ever vintage be the Massic wine you preserve 
 — under whatever Consuls made — were it 
 older, and so more precious, than that of 
 the Consulate of Manlius, — you are worthy, 
 &c. 
 
 Lectum.'] Gathered — the word applies 
 strictly to uva, not to vinum. 
 
 6. Moveri digna.] Worthy to be brought 
 down from the apotheca on a good day — on 
 such a day as Corvinus honours me with a 
 visit. 
 
 7. Descende, <yc] The apotheca — the 
 
 wine-store, was in the upper part of the 
 house. Od. iii. 8. 11. 
 
 Corvino jubente.] It is Corvinus who com- 
 mands. It is for his sake that I produce my 
 oldest wine. 
 
 8. Languidiora.] Mellowed by age. Od. 
 iii. 16. 15. 
 
 9. Non ille, q. S. madet.] Though imbued 
 with the Socratic philosophy, &c. Madet is 
 selected with reference to the wine that is to 
 be drunk. 
 
 10. Sermonibus.] Conversations — because 
 Socrates enforced his sentiments in conversa- 
 tions, not in writings. Corvinus was familiar 
 with the sentiments of Socrates, as they are 
 recorded, or imagined, by Plato, Xenophon, 
 &c. 
 
 Te neg. horridus.] He will not churlishly, 
 like some philosophers, neglect you — the good 
 wine that is within you. 
 
 11. Narratur, fyc] Even the virtue of 
 old Cato is said to have been warmed with 
 wine. Even Cato indulged. 
 
 Prisci.] Observant of old and severe 
 habits. Ep. ii. 2. 117- 
 
 Prisci Catonis.] Though priscus doubtless 
 is allusive of ancient and frugal habits, and 
 so is applicable to the younger Cato (the 
 cotemporary of Caesar) as well as the elder, 
 the Censor, — yet, had Horace meant the 
 younger Cato, he would hardly have used 
 the word narratur of a man, who had lived 
 within his own remembrance. 
 
 12. Virtus Catonis.] i. e. Cato, observant 
 of virtue, or the virtuous Cato — like the 
 sapient ia Lccli. Sat. ii. 1. 72. 
 
138

 NOTES. 
 
 13. Lene tormentum, fyc] A gentle but irre- 
 sistible force. Torquere and its derivatives 
 are in frequent use to express the effects of 
 wine. Ep. i. 18. 38 ; Ep. ad Pis. 435. 
 
 14. Duro.~] Stern, and inaccessible to the 
 softer feelings of humanity. 
 
 Sapientium, fyc] Sapientes seem here to 
 be — not surely philosophers — but such as in 
 their sober hours conceal their thoughts and 
 purposes, but tell all when prompted by wine. 
 
 15. Jocoso.~\ With reference to sapientes — 
 wine that laughs at the pretensions of wis- 
 dom — to whom it is sport thus to baffle the 
 schemes of the wise, and make them their 
 own betrayers. 
 
 17- Tu spem, Sfc] You restore fresh hope 
 and energy to the miserable and desponding.

 18. Viresque.'] Horn. Iliad, vi. 261, and 
 ix. 702. 
 
 Addis comua.] Courage and confidence. 
 You give the poor man horns. Ovid adopts 
 the corresponding phrase, pauper comua sumit. 
 Proverbial for elation, from real or imaginary 
 advantages. 
 
 19. Post te, Sfc.] Cheered by your favours.

 20. Apices.] Usually an insigne of the 
 priest — a mitre ; but here of the monarch — 
 the diadem. 
 
 19. Iratos, Sfc] The power of angry 
 kings. Strictly, iratos applies to regum, but 
 poetically is coupled with apices. 
 
 21. Te Liber, et, eye] You — the wine 
 within you — the chief charm of the sympo- 
 sium, and so, with some latitude, the sym- 
 posium itself. Bacchus and the Graces, and 
 the burning lamps, shall protract the feast till 
 dawn.

 ODE XXIV. METRE II. 
 
 The poet inveighs with severity against 
 the luxury and corruption of the rich — with 
 the certainty of death before tbem. The sim- 
 ple habits of the Scythians make them a hap- 
 pier people. The title of Father of his coun- 
 try would be best won by opposing the general 
 licentiousness, and enforcing a sterner system 
 of education. 
 
 1. Intactis, <yc] The general sense is, — 
 though ever so rich, you cannot escape death 
 — a sentiment which the poet often repeats 
 and illustrates. Od.i.4. 13; ii. 18. 17; iii. 1.9. 
 
 2. Thesauris Arabum.] The Romans had 
 hitherto in vain attempted to lay their hands 
 upon them — they were still intactis. Propert. 
 also describes Arabia Intacta, ii. 10. 16.

 with which piers were consti-ucted for the 
 marine residences of the opulent Romans. 
 Od. iii. 1. 35. 
 
 4. Tyrrhenum.] Mare infer um — the sea 
 on the western shores of Italy. 
 
 Apuiicum.] Mare super/tin— the seas on 
 the eastern shores of Italy — the Ionian sea.

 NOTES. 
 
 6. Summis verticibus.'] The highest heads 
 — the heads of the wealthiest and mightiest, 
 into which Necessitas drives her adamantine 
 spikes. Od. iii. 16. 19. 
 
 Necessitas.] The goddess Necessity, or 
 death — i. e. death for persons, and necessity 
 for things — is represented as bearing in her 
 hands these spikes, and driving them into, 
 and thus securing, whatever she wishes to 
 subject to her power. Od. i. 35. 18. 
 
 7- Metu.] Scil. mortis. 
 
 9. Scyth£C,Sfc] Happier live the Scythians 
 and the Getae — content with the temporary 
 occupation of the soil, and untormented by 
 the anxieties and desires of the rich. 
 
 Melius.] More wisely. 
 Campestres.] Who live on the plains and 
 steppes of Tartary. 
 
 10. Quorum plaustra, Sfc] Comp. Justin 
 ii. 1. From this practice the Greeks term 
 them ajxd^oiKoi, afia%6fiioi, &c. 
 
 Rite.] In accordance with their migratory 
 habits. 
 
 11. Rigidi.] Accustomed to severe fru- 
 gality. In Ep. ii. I. 25. the Sabines are de- 
 scribed as rigidi. For the habits of the Getae, 
 see Strabo, lib. vii. The Getae seem to have 
 ranged between the mouths of the Danube 
 and the Dnieper. 
 
 12. Immetata, fyc] For whom the acres 
 unmeasured — unassigned, that is, to indivi- 
 duals — bear free fruits, &c. — a characteristic 
 of the Golden Age. Tibull. i. 3.— Virg. 
 Georg. i. 126. 
 
 Liberas.] Free for all — all share the pro- 
 duce. The lands were cultivated for the com- 
 mon benefit of the tribe. 
 
 14. Nee cultura, fyc] Nor cultivated for 
 more than a single crop — when the parties 
 left the lands, and removed to other regions. 
 
 15. Defunctum laboribus, Sfc] The man 
 who has performed his allotted labour, another 
 relieves. 
 
 16. Vicarius.] One who takes the vices of 
 anothei-, but here as a successor, not as a 
 deputy. 
 
 JEquali sorte.] On the same terms — i. e. 
 working in rotation, he relieves his prede- 
 cessor, and will himself be relieved by a third, 
 &c. Compare Caesar's account of the Suevi, 
 B. G. iv. 1. 
 
 17- Illic.] Among the Scythians and Getae. 
 
 18. Temperat, Sfc] There women treat 
 their step-children kindly. Cicero has amicis 
 temperare, pro Balbo 27 ; hostibus temperare, 
 Verr. ii. 2 ; and sociis temperare, Verr. i. 59 
 — all precisely in the same sense. 
 
 Imiocens.] Without doing them any in- 
 jury. 
 
 19. Nee dotata.] Nor does a well-dowered 
 wife — a wealthy heiress — rule, or queen it 
 over her husband, as at Rome. Intolerabilius 
 nihil, says Juvenal, est quam foemina dives. 
 
 20. Nitido.] Smart, or handsome. 
 Fidit.] Nor commit herself to an adulterer 
 
 — let herself be governed by a lover. 
 
 21. Dos est, Sfc] There a woman's dowry 
 consists in the virtue of her parents — virtue, 
 in the practice of which the daughters are 
 brought up. 
 
 22. Et metuens, Sfc] Another portion of 
 her dowry consists in a chastity which shrinks 
 from another man — from an adulterer — in the 
 faithful fulfilment of her connubial compact.

 NOTES. 
 
 24. Et peccare, fyc] And a third portion 
 in her deeming adultery a crime, &c. 
 
 Peccare nefas, fyc] To sin, i. e. adultery 
 is a crime ; or to die, rather than commit the 
 offence, is a prize, a compensation, a gain. 
 The sense is — not that death is the penalty of 
 adultery — but that the Scythian females prefer 
 death to adultery — would rather die than com- 
 mit it. 
 
 25. quisquis, Sfc] An indirect compli- 
 ment to Augustus, contemplating at the time, 
 probably, the lex Julia de adulteriis, and the 
 Papia Poppcea de marit. ordinibus. Though 
 Augustus was not styled Pater Patrice by a 
 formal decree of the senate till 752 U. C, after 
 Horace's death, the title appears upon medals 
 before that date. 
 
 26. Rabiem civicam.] Furor civium — the 
 civil wars. 
 
 27. Si quceret, fyc] If he shall be ambi- 
 tious of being honoured with statues in- 
 scribed with the title of Pater Urbium. In- 
 stead of Pater Urbis, as statuis for statud. 
 
 30. Clarus post.] Sure of being illustrious 
 with posterity, if not with his cotemporaries. 
 
 Quatenus, fyc] Since we hate virtuous men 
 while alive. 
 
 32. Sublatam ex ocul.~\ When dead. 
 Qucerimus.] We desire to have them — we 
 
 regret the loss of them. Ep. ii. 1. 14. 
 
 Invidi.] Applicable to both odimus and 
 qucerimus. 
 
 33. Quid tristes, Sfc] Vain are complaints 
 of profligacy, if the evil be not checked by 
 
 penalties ; and useless are laws if unenforced, 
 and riches are spent in luxuries, and poverty 
 regarded with contempt. 
 
 34. Culpa.] Corruption of the times.

 39. Duratceque.] Snows frozen. 
 
 40. Mercatorem abigunt.] If neither burn- 
 ing suns, nor frozen snows repel the merchant 
 — in pursuit of foreign luxuries, for which he 
 finds a ready sale among the opulent at home. 
 
 Callidi.] Coupled with navitce,, and refer- 
 rible to their skill in mastering the perils of 
 the sea — not to the profits of the venture, 
 which belong to the Mercator. 
 
 42. Magnum pauperies, fyc] If the dread 
 and disgrace of poverty bid us do and bear any 
 thing, and desert the steps of virtue. /. e. of 
 what avail are laws, if the poor, by the inso- 
 lence of wealth, are thus driven from virtue to

 44. Virtutisque viam, Sfc] Instead of Vir-

 temple the virtuous have to struggle. Hesiod.

 in agreement with equo, has been suggested ; 
 and rough riding, apparently, formed a part 
 of the equestrian exercises in the Campus 
 Martius. Od. i. 8. 7. With this change, the 
 sense will be — So effeminately is a gentle-

 ODE XXV. METRE II. 
 
 Proposing to celebrate the glories of Au- 
 gustus, and enroll him among the stars and 
 the Gods, the poet represents himself as borne 
 away to some strange but beautiful grove by 
 Bacchus — and too much overcome by the 
 charms of his new position to prosecute his 
 purpose. The theme is too mighty for him. 
 Od. ii. 19.

 Hebrus, and snowy Thrace, and Rhodope. 
 The poet is in amazement at the beauty of

 ODE XXVI. METRE VIII. 
 
 A veteran in the fields of Venus, the poet 
 retires, not ingloriously, from the service, and 
 suspends his armour in the temple of the 
 Goddess, with a final prayer for vengeance 
 upon Chloe, that she may for once herself 
 feel the tortures she has so often inflicted. 
 The poem is wholly Greek.

 to stand before the temple, and, while dedi- 
 cating the weapons of his amatory campaigns,

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE XXVII. METRE VI. 
 
 The poet dissuades Galatea from venturing 
 upon some distant voyage — not on account of 
 evil omens, but of the unfavourable season, 
 and the perils of the sea. If, however, she 
 persists in her purpose, he prays that all 
 omens of ill may fall upon the wicked, and 
 herself meet with none but propitious ones ; 
 but though birds may augur favourably, the 
 sea is too capricious to be trusted to, as poor 
 Europa found — the details of whose story 
 close the poem. 
 
 1. Impios, fyc] May all omens, unpropi- 
 tious to travellers at their starting, befal the 
 bad ; but may she for whose safety I am 
 anxious, set out with every favourable one — 
 for which I shall solicit the Gods, &c. 
 
 Impios, §c] The wicked and them only — 
 may they be averted from Galatea. 
 
 Parr a.] This bird has not been identified 
 — but, of course, it was one whose scream was 
 regarded as portending storms. 
 
 Recincvtis.] Expresses repetitions of the 
 fatal screamings. 
 
 2. Ducat.] Lead — accompany the bad. 
 
 3. Rava.] The colour of the wolf — grey. 
 Ovid applies to the wolf canus and J/avus. 
 
 Lanuvino, fyc] Lanuvium, a town of 
 Latium, about sixteen miles from Rome, on 
 the right of the Via Appia, built on an ac- 
 clivity. Of course a wolf coming down from 
 the Lanuvian woods would be of ill omen to 
 travellers on the Via Appia — which extended 
 to Brundusium, the usual port from which 
 vessels sailed for Greece. 
 
 5. Rumpat, Sfc] With its ill omen inter- 
 rupt- — deter from the journey. 
 
 6. Similis sagitta.] Darting across the 
 road, rapidly, like an arrow. 
 
 7- Mannos.] Small horses, whose usual 
 and best pace was an amble. 
 
 Cui timebo prov.] A careful augur in fa- 
 vour of her for whose safety I am and shall 
 be alarmed. 
 
 9. Antequam.] Before the bird, which is 
 prescient of impending storms, repairs to the 
 marshes, I will by my prayers stir up the 
 raven in the east — I will pray the Gods 
 to bid the raven utter a welcome, on the 
 east. 
 
 11. Oscinem.] Oscines are the birds which 
 supply omens by their voices ; and prapites by 
 their flight. 
 
 12. Solis ab ortu.] From the east — always 
 the propitious point.

 17- Sed vides, §c] But you see with what 
 commotion Orion hastens down — you see how 
 near it is to the time of Orion's setting, and 
 know what tempestuous weather usually 
 occurs at that period. The heliacal setting, 
 of course, is meant — that is, when Orion sets 
 nearly at the time the sun rises — in the begin- 
 ning of December. Od. i. 28. 21. Virg.

 18. Promts.'] Verging to the west. 
 
 Ego, quid sit, Sfc] I know what the black

 19. Albus.] That makes the skies clear 
 and calm. 
 
 20. Iapijx.] Od. i. 3. 4. 
 
 Quid peccet.] To what mischief it leads — 
 how treacherous and delusive is the fine 
 weather it brings.

 ODE XXIX. METRE VIII. 
 
 The poet invites Maecenas to come and 
 share the simple enjoyments of his Sabine 
 villa — forsaking, for a time, the luxurious 
 magnificence and harassing tumults of Rome. 
 Change is usually delightful to the rich, and 
 the season is one best suited for rustica- 
 tion. With all his solicitude, Maecenas must 
 not hope to secure the future ; he can only 
 employ the present. The future, like a river, 
 sometimes flows smooth, and sometimes flood- 
 ing, sweeps all before it. Enjoy then the 
 present — that cannot be taken from you ; if 
 
 fortune be kind, be thankful ; if unkind, bend 
 to the storm, and make the best of it.

 Eripe te mora?.} Break from all impedi- 
 ments — through all obstructions. 
 
 6. Ne semper, fyc.} Do not always be 
 contemplating the same scene. Maecenas's 
 house stood on the iEsquilian hill of Rome, 
 and so high, in site and structure, as to com- 
 mand not only the whole of Rome, but Tibur, 
 ./Esula, and Tusculum — which were thus, of- 
 necessity, the objects of perpetual observation. 
 
 Udum.} From the abundance of water in

 voluptuous home — which makes you fasti- 
 dious, and wearies with satiety.

 consequences exhibited in the accommoda- 
 tions and luxuries of life. 
 
 Strepilum.} The noise and bustle — the 
 general stir and activity of a populous place. 
 
 13. Plerumque, fyc.} Generally change of 
 scene is especially welcome to the rich — as a 
 relief from ennui. 
 
 14. Mundaeque.} Simple suppers, without 
 parade, smooth the brow, which is furrowed 
 with the anxieties attending on wealth.

 Andromeda: pater, <yc] Cepheus — the 
 heliacal rising of this constellation occurs in 
 July. Cepheus king of Ethiopia, Cassiope 
 his wife, Andromeda their daughter, and 
 Perseus the deliverer and husband of An-

 attached to constellations.

 ODE XXX. METRE I. 
 
 The poet anticipates an immortality of re- 
 nown as the introducer of lyric poetry into 
 Roman literature. Pindar expresses the same 
 sentiments, Pyth. v. 7- This forms a kind 
 of epilogue to the three books. The last ode 
 of the second book is in the same strain, 
 
 and must be considered as an epilogue to the 
 first two books. The odes of the third were 
 written subsequently, and this thirtieth ode 
 may be regarded as a new epilogue appended 
 to the whole.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE I. METRE II. 
 
 The poet remonstrates with Venus for 
 again summoning a retired veteran, like him- 
 self, to new campaigns in the fields of love. 
 He is no longer what he was — nor, at his 
 age, of sufficient activity for the service. She 
 should visit younger men, who would wel- 
 come her favours, and acknowledge them 
 with due honours. While insisting upon his 
 insusceptibility, he humourously recognises 
 in himself the symptoms of some new at- 
 tachment. There seems no ground for in- 
 terpreting the poem allegorically — as if the 
 poet, since the publication of the first three 
 books of Odes, had long hung up his lyre, 
 and now resumed it, though reluctantly, at 
 the command of Augustus. 
 
 1. Intermissa, Sec] Wars long intermitted 
 you again excite — again you are impelling to 
 love — me, who have long done with such 
 feelings. The military metaphor occurs, Od. 
 iii. 26. 2. Ovid, Am. i. 9. 1. 
 
 2. Puree, S/c] As if he already felt the 
 divinity taking possession of him. So Od. ii. 
 19. 7- in the case of Bacchus. 
 
 3. Non sum, qualis, <yc] As in Ep. i. 1.4. 
 Non eadem est cetas, non mens. 
 
 Bonce.~\ Kind, good — as if in a tone of 
 affectionate remembrance. She died young. 
 Od. iv. 13. 22. In Ep. i. 14. 33. he says, 
 immunem Cinurce placuisse rapaci — rapacious 
 as she might be with respect to others, she 
 had extorted nothing from him. 
 
 4. Sub regno Cinarce.] Under the reign 
 of Cinara — while she was my queen. Com- 
 pare regit in Od. iii. 9. 9. 
 
 5. Mater sceva Cupidinum.] Od. i. 19. 1. 
 
 6. Circa lustra decern.] At the close 
 of my tenth lustre — near fifty. Od. ii. 
 4. 24. 
 
 Flectere mollibus, Sec] To bend me to 
 your soft commands — to make me obey 
 them. The metaphor is equestrian. Od. iii. 
 7. 25. 
 
 Mollibus durum.] The words are stu- 
 diously opposed — as also seevu and dulcium. 
 
 7- Jam durum.] Now hard — with a hard 
 mouth, insensible to the bit. No longer 
 susceptible of love — from age. 
 
 8. Blunder.] Fond — ready to welcome. 
 
 Quo, <yc] When the prayers of the young

 ODE II. METRE VI. 
 
 Consummate as is Pindar in whatever he 
 touches, Horace disclaims any attempt to 
 emulate him, and affirms that Antonius, who, 
 apparently, had asked him to commemorate 
 the victories of Augustus in a Pindaric strain, 
 would himself accomplish the task more suc- 
 cessfully — proposing himself only to join in 
 the general chorus of congratulation, and 
 make his humble offering to the Gods, on 
 the glorious occasion. The poem — from the 
 mention of the Sygambri — was probably 
 written 738 U. C. the year in which, ac- 
 cording to Dio, Augustus defeated the Ger- 
 mans, and among other tribes, the Sygambri, 
 on the other side of the Rhine.

 521 B. C. — living to a great age, the cotem-

 NOTES. 
 
 5. Monte decurrens, fyc] Like a torrent, 
 pouring down from a mountain, swollen by 
 the rains, Pindar foams and rushes, &c. 
 
 6. Notas.] The banks within which it 
 was before confined. 
 
 Aluere.'] Fed — filled. 
 
 7. Fervet.] Expresses the heat and tumult 
 of thoughts, which are supposed to possess 
 the poet in his inspirations. Sat. i. 10. 62. 
 
 8. Ore profundo.] Sro/ia (5a6i) — a mouth, 
 from which, as from a rich spring, flows a 
 flood of words, &c. Poetically, and in words 
 accommodated to the flooding stream, Pin- 
 darus himself is said to rush immense from a 
 deep mouth, or source. 
 
 9. Laurea donandus Ap.] A poet worthy 
 to be honoured with Apollo's laurel. Com- 
 pare Od. iii. 30. 15. where Horace desires to 
 be himself crowned with the Delphic laurel. 
 
 10. Seu per, fyc] Pindar was thus, on the 
 testimony of Horace, distinguished for Dithy- 
 rambics, Paeans, Epinicia, and Elegies — of 
 which, nothing but the Epinicia have sur- 
 vived. 
 
 Dithyrambos.] These poems, of the nature 
 of which nothing is satisfactorily known, ap- 
 pear to have been first sung in the Bacchic 
 rites, and afterwards, in a more cultivated 
 form, introduced on the stage, by Lasos, 
 Pindar's master. From this passage of Ho- 
 race, it may be inferred, that considerable 
 latitude was allowed, or taken, both in phrase 
 and metre. Nothing but insignificant frag- 
 ments remain — insufficient to convey any 
 adequate conception. Horace's Odes, ii. 19. 
 and iii. 25. are thought to breathe the spirit 
 of the dithyrambic — restricted to metrical 
 forms. 
 
 Nova verba.] New compounds — or new 
 combinations of words — phrases. Insigne 
 recens, adhuc indicium ore alio. Od. iii. 25. 7- 
 
 11. Devolvit.] Rolls down the stream of 
 his verse — in accordance with the previous 
 metaphor. 
 
 12. Lege solutis.] This phrase does not 
 necessarily imply contempt of all metrical 
 laws, but only deviations from established 
 forms, or transitions from one to another. 
 Schneider, in his life and writings of Pindar, 
 has ably discussed the subject. 
 
 13. Seu Deos, regesve, Sfc] These were 
 Pindar's Ptzans — his hymns and encomia on 
 Gods and heroes, which, according to Servius, 
 the scholiast on Virgil, Pindar called Paeans. 
 
 Reges.] I. e. Deorum sanguinem — specifi- 
 cally the heroes. 
 
 14. Per quos, fyc] Theseus, Pirithoos, 
 and Bellerophon, of whom the two former 
 slew the Centaurs, (Od. i. 18. 8.), and Belle- 
 rophon the Chimaera (Od. ii. 17- 13.) 
 
 16. Flamma Chimcerce.] The Chimaera, 
 which breathed flames. 
 
 17- Sive, quos Elea, Sfc] Or describes those 
 whom the Elean palm sent home, as happy 
 as Gods, or the pugilist, or the horse, &c. 
 These were the Epinicia, in which Pindar 
 celebrated the victors in the Olympic games. 
 
 Elea.] From Elis, in the Peloponnesus, 
 (the Morea,) where the Olympic games were 
 celebrated, at Olympia. 
 
 Elea domum reducit.] With the palm won 
 at Olympia, in Elis, the victor, in the chariot- 
 races, returned as happy as the Gods. Od. i. 
 1. 6. 
 
 18. Equum.] There were horse as well as 
 chariot-races. The cquus here is the winner 
 in the horse-race, who shared with his rider 
 in the honours of the victory. Theoc. xvi. 
 46. 
 
 19. Centum potiore, <yc] A poem of more 
 value than a hundred statues. Aire perermius ; 
 Od. iii. 30. 1. The victors and their horses

 25. Multa Dircceum, fyc] Pindar is a swan 
 that rises to the clouds, while Horace, like 
 a bee laboriously gathering honey from 
 flowers, in the woods and by the streams 
 of Tibur, (Tivoli) insignificant, weaves his 
 painful verse. 
 
 Multa Dircceum levat aura, <yc] Many a 
 gale, or a full gale, bears up the Dircaean 
 swan, whenever he directs his flight to the 
 lofty regions of the clouds — As often as the 
 swan of Dirce directs his flight to the lofty 
 regions of the clouds, many a gale, or a strong 
 gale, bears him thither.

 ODE III. METRE II. 
 
 In claiming the dignity of a poet, Horace 
 gratefully ascribes the whole honour to Mel- 
 pomene — to whose favour also it is due that 
 he has surmounted the envy with which his 
 earlier efforts were visited. 
 
 1. Quem, 8fc.~\ He on whose birth you 
 smiled will never be distinguished in athletic 
 sports, nor in fields of battle, but will be a 
 poet. 
 
 Melpomene, .] Addressed, apparently, as the 
 muse of lyric poetry, both here and Od. iii. 
 30. 16*. as well as in the elegy on Quintilius 
 Varus. But see Od. i. 1, 33.

 deemed worthy of your favours. Hesiod. 
 Theog. 82. Callim. Ep. ii. 4. Theoc. ix. 35. 
 
 3. Labor Isthmius.~\ Uovog — tieSXog. The 
 Isthmian games were held at Corinth, in ho- 
 nour of Neptune and Melicerta, and took their 
 name from the Isthmus of Corinth. 
 
 4. Non clarabit pugilem.'] He will never 
 be a conspicuous pugilist at the Isthmian 
 games. 
 
 Non equus, 8fC.~\ Nor will any fleet horse 
 of his ever win the prize in the chariot-races 
 of Olympia. 
 
 6. Res bellica, fyc] Nor will his military 
 achievements ever exhibit him to the Capitol 
 as a commander wreathed with laurel, for 
 quelling the proud threats of kings. 
 
 Deliis foliis.] Laurel of Delos. As meritd 
 fronde decorum. Od. iv. 2. 35. 
 
 8. Regum tumidas minas.] The pride of

 name of rex, politically, was odious to the 
 Romans.

 pitol in triumph. Od. iv. 2. 35.

 ODE IV. METRE VIII. 
 
 Drusus, the younger of Livia's sons by 
 Drusus Nero Claudius, had the command of 
 the expedition dispatched 739 U. C. by Au- 
 gustus against the Rhaeti and Vindelici. The 
 Rhaeti were routed by him with the sole com- 
 mand, in the first engagement, but the Vin- 
 delici in conjunction with his brother Tibe- 
 rius. In this Ode Drusus is the principal 
 figure, as Tiberius is in the fourteenth of this 
 book — both written on the same occasion. 
 The poem embraces a description of Drusus, 
 which consists in a comparison of his vigour 
 with that of a young eagle, and a young lion 
 ■ — a panegyric on Augustus, (under whose 
 auspices the Nerones acted) and his paternal 
 kindness towards them — and, finally, a com- 
 memoration of Claudius Nero, the ancestor of 
 the Nerones, by whose successes Hannibal was 
 finally driven from Italy. 
 
 1. Qualem, fyc.~\ The order of the passage 
 is — Tbe Vindelici beheld Drusus attack the 
 Rhaeti, like a young eagle when he first quits 
 the nest, and rushes on the sheep or snakes ; 
 or like a lion's whelp, just weaned, when he 
 springs upon tbe goats, &c. 
 
 Qualem ministrum, <§-c] Construe — As is 
 an eagle, the winged minister of lightning — 
 
 whom, yet a stranger to labours, his youth 
 and vigour urge from the nest, and whom, 
 alarmed at first, the vernal winds teach un- 
 wonted efforts — whom soon a vivid instinct 
 sends hostilely against the sheepfolds, and the 
 desire of prey and battle impels against the 
 struggling serpents, — or as, just driven from 
 his mother's milk, a lion, whom the goat in- 
 tent upon the pastures, but soon to perish by 
 his young tooth, beholds — such was Drusus, 
 when the Vindelici, &c. 
 
 Ministrum fulminis.'} According to Pliny, 
 the eagle is represented as the minister of 
 lightning, because none of the species was 
 ever struck by it. The cause may perhaps 
 be assigned to his lofty flight, often penetrat- 
 ing the clouds. 
 
 2. Cui rex Deorum, fyc] The honor was 
 conferred on the eagle by Jupiter, for his ser- 
 vices in securing the person of Ganymede, 
 and bearing him up to Olympus. According 
 to others, Jupiter was himself the eagle. 
 
 4. Flavo.} For — fair, or beautiful, as Od. ii. 
 4. 14 ; iii. 9. 19, &c. 
 
 5. Olhn.~\ Indefinitely — as is usually the 
 case. Sat. i. 1. 25. 
 
 6. Laborum inscium.~\ Not having yet 
 made them — the efforts with which the young 
 eagle strives to scale the skies.

 7- Vernique.] In the spring — the latter 
 part of it — when young eagles, like most 
 other birds, are ready to fly. 
 
 8. Docuere nisus venti.'] The winds teach 
 his efforts — by their buoyancy — by the as- 
 sistance they thus give to his exertions. 
 
 9. Paventem.] Apprehensive of danger — 
 from the flight yet unattempted. 
 
 11. Reluctantes.'] Twisting and curling — ■ 
 struggling to escape, or to inflict a sting.

 13. Caprea.] Chamois-goat of the moun- 
 tains. 
 
 14. Ab ubere jam lacte, Sfc] Driven from 
 the dugs, and so from the milk of its mother. 
 Therefore raging with hunger. — But better 
 surely to consider ubere as an adjective, not- 
 withstanding the unusual termination of e 
 for i. 
 
 16. Novo dente.] The young tooth, not 
 yet fleshed with slaughter. 
 
 17. Bluetts.] Instead of Rhceticis. The 
 Rhaeti occupied the countries now called tbe 
 Tyrol and the Grisons. 
 
 Videre — Vindelici.] At first Drusus at- 
 tacked the Rhaeti alone — in their defeat the 
 Vindelici saw what a commander he was, but 
 finally they (sensere) felt his force, cS;c. 
 
 18. Vindelici.] Occupying the modern 
 Bavaria, south of the Danube

 been suffered with impunity, or without effi- 
 cient opposition, to devastate Gaul and Italy 
 — such parts as were nearest to them. 
 
 24. Revictce.] Conquered, in their turn — 
 with reference to victrices. 
 
 Consiliis juvenis.] By the measures of 
 Drusus. 
 
 25. Sensere.] Od. ii. 7- 10.

 Pueros.] Applied to young men repeatedly. 
 Od. iv. 1. 15. 
 
 29. Fortes creantur, eye] It is with men 
 as with animals — they propagate their noble

 noble nature of their ancestors, but its culti- 
 vation is due to Augustus.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE V. METRE III. 
 
 The poet express.es the regrets of Rome for 
 the long absence of Augustus, detained after 
 his victories over the Germans, in the western 
 provinces, and their prayers for the speedy 
 return of him to whom they owe all their 
 felicity. 
 
 1. Divis orte bonis.'] Offspring of divinities 
 friendly to the Romans. Augustus had been 
 legally adopted by Julius Caesar into the Julian 
 family, which traced its origin to jEneas, and 
 so to the Gods. Or the allusion may be simply 
 to Julius Caesar, who like the heroes of old was 
 honoured with the title of divus. 
 
 Romulce.~] For Romulece ; and so Carm. 
 Saec. 47. and Virg. Mn. vi. 877. 
 
 2. Custos.] A tutelary deity — as Neptune 
 of Tarentum, Od. i. 28, 29. 
 
 Jam nimium diu.] After his defeat of the 
 Germans, and among them, the Sygambri, 
 Augustus was long detained in the provinces 
 of Gaul and Spain. Od. iv. 2. 
 
 3. Pollicitus.] Promising the Senate, at his 
 setting out for Gaul 738 U. C, an early return. 
 
 4. Sancto.] Applies to the venerable dig- 
 nity of the Fathers. 
 
 5. Lucem redde, eye] Dispel the gloom of 
 the city by your presence, as the sun dispels 
 the darkness — come and cheer your people, 
 grieved for your long absence, &c. 
 
 6. Instar Veris, 8;c.] When the light of 
 
 your countenance, which, like the spring, 
 cheers all things, &c. Theoc. viii. 41. 
 
 8. Soles melius.] More brilliantly, or beau- 
 tifully. Msc\\. Pers. 298. 
 
 9. Ut mater, <yc] Rome is anxious for 
 your return, as a mother for her son long at 
 sea, &c. Compare Opp. Hal. iv. 335. 
 
 Notus.] Adverse to vessels sailing from 
 Bithynia by the Carpathian Sea to Italy — else- 
 where used for any stormy wind. Od. i. 35. 8. 
 
 Invido flatu.] Envious blast — ascribing 
 human motives to inanimate things — any 
 thing which opposes our wishes. 
 
 12. Dulci a domo.] Nothing so dear as 
 home after distant voyages. Catull. 31. 7- 
 
 13. Votis.] Vows which the mother makes 
 for the safe return of her son. 
 
 Ominibtisque.] Words of good omen. 
 
 15. Icta.] Struck — the word expresses a 
 deep-seated feeling, as if pierced with an 
 arrow. 
 
 Fidelibus.] Strictly the epithet refers to 
 patria. 
 
 16. Qucerit.] Longs for your return. Od. 
 iii. 24. 32. 
 
 17. Tutus bos, <yc] The poet enumerates 
 the grounds of their ardent desires. Compare 
 Vellei. ii. 289. Safe the cattle roam over the 
 pastures — no longer exposed to the forays and 
 devastations of civil wars. Theoc. xvi. 90. 
 
 18. Nutrit Ceres, fyc] The labours of 
 agriculture no longer suffer interruption.

 NOTES. 
 
 Faustitas.~] Paraphrastically, beata pleno 
 Copia cornu. Carm. Seec. 59. 
 
 19. Pacatum.] Navigation is secure from 
 enemies and pirates, through the vigilance of 
 Augustus. 
 
 20. Culpari metuit.'] Fears — and by im- 
 plication takes care not to be blamed. Od. ii. 
 2. 7- Honour prevails in the general trans- 
 actions of society. 
 
 21. Nullis polluitur, fyc] Contrasted with 
 the general corruption of morals, against which 
 Horace inveighed with severity some years 
 before. Od. iii. 6. 
 
 22. Mos.'] The virtuous habits of old — re- 
 sumed. 
 
 Lex.] The lex Julia de Adult, framed wi- 
 the punishment of adultery by Augustus. Ep. 
 ii. 1. 2, 3. 
 
 Edomuit.] Have extirpated — compara- 
 tively. 
 
 Maculosum nefas.] The pollutions of adul- 
 tery. 
 
 23. Laudantur, fyc] Wives have children 
 who bear a resemblance to their husbands — 
 offspring like the legitimate father — indicating 
 fidelity on the part of the wives. Mart. vi. 
 27- Or resemble each other — implying still 
 the same legitimate father. 
 
 24. Culpam poena, Sfc] Punishments follow 
 close upon crimes — a proof of the vigilance of 
 the magistrates, and of the good auspices of 
 Augustus. 
 
 25. Q/ris Parthum, 8fc] No longer are 
 Parthians, Scythians, Germans, or Spaniards 
 — all subdued by Augustus — to be dreaded. 
 Rome enjoys perfect security under the go- 
 vernment of Augustus. 
 
 Parthum.] Od. iii. 5. 4 ; and Carm. Saec. 53. 
 Scythen.] Od. iii. 8. 23 ; Carm. Saec. 55. 
 
 26. Germania.] Od. iv. 4. 18 ; iv. 2. 36. 
 Horrida.] From the persons and characters 
 
 of the Germans — as well as from the absence of 
 cultivation in the country. Tac. de Mor. G. 4. 
 Quos parturit fetus.] Contemptuously — as 
 if the Germans were the monstrous progeny 
 of the frightful soil and climate. 
 
 28. Bellum Iberice.] With the Cantabri of 
 Iberia or Spain. Od. ii. 6. 2. 
 
 29. Condit diem.] Spends and closes the 
 day. 
 
 Collibus in suis.] In the cultivation of the 
 vinas, on his own hills in peace. 
 
 30. Vitem viduas ducit, fyc] And attaches 
 again his vines to the long-widowed trees. 
 Referring, apparently, to the vineyards, which 
 had been neglected, wholly or partially, during 
 the civil wars. The vines were said maritare 
 the elms (Colum. v. 6.) and poplars (Epod. 2. 
 10.) to which they were bound. Hence the 
 trees are described as viduee, because the vines 
 had not, for some time before the present pro- 
 pitious reign, been so coupled with them. 
 The platanus Horace calls coelebs (Od. ii. 15. 4.) 
 because the vine never was tied to that tree. 
 
 31. Ad vina.] To drink his wine in full 
 security. 
 
 Hinc] After his day's labours — in the 
 evening. 
 
 Alteris mensis.] The second table — that on 
 which the wines and fruits were placed. The 
 first contained the substantial — the dinner 
 or coena itself. 
 
 32. Adhibet Deum.] And pays his respects 
 to you, as a tutelary divinity. Virg. Mn. v. 62. 
 So early as 724 U. C. libations, both public 
 and private, were directed by a decree of the 
 senate to be offered to Augustus. 
 
 33. Te multd, fyc] He expresses his re- 
 spect with many a prayer for your safety, and 
 libations of wine. Od. i. 31. 2. 
 
 34. Et Laribus, Sfc] And couples your 
 divinity with the Lares, in grateful rcineni-

 ODE VI. METRE VI. 
 
 Hymn to Apollo, employed, as was usual, 
 in commemorating the great achievements of 
 the Deity, but especially his destruction of 
 Achilles — an act of grace to the Trojans, with- 
 out which iEneas would never have been the 
 founder of the Roman empire, for the merci- 
 less Achilles would not have left him, or any 
 of them alive. The ultimate object of the 
 poet is to solicit the favour of Apollo in his 
 composition of the Carmen Scceulare. At the 
 close of the piece, as if Apollo was already in- 
 spiring him, he preludes, and exhorts the 
 young people, appointed to sing the Carm. 
 Sac, to execute the hymn correctly. 
 
 1. Proles Niobea.] The offspring of Niobe. 
 Niobe was the daughter of Tantalus, and wife 
 of Amphion. Proud of her numerous family, 
 she presumed to speak with contempt of La- 
 tona, as the insignificant mother of only two 
 children. This indignity Apollo, with Diana, 
 avenged bv destroying all her children. Ovid, 
 Met. iv. 156. 
 
 Magna lingua.] Niobe's insolent speeches. 
 
 2. Tityos raptor.] Scil. pudivit'uv. Tityo« 
 
 had attempted an act of outrage on the person 
 of Latona. Od. ii. 14. 8. 
 
 3. Sensit.] He found you, to his cost, the 
 avenger of the wrongs done to Latona. 
 
 Et Jehilles.] And Achilles also found you 
 able to subdue the bravest — whether Apollo 
 himself struck the blow, or directed the arrow 
 of Paris. Horn. II. xxii. 359. 
 
 4. Phthius.] The myrmidons, whom Achilles 
 conducted to Troy, occupied the region of 
 Phthiatis in Thessaly. 
 
 5. Ceteris major.] Superior to all others — 
 dpiarog 'A%aiwjA 
 
 Tibi impar, Sfc.] Incapable of encountering 
 you, though he was the son of Thetis, and 
 shook the Trojan walls with his spear. In 
 what are styled the heroic times, there were 
 no battering-rams for breaking down walls 
 and gates. They were attacked with weighty 
 spears, large stones, and manual force only.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE VII. METRE IX. 
 
 The poem bears a close resemblance to the 
 fourth Ode of the first book. In both, while 
 he commemorates the charms of spring, the 
 poet bids his friends, there Sextus, and here 
 Torquatus, think of the shortness of life, and 
 the inevitableness of its close, and wisely 
 make the most of the enjoyments of the pass- 
 ing hour. In the same tone are Od. ii. 9. and 
 14. To the same Torquatus is addressed Ep. 
 i. 5. He was grandson of the Manlius Tor- 
 quatus who was consul the year Horace was 
 born. 
 
 3. Mutat vices terra.~\ Spring for winter. 
 The soil changes its condition — torpid in the 
 winter, it stirs into activity in the spring. 
 Od. i. 4. 1. 
 
 Decrescentia.] No longer flooded by the 
 rains or melting snows, the subsiding streams 
 flow along their old channels, or within their 
 banks. 
 
 5. Gratia cum Nymp.~] Od. i. 4. G. 
 
 6. Nuda.'] Od. iii. 19. 17- 
 
 7- Annus, 8fc] The season of the year — 
 the return of spring, and the hours, &c, by 
 their rapid course, forbid your dreaming of 
 immortality — remind you of the brevity of 
 life. 
 
 8. Hora.] As a Goddess, to whom is as- 
 signed the office of conducting the seasons, &c. 
 
 9. Frigora, Sfc] The four seasons succeed 
 each other rapidly, and the year is soon com- 
 pleted. Winter relaxes at the touch of the 
 zephyrs. 
 
 Proterit.] Summer treads upon the heels of 
 spring, and thus pushes it onward.

 as soon as autumn, &c.

 Effuderit.] Scil. e cornu pleno. Od. i. 17«

 12. Bruma iners.] Inactive — without life 
 or vigour, and undisturbed by the cultivators 
 of the soil. 
 
 13. Damna tamen, Sfc] Yet these seasons 
 which we see vanish, return again at stated 
 periods ; but we, when once we visit Orcus, 
 revive no more. 
 
 Damna ccelestia, Sfc] The losses of the 
 old moons are replaced by the accessions of 
 the new, in their career through the ccelum.

 into the place, where, &c. — when we are 
 once dead, &c.

 of the most celebrated names are quoted, to

 three promises, to kill Hippolytus, and the 
 unfortunate youth in consequence perished

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE VIII. METRE I. 
 
 Gladly would the poet present his friends 
 with gifts of the rarest and choicest kinds, 
 and Censorinus especially, but he has nothing 
 of the sort, nor has Censorinus occasion for 
 them. He can, however, give him some 
 poetry — and poetry is not without its value, 
 for to it the great owe all their renown. 
 "What would have become of Scipio, Romulus, 
 Hercules, Bacchus, &:c. but for poets ? The 
 poem was written, apparently, on the Satur- 
 nalia, a period when friends were in the 
 habit of interchanging presents, and was 
 sent in lieu, or in lack of some other me- 
 morial. 
 
 1. Commodus.] As one ready to oblige his 
 friends, and especially adapt his favours to 
 their tastes. 
 
 Patents.] Bowls. 
 
 2. Censorine.] C. Marcus Censorinus, who 
 was Consul with C. Asinius Gallus, 746 U. C. 
 whom Vellei. ii. 102. describes as virum de- 
 merendis hominibus genitum. 
 
 JEra, $c] Pateras, (Bra, and tripodas — the 
 poet characterises all as pram i a fortium Grai- 
 orum. Of course, these were all prizes given 
 to the conquerors in the public games of 
 Greece ; and of these things, as works of art, 
 the Romans were at this time passionately 
 fond, and eager collectors. 
 
 jEra.] Lebetes. Horn. II. xxiii. 259. and 
 270. Virg. JEn. ix. 263. 
 
 3. Tripodas.] Vessels for various purposes 
 — warming water for bathing — for dressing 
 food — for containing wine, &c. Homer. 
 
 4. Neque tu pessima.] Nor should you 
 have the worst — i. e. he should have the best. 
 
 5. Divite me soil.] That is — I mean, if 
 I possessed pictures or statues, &c. 
 
 Artium.] Instead of works of art, as 
 Ep. i. 6. 17 ; Virg. ./En. v. 359. 
 
 6. Parrhasius.] A painter of Ephesus, 
 and cotemporary with Zeuxis, who yielded 
 the palm to him in a contest of skill. Zeuxis 
 painted a cluster of grapes, which some birds 
 flew at to peck ; but when Zeuxis, in his 
 elation, bade Parrhasius remove the curtain 
 and exhibit his performance, the curtain 
 proved to be the painting itself. Plinv 35. 
 10 ; Quint. 12. 10 ; Athen. 12. 11, and 15. 10. 
 
 Scopas.] A sculptor, said by Pausanius 
 to have been a native of Paros. Pliny 36. 5. 
 
 8. Solers ponere, fyc] Greek for in po- 
 nendo homine. Ponere was used of painters 
 and sculptors, as iardvai with the Greeks, 
 though applicable strictly to sculptors only. 
 
 9. Sed non hac, fyc.] But I have no such 
 things. I am not one of the rich, who alone 
 can command these costly treasures. 
 
 Nee tibi res, fyc] Nor are you so poor as 
 not to command them, if you choose. 
 
 10. Aut animus egens.] Nor do your in- 
 clinations lean that way. 
 
 Deliciarum.] Any thing for which a per- 
 son has a passion — any thing in the possession 
 of which he places his happiness. 
 
 11. Gaudes carrninibus.] You are fond of 
 poetry, and poetry, though nothing else, I 
 can give you ; and tell you, moreover, the 
 value of the gift. 
 
 12. Pretium muneri.] Not of the particular 
 gift, i. e. of the verses Horace is now sending 
 to his friend, but of poetry generally — by 
 poetry alone the brave and good are immor- 
 talized.

 NOTES. 
 
 13. Non incisa, fyc] Not statues and 
 inscriptions — nor the retreat of Hannibal, 
 nor the tributes of Carthage, shew the glory 
 of Scipio more illustriously than the Calabrian 
 muses. 
 
 Marmora, fyc] Statues with inscriptions 
 carved on the pedestals, commanded by the 
 authority of the senate, and erected in con- 
 spicuous places. 
 
 14. Per quae, spiritus, 8fc.~] Statues, which 
 by their fesemblance seem to breathe, &c. — 
 but still give the external form only. Ep. ii. 
 1. 248. 
 
 15. Non celeres fuga.] Scipio's invasion 
 of Africa compelled Hannibal to abandon 
 Italy, and hasten to the protection of Car- 
 thage. 
 
 16. Rejectaque.] Hannibal's threats of 
 destroying Rome were thrown back upon 
 himself, by Scipio's advance upon Carthage. 
 
 17- Stipendia.] The tribute imposed upon 
 Carthage by Scipio, is recorded by Livy as 
 among his highest merits. Liv. xxxviii. 53. 
 
 18. Ejus, fyc] Of Scipio — of him, who 
 returned from Africa with a name won from 
 the conquest of the country — who, from that 
 victory, was honoured with the name of Afri- 
 canus. 
 
 20. Calabrce Pierides.'] The poetry of 
 Ennius, in which he commemorated the vic- 
 tories of Scipio — in his metrical annals, of 
 which some fragments have been preserved 
 in the writings of others. Ennius was a na- 
 tive of RudicE, in Calabria ; he was upon terms 
 of familiar intercourse with Scipio, and died 
 
 8 
 
 at seventy, 584 U. C. According to Ovid, 
 Art. Am. iii. 409. a statue of Ennius stood 
 near that of Scipio, by the Porta Capena of 
 Rome. 
 
 21. Si chartce sileant, fyc] Compare Cicero 
 pro Archia — Nisi Ilias ilia extitisset, tumu- 
 lus, qui corpus ejus (Achillis) contexerat, no- 
 men etiam obruisset. 
 
 Quod bene feceris, 8fc.~\ Were it not for 
 Ennius's poetry, you, Scipio, would never 
 have had the due reward of your merits. 
 Pindar, Olymp. x. 109. and Nem. vii. 20. 
 
 22. Quid foret, fyc] What too would be 
 the glory of Romulus, unless Ennius had 
 rescued from oblivion his divine origin, &c. 
 From the relics of Ennius, it appears, that in 
 the first book of his annals he told the tale of 
 Romulus. 
 
 Ilia Mavortisque puer.] Romulus. 
 
 25. Ereptum, fyc] jEacus is indebted to 
 the poets for his rescue from the Stygian 
 waves — from oblivion. It is the poets who 
 have given him immortality. For iEacus, see 
 Od. ii. 13. 22. 
 
 27- Divitibus insulis.] The fiuicdphjv vrjcroi. 
 The islands, or seats of the blessed, in the 
 Elysian plains. Compare Virg. vEn. vi. G38 ; 
 Epod. 16. 42. 
 
 28. Dignum, SfeJ] It is the poets who 
 forbid the great and good to die, &c.

 ODE IX. METRE VIII. 
 
 In his Ode to Censorinus (the preceding 
 one) Horace assigns the glory of the good 
 and great wholly to the poets, and in this, in 
 which he commemorates the virtues of Lol- 
 lius, he promises his friend an immortal re- 
 membrance. Though Homer holds the first 
 place among poets, other poets are of high 
 distinction ; nor will Horace's own efforts be 
 forgotten. Many great men lived before 
 Agamemnon, but their memory is lost, be- 
 cause they had no poets to make them live 
 for ever, &c. Lollius was Consul 733 U. C. 
 and the poem probably written the same year. 
 
 2. Longe sonantem natus, Sfc] I, who was 
 born near the far-resounding Aufidus (Ofan- 
 to) — at Venusia, a town within a few miles of 
 that river — the principal one in Apulia. The 
 poet's meaning is — never believe that my 
 verses, though I am a native of so rude and 
 remote a region as Apulia, will perish, &c. 
 
 3. Non ante vulgatas.] Lyrics first intro- 
 duced into the Latin language by me. Od. i. 
 26. 10; iii. 30. 13; Ep. i. 1J). 24. 
 
 4. Verba socianda cliordis.] Words to be 
 set or sung to music — lyric poetry. Od. ii. 
 12. 4. 
 
 5. Non, si priores, Sfc] Compare Cic. 
 Orat. i. Nam in Poetis non Homero soli locus

 Sophocli, aut Pindaro ; sed horum vel secundis, 
 vel infra secundos ; and Antip. xxiv. 6 ; Anth.

 Alccei minaces.] Full of anger and bitter- 
 ness against the tyrants Myrsilus and Pitta- 
 cus, by whom he had been exiled. Od. ii. 
 13. 27. 
 
 8. Stesichorique graves.] Of weight and 
 dignity. Quintilian, x. i. describes him as 
 singing of the greatest wars, and the noblest 
 commanders, and sustaining on the lyre the 
 weight of the Epic, &c. Stesichorus was a 
 native of Himera in Sicily — died 556 B. C. 
 at a great age. 
 
 9. Anacreon.] Of Teos, in Ionia — his 
 death is dated 532 B. C. at the age of 85. 
 
 Lusit.] With reference to the materiel of 
 his poetry — loves and bacchanals. 
 
 10. Spirat, fyc] Love still breathes in his

 it prefers the honorable to the useful, and 
 rejects with scorn the bribes of the base, and 
 
 victoriously with its forces routs opposing 
 armies. Lollius was pretty obviously Con- 
 sul at the time ; and the poet's meaning is, 
 that Lollius, after his consulate, will con- 
 tinue to support the consular dignity, because 
 he who practises the virtues which become 
 the station, may be said to retain it.

 must come and see her old lover again, and 
 he will teach her some new songs, to soften

 ODE XII. METRE III. 
 
 The poet invites Virgil, now that spring is 
 returned, to come and enjoy the beautiful sea- 
 son with him. He has some excellent wine, 
 but if Virgil means to share it, he must bring 
 with him a box of nard. He is resolved to 
 be merry, and bids Virgil lose no time, bring 
 his essences, think of the shortness of life, 
 and mix a little nonsense with his wisdom. 
 The poem must have been written before 
 Virgil went to Athens, and, indeed, before 
 most or all of the other poems in this book. 
 Od. i. 4. 
 
 1. Veris- camites.] As the Eurus is des- 
 cribed Hiemis sodalis. Od. i. 25. 19. 
 
 2. Animce Thracice.~] The north winds 
 were called Thracian, as blowing to them from 
 that quarter, by Homer, and other Ionian 
 poets ; and the term, though inapplicable to 
 them, was adopted by the Romans — often the 
 blind imitators of the Greeks. 
 
 Thracice.~\ The prevalent winds in the 
 beginning of spring. Columella says, the 
 north winds, called Ornithice, began the 20th 
 of February, and continued thirty days, and 
 then came the swallow ; xi. 2. 21. The Ze- 
 
 phyrs were more unsteady and changeable, — 
 or prevailed later in the spring. 
 
 Impellunt lintea.'] Favour the resumption 
 of navigation, a subject of frequent allusion 
 with the poets. Od. i. 4. 2. Meleag. 110. 9. 
 and Marc. Arg. 24. 3. in Anth. Gr. 
 
 3. Nee prata rigent.] Od. i. 4. 4. 
 
 Necfluvii.] Od. iv. 7. 3. 
 
 5. Nidum. ponit, 8fc] Infelix avis is Progne, 
 by some represented as changed into a swal- 
 low, and by others into a nightingale. Ho- 
 race must be understood to make her a night- 
 ingale, for flebiliter gemens is scarcely applica- 
 ble to the swallow. Catullus has the same 
 word gemens, on the same occasion, and be- 
 sides adds sub densis ramorum concinit urn- 
 bram, — which does not at all correspond with 
 the habits of the swallow, and does perfectly 
 with those of the nightingale. 
 
 Ityn.] Or Itylus, the child of Progne, 
 which she and her sister cut up, &c. 
 
 6. Cecropia > domus aternum opprobrium.] I. e. 
 Progne — the eternal disgrace of the family of 
 Cecrops. 
 
 Cecropitf.] Progne was the daughter of 
 Pandion, king of Athens. Od. ii. i. 13.

 7- Quod male ulta est, Sfc] Cruelly and

 Progne killed her own child Itys, and served

 13. Adduxere sitim, fyc] Make us thirsty 
 — excite the desire of drinking wine. 
 
 Virgili.] Though no allusion to poetry 
 occurs, there is no reason for doubting the 
 identity of Virgilius with the poet — Horace's 
 known friend. The Juvenum nobilium cliens, 
 (line 15) may be considered as decisive.

 sons of Augustus — at this time, the "observed

 you can descend from your magnificence, and

 17- Nardi vina, 8fc] Bring with you an 
 onyx nardi, and I will give you some Calcne

 Ms friend to supply the whole feast, and he 
 will furnish the perfumes. 
 
 Nardi onyx.] If you bring an " alabaster 
 box of ointment," I will get a cadus or am- 
 phora of Calene wine from the repositories 
 of Sulpicius. 
 
 Onyx.] The word applies both to the gem 
 which the Greeks called onyx, from the re- 
 semblance of its hue to that of the finger-nail, 
 (oVv£) and also to a species of marble, or 
 alabaster of the same colour. Out of this 
 marble — or spar — small boxes for essences 
 were made, and the name, transferred from 
 the material to the box, finally came to ex- 
 press the casket used for essences. 
 
 18. Horreis.] Apothecce, or cellce vinarice.

 ODE XIII. METRE IV. 
 
 Lyce, though grown old, is still as eager 
 for admirers as ever. The poet exults over 
 the ruin of her charms, as the just retribution 
 of her former insolence. The Gods have 
 listened to his prayers. The tone is precisely 
 that of Od. i. 25. to Lydia, and of iii. 15. to 
 Chloris. Traces of similar sentiments exist

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE XIV. METRE VIII. 
 
 The poem is closely connected with the 
 fourth Ode of the present book. The victories 
 of Tiberius and Drusus over the Rhaeti and 
 Vindelici constitute the subject common to 
 both ; but every thing is made subservient to 
 the honour of Augustus, under whose happy 
 auspices the young princes acted. What ade- 
 quate honours can the Romans confer upon 
 Augustus ? For fifteen years his career has 
 been a succession of triumphs ; and now, to 
 crown all, he has subdued the Rhaeti and Vin- 
 delici by the hands of his adopted sons, Ti- 
 berius and Drusus. The poem must have 
 been written 739 U. C. when Augustus was 
 in the third year of his absence from the city. 
 Od. iv. 5. 2. 
 
 1. Qua cura Patrum, fyc] How can the

 Vindelici have lately, or at last, learnt what 
 
 you could do in war. A Greek construction, 
 like Ego ilium nescio, quifuerit in Terence in

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE XV. METRE VIII. 
 
 The poet, when attempting to celebrate the 
 glorious victories of Augustus, had been cen- 
 sured by Apollo for his presumption, and 
 could therefore only commemorate the felicity 
 enjoyed by the empire under his happy do- 
 minion. From the allusion to the closing of 
 the temple of Janus, the ode, it may be in- 
 ferred, was written 734 U. C. 
 
 1 . Prcelia loqui lyra.] To sing the victories 
 of Augustus accompanied by my lyre. The 
 phrase corresponds perfectly with verba chorclis 
 socianda loqui. Od. iv. 9. 4. 
 
 2. Increpuit ne parva, <yc] He "sharply 
 warned me against committing my little bark 
 to the sea — he forbade my attempting any 
 thing so hazardous — so far beyond my powers. 
 Propert. iii. 7. 3 ; Ovid, Trist. ii. 329. 
 
 3. Tyrrhenian.] The sea which washed 
 the shores of Italy — the centre of the Roman 
 empire, whose glories, the results of the good 
 government of Augustus, he had been tempted 
 to sing. 
 
 4. Tua cetas.] The times which have fallen 
 to us, under your dominion — the peace we 
 enjoy through your good government. 
 
 5. Fruges uberes.'] Abundance. Od. iv. 
 5. 18. 
 
 6. Signa restituit.] Od. iii. 5. The poet's 
 purpose is to indicate the perfect security of 
 the empire from that quarter. The restoration 
 of the standards by the Parthians implied sub- 
 mission. 
 
 Nostro Jovi.] To the deity under whose 
 
 protection the city was especially placed — 
 Jupiter Capitolinus ; though the standards 
 seem to have been deposited in the temple of 
 Mars Ultor. Dio liv. 8. 
 
 7- Derepta.] Ep. i. 18. 56. 
 
 Superbis.] With splendid decorations. Virg. 
 iEn. ii. 504. 
 
 8. Postibus.] Scil. Templorum. Od. iii. 
 5. 18. 
 
 Duellis.] Duellum, an old word for helium, 
 as clusit for clausit. Speaking of ancient 
 institutions, the poet affects the use of old 
 words. 
 
 Vacuum duellis.] The temple was closed 
 only when the republic was everywhere at 
 peace. 
 
 9. Janum.] The temple of Janus. Livy 
 i. 19. 
 
 Quirinum.] Janus, according to Macrobius, 
 was called Quirinus, ab hasta quam Sabini 
 curim vocant ; i. 9. 
 
 Clusit.] Augustus closed the temple three 
 times — in 725 U. C. after the battle of Actium, 
 Dio li. 20 ; in 730, after the Bellum Cantabrum ; 
 and in 734, after the recovery of the standards, 
 &c. The allusion is of course to a recent 
 event. 
 
 10. Evaganti frena, 8fc] Od. iii. 24. 29. 
 
 11. Emovit culpas.] Extirpated crime. Od. 
 iv. 5. 22. 
 
 12. Veteres artes.] Old virtues and habits. 
 Compare Livy's introduction to his History, 
 Nulla nil quam, §c. 
 
 15. Majestas.] Its glory and greatness. 
 
 16. A b Hesperio cubili.] From the ocean

 NOTES. 
 
 EPODE I. METRE XV. 
 
 When Maecenas was preparing to join the 
 fleet of Octavius, when on the point of sailing 
 against Antony and Cleopatra, the poet re- 
 solves to accompany him — not, he declares, 
 from any interested motive, but from his af- 
 fection for Maecenas, whose absence he knows 
 not how to sustain. The poem was of course 
 written 723 U. C. 
 
 No very satisfactory account can be given 
 why the Odes of this book are called Epodes. 
 Archilochus is said to have thus entitled some 
 of his Odes, which might have prompted 
 Horace, who was professedly an imitator of 
 his. Ep. i. 19. 23. Plutarch mentions (de 
 Mus.) t)\efact; andDiomedes accounts for the 
 name by stating that " portions of verses (by 
 which he seems to mean shorter verses), kir^- 
 dovrai, were sung, or added to the complete 
 and legitimate ones" — an explanation, which, 
 as it is inapplicable to many of the pieces, 
 may be supposed to have been merely a guess 
 and a blunder on the part of the grammarian. 
 The title may have sprung from the publisher 
 (to use a modern term) to express a supple- 
 ment or addition to the former books — con- 
 sisting of Odes excluded from Horace's own 
 
 collections for their personality, or for other 
 reasons not now discoverable. They are chiefly 
 his earliest productions. 
 
 1. Ibis, fyc] Will youthen venture in the 
 light barks of Caesar's fleet among the towering 
 bulwarks of the enemy ? 
 
 Liburnis.'] Scil. navibus. Meaning the 
 fleet of Octavius. Od. i. 37- 30. 
 
 Alta navium, 8$c.~\ The fleet of Antony, the 
 mention of whose name Horace, as has been 
 often noticed, sedulously avoids. The vessels 
 of Antony and Cleopatra looked, according to 
 Florus, like castles and towers. Flor. iv. 11 ; 
 and Dio i. 18. So Virgil, JEn. viii. 69. com- 
 pares them to mountains, or floating Cy- 
 clades. 
 
 3. Periculum.'} With reference to alta 
 propugnacula. 
 
 4. Maecenas.] Maecenas appears not, how- 
 ever, to have accompanied the expedition. 
 Compare Virgil, ./En. viii. 6J& — 695, where, 
 though Agrippa is highly extolled, no notice 
 is taken of Maecenas. He was probably in 
 command at home. 
 
 Tuo.] Scil. periculo. Prepared to encounter 
 Caesar's every peril at the hazard of your own 
 life — ready to meet any danger for Caesar's 
 sake.

 less afraid for you, while with you, than if I 
 were absent. 
 
 19. Ut assidens, <yc] As a bird, which 
 dreads the approach of snakes, when she sits

 of burying or squandering it. 
 
 33. Avarus ut Chremes.~] Not Terence's 
 Chremes, who, though he denied himself the 
 common indulgences of his station, did not 
 
 bury his money ; but Menander's in the The- 
 saurus, who buried his money in a tomb. 
 
 34. Discinctus nepos.} A careless spend- 
 thrift, like Nomentanus, so often alluded to in 
 the Satires. 
 
 Nepos.'] A profligate squanderer. Young 
 men brought up by their grandfathers were 
 generally more indulged than by fathers ; and 
 so often turned out thoughtless and extrava- 
 gant. But according to Festus, men of this 
 cast were called Nepotes, because they were 
 as careless of family matters, as those whose 
 fathers and grandfathers were still living — 
 i. e. as those who had no cares of the kind 
 upon their own shoulders. 
 
 Discinctus.} Indolent and careless, in op- 
 position to prcBcinctus — an active, stirring, 
 diligent person. The expression is obviously 
 taken from the loose, flowing dress of the 
 ancients.

 NOTES. 
 
 EPODE II. METRE XV. 
 
 The poet's purpose is to enforce his favorite 
 moral, that the love of money is insatiable — 
 perverts the understanding, and corrupts the 
 best sources of happiness. Alpheus, a money- 
 broker, is introduced describing the charms 
 of a country life in its details, and anticipating 
 his own enjoyment of them. He gathers in 
 his money for the purpose, but within one 
 little month resumes his old trade. 
 
 1. Negotiis, fyc] From the business of the 
 city, and all the anxieties attending it. 
 
 2. Ut prisca gens mortalium.} Virg. Georg. 
 ii. 532. 
 
 3. Rura exercet, fyc] Ploughs his own 
 fields, &c. Virg. Georg. ii. 356. 
 
 4. Solutus omni.} Released from all con- 
 cern with money-dealing, especially — as being 
 the profession of the speaker. 
 
 5. Neque excitatur, Sfc.} Happyishewho 
 is neither soldier — nor merchant — nor lawyer 
 — nor dependent on the great. 
 
 Excitatur miles.} Roused from his sleep, 
 by the trumpet, to battle. Tibull. i. 1.4. 
 
 Truci.} Harsh and grating to the cars of 
 the soldier, who knows it calls to encounter 
 perils, &c. 
 
 C. Neque horret.} Dreads, as a merchant, 
 the loss of his argosies.

 lity. 
 
 13. Reducta.} Sell, in sinus — winding with 
 the curvatures of the hills. Od. i. 17. 17- 
 Virg. >En. vii. 703. 
 
 Mugientium greges.} Herds of lowing

 Tonantis, fyc.} The atmosphere, and of 
 consequence the seasons, are especially under 
 the control of Jupiter. In winter, and par- 
 ticularly the beginning of winter, in Italy, 
 thunder is of frequent occurrence. 
 
 Annus hibernus.} The winter part of the 
 year — the winter.

 Sabina qualis, aut perusta solibus

 Distenta siccet ubera ; 
 Et horna dulci vina promens dolio,

 ex amphora non insuavi paret 
 ccenam non aliunde quaesitam : 
 hac inquam si adsint, non pree- 
 tulerim ostx-ea Lucrina, 
 
 32. Obstantes.'] Nets laid in their way— 
 to obstruct their progress, and intercept them. 
 . 33. Amite levi.~\ A pole, or fork, by the 
 aid of which the fowler suspended the net, 
 or threw it over the birds. 
 
 34. Turdis.] Field-fares. 
 
 35. Advenam.] A migratory bird — bird 
 of passage. For the flight of the cranes, see 
 Cicero de Nat. Deor. ii. 125. 
 
 36. Pramia.] The game — the produce of 
 the sport. 
 
 37. Quis non malarum, Sfc] Instead of 
 malarum curarum quas, fyc. 
 
 Amor.] Scil. habendi, apparently. Love 
 of money, for the speaker is a money-dealer. 
 In Ep. i. 7- 85. occurs amore habendi; and in 
 Ep. i. 1. 84. amor, as here without any ad- 
 junct, means a passion for building. 
 
 39. Quodsi, Sfc] But if, in addition to all 
 these occupations and amusements, the man 
 has a good wife to take care of his house and 
 his children — light him a fire against he comes 
 home tired at night — fold the sheep — milk 
 the ewes — and get his supper — the plain, 
 homely fare of the farm would be more wel- 
 come to me than all the dainties in the 
 world. 
 
 39. In partem juvet, Sfc] Take her share 
 in the management of the farm — the domes- 
 tic part of it. Eurip. El. 71- 
 
 41. Sabina qualis, fyc] A woman like the 
 wives of the old Sabines — an active, notable, 
 working woman — one who keeps her children 
 and family in order, and looks carefully after 
 her domestic affairs. Columell. iii. 6. 38. 
 
 Perusta solibus.] Burnt by the sun — of 
 no fastidious habits — not afraid to expose her 
 face to the weather. 
 
 NOTES. 
 
 42. Pernicis, §c] Of an active, sturdy 
 Apulian, whose wife was of the same cha- 
 racter. The first syllable of Apulus is long in 
 Horace, though that of Apulia is common. It 
 should always be written with one p. See 
 note, Sat. ii. 3. 191. 
 
 43. Exstruat lignis focum.] Pile wood 
 upon the fire — light up a fire to heat water 
 for her wearied husband to refresh himself by 
 washing and bathing. Tibull. on a similar 
 occasion, — et calidam fesso comparat uxor 
 aquam ; i. 1 0. 42. 
 
 Sacrum.] The hearth — sacred to the Lares. 
 Vetustis Ug7iis.] Dry sticks. 
 
 45. Claudensque.] Folding the fat sheep 
 — enclosing them within a fence of flakes, or 
 wattles. 
 
 Latum.'] Fat — in good condition. 
 
 46. Siccet ubera.] And milk the ewes. 
 Sheep only seem to be referred to. 
 
 47. Horna vina.] New wine — of the pre- 
 sent year. 
 
 Dolio.] The dolium was the larger vessel, 
 in which wine was kept before it was trans- 
 ferred into amphora. Wine in this state was 
 called vinum doliare, and was drunk by the 
 poor. Wine in amphora was vinum defusum 
 — laid up in the apotheca vinaria, improved 
 by keeping, and drunk by the rich. 
 
 Dulci.] Strictly, referrible to the wine. 
 The must lost its sweetness by age. 
 
 48. Inemtas.] Unpurchased — the produce 
 of the farm. 
 
 49. Lucrina conchylia.] The oysters ga- 
 thered from this lake were in the highest es- 
 timation. Sat. ii. 4. 32. and Macrob. ii. 11. 
 
 Lucrina.] Od. ii. 15. 3.

 NOTES. 
 
 50. Rhombus.'] A flat fish — turbot, or brill, 
 or plaice, if the name, as indicative of its 
 form, be any guide. The rhombus is every 
 where praised as one of the best fishes. Sat. 
 i. 2. 116. Columell. viii. 17- 9. 
 
 Scari.] According to Pliny, ix. 17- the 
 scarus was the prince of fishes. It was scarce, 
 and apparently only reached the shores of 
 Italy in rough weather. 
 
 51. Si quos.] Not all the scari, which the 
 storms that thunder from the east drives to 
 our shores. The scari were common in the 
 Carpathian Sea. Pliny xi. 37- 
 
 Eois intonata.] The storms which roar 
 from the east — the strong east winds — no 
 more. 
 
 53. Afra avis.] The guinea-fowl. Colu- 
 mell. viii. 2. 11. 
 
 54. Attagen Ionicus.] The red-headed 
 hazel-hen — still said to frequent the shores of 
 Asia Minor. 
 
 57- Herba lapathi.] Sorrel — from Xa7ra£w. 
 Sat. ii. 4. 29. 
 
 58. Malvce salubres, fyc] Marsh-mallows. 
 Od. i. 31. 16 ; and Martial x. 48. 7. 
 
 59. Terminalibus.] The festival of Ter- 
 minus — the protector of boundaries, was kept 
 on the 23d of February. Ovid, Fast. ii. 639. 
 
 60. Ereptus lupo.] Snatched from the jaws 
 of the wolf — torn, but not unfit for eating, at 
 least for people who were not, or could not 
 afford to be, fastidious. 
 
 61 . Has inter epulas, 8fc] Amidst such a 
 feast as this — how delightful to see the full- 
 fed sheep hastening home to the fold, &c. 
 
 63. Vomerem inversum.] The share turned 
 
 Virg. 
 
 up, to prevent its cutting the ground. 
 Eel. ii. 66. 
 
 65. Vernas.] Home-born slaves. 
 Positos.] Who have thrown themselves on 
 
 the ground, fatigued with their day's toil. 
 
 66. Renidentes.] If in agreement with 
 Lares — the images were sJiining from the re- 
 flection of the fire ; or if with vernas, as is 
 probable, laughing and joking. Sat. ii. 6. 66. 
 
 Circum Lares.] Columella, xii. de Villico, 
 directs him consuescat rusticos circa Larem 
 domini focumque familiar em epulari. 
 
 68. Jamjam.] In haste forthwith to be- 
 come a farmer. 
 
 69. Redegit] He collects his debts— to 
 lay out the money in the purchase of a farm. 
 
 Idibus.] One of the divisions of the Ro- 
 man month. Od. iv. 11. 14. 
 
 70. Calendis.] The first day of each month. 
 Both the Calends and the Ides were days for 
 money transactions. Loans were made and 
 repaid on these days, and interest was pay- 
 able every month on one or other of these 
 days. The Calend<e, in Sat. i. 3. 87. are 
 called tristes, with reference to the debtor, to 
 whom payment is, of course, rarely convenient. 
 
 Qucerit ponere.] To employ his money 
 again in usury. On the Ides of one month 
 Alphius collected his money, and by the Ca- 
 lends of the next, he wearied of the country, 
 and longed to return to his old employment. 
 The poet's meaning more correctly, perhaps, 
 is — so much was Alphius the slave of habit, 
 that by the return of the Calends, the first 
 day of business in the money-market, he would 
 gladly have resumed his old occupations.

 NOTES. 
 
 EPODE III. METRE XV. 
 
 Horace execrates garlic as worse than hem- 
 lock. It is the poison of Medea — the blood 
 of Nessus, &c. Some practical joke on the 
 part of Maecenas seems to have given occasion 
 to the poem. He may have offered Horace a 
 salad mixed up with garlick, which he knew 
 Horace detested. 
 
 1. Parentis, fyc] Hereafter, if any man 
 commits a parricide, let him be compelled to 
 eat garlick — it will dispatch him sooner than 
 hemlock. 
 
 Olim.'] If ever hereafter. 
 
 3. Edit.'] The old subjunctive form, edim, 
 is, it, instead of edat. 
 
 Cicutis.] Hemlock — given at Athens to 
 criminals for capital offences. The case of 
 Socrates is familiar. 
 
 4. O dura, Sfc] O the iron stomachs of 
 reapers — to endure this odious garlick. Com- 
 pare Virg. Ec. ii. 10. where Thestylis chops 
 up a sort of salad, made up of allium and ser- 
 pyllum for the reapers. 
 
 5. Quid hoc veneni, fyc] What poison is 
 this that rages and burns in my stomach ? 
 
 6. Viper, cruor.] Viper's blood is often 
 spoken of as a rapid poison. Od. i. 8. 9. 
 
 7. Incoctus, Sfc] Is it viper's blood, dressed 
 or mixed up with this salad, which has done 
 all this mischief? 
 
 Fefellit.] Which I have eaten inadvertently 
 — without being aware of the fatal conse- 
 quences. 
 
 8. Canidia.] Whose atrocities he inveighs 
 against in the fifth and seventeenth of these 
 Epodes. 
 
 Tractavit.] Has she handled — has she 
 mixed up this poisonous dish ? 
 
 9. Ut Argonautas, Sfc] It was with this 
 poison — this garlick — the juice of it — Medea 
 bathed Jason, when he went to break to the 
 yoke the wild bulls of iEetes, the stench and 
 potency of which was too mighty for them to 
 sustain. iEetes had consented to give up to 
 Jason the golden fleece, on condition he 
 ploughed a field with some bulls which 
 breathed flames, and sowed it with the teeth 
 of the dragon which guarded the golden 
 fleece. Through the assistance of Medea, the 
 king's daughter, who supplied him with cer- 
 tain charmed herbs, which quelled the fury 
 of the bulls, Jason accomplished his ultimate 
 purpose, and carried off the fleece and Medea 
 herself. Pind. Pyth. iv. 393; Apol. Rhod. 
 iii. 1041 ; Ovid, Met. viii 1. 
 
 Argonautas.] Jason's companions in the 
 Argo. 
 
 Candidum ducem.] The handsome chief — 
 Jason. 
 
 10. Mirata est.] She admired — of whom 
 she was enamoured. 
 
 13. Hoc del. Sfc] With nuptial presents 
 steeped in this garlick — that is, the mantle 
 and cap which Medea sent to Creusa, the 
 lady for whose sake Jason had deserted 
 Medea, and by which she perished — burnt 
 up by the virulence of the poison. Eurip. 
 Medea. 
 
 Pellicem.] Creusa, Jason's new wife — 
 called pellicem, to express the feelings of Me- 
 dea. Epod. 5. 64. 
 
 14. Fugit alite.] She fled to Athens, in a 
 car drawn by winged serpents.

 NOTES. 
 
 ODE IV. METRE XV. 
 
 The poet indignantly expresses his scorn 
 for some person, who, from the condition of a 
 slave, had become a military tribune, and was 
 bearing his honours insolently. The circum- 
 stances do not apply to Mena, Pompey's freed- 
 man, who is not known to have been a tri- 
 bune in the army, and certainly was in the 
 naval service of all parties. 
 
 1. Lupis et agnis, fyc] Our antipathy is 
 that of lambs and wolves. You are to me the 
 most hateful of mortals. 
 
 , Sortito obtigit.] What has fallen to us by 
 the allotment of nature — an inbred hostility. 
 
 3. Peruste, fyc] Seamed and galled as 
 you are — your back with the whip, and your 
 legs with the chain — i. e. slave as you have 
 been in fact, and still are in spirit. Ep. i. 
 16. 47- 
 
 Funibus lbericis.] With whips made up of 
 Spanish rush, or broom. The person thus 
 vituperated was probably a Spaniard by birth, 
 or had been a slave in Spain. 
 
 4. Compede.] Slaves, especially of the 
 lowest caste, wore fetters both at home and in 
 the fields. 
 
 5. Licet, Sfc] Though you shew that you 
 are wealthy by your insolent gait, &c. Sat. i. 
 2. 25. 
 
 6. Fortuna.] Your fortune does not change 
 your nature — you are a slave still. 
 
 7. Plant Sacram.] A place of frequent re- 
 sort for idlers. Sat. i. 9. 1. The fashionable 
 promenade — it led from the Porta Triumpha- 
 lis to the Capitol. 
 
 Te metiente, §c] Walking with measured 
 steps — affecting a stately air. In the same 
 sense as ambules.

 NOTES. 
 
 8. Cum bis trium uln.] With an immense 
 toga. This was the common affectation of the 
 time, especially with upstarts. Cicero too de- 
 scribes the voluptuous as velis non togis amicti. 
 Cat. ii. 10. 
 
 9. Ut ora, Sfc] How freely — how undis- 
 guisedly indignation turns upon you the faces 
 of those who pass you on all sides. — How 
 openly all express their indignation at your 
 pompous insolence. 
 
 11. Triumvir alibus.~\ The Triumviri ca- 
 pitals, whose office was the same as that of 
 the "EvdtKa at Athens. They carried into 
 execution the sentences of the higher courts, 
 and had themselves jurisdiction over slaves, 
 &c. 
 
 Sectus, fyc] This must be supposed the 
 expression of the general indignation. 
 
 Sectus.'] Scourged by order of the Trium- 
 viri, for thefts or other offences. 
 
 12. Prcec. ad fastidyim.] To the disgust — 
 from weariness at the frequency of the punish- 
 ment — of the Prceco, whose business it was, 
 as the clerk of the Triumviri, to proclaim crime 
 and sentence, and report the final execution. 
 
 13. Arat.] That is, is the owner of the 
 best lands of Italy, &c. Od. iii. 16. 26. 
 
 14. Mannis.] Small horses of Gaul, swift, 
 in great repute, and much in request with the 
 rich. Od. iii. 27- 7- Lucret. iii. 1076. 
 
 Appiam.] Rides or drives along the Ap- 
 pian road — the great road into Campania and 
 to Brundusium. 
 
 15. Sedilibusque.] And sits like a mag- 
 nificent knight, in the front seats of the thea- 
 tres, in contempt of Otho. 
 
 16. Othone.] L. Roscius Otho, 686 U. C, 
 carried a law excluding all but knights from 
 the fourteen rows of seats next the orchestra. 
 Senators occupied the orchestra. 
 
 Othone contemto.] This upstart — the sub- 
 ject of the poet's severity — was a Tribunus 
 militum, and therefore strictly in possession 
 of equestrian rank ; but the very object of 
 Otho had been the exclusion of the plebeian 
 and servile classes ; and so the spirit of his 
 law was broken by the intrusion of such a 
 person. 
 
 17« Quid attinet, 8fc.] To what purpose is 
 it, that such fleets are equipped against pirates 
 and slaves, if this fellow be a Tribunus militum. 
 
 Ora rostrata.] Prows projecting, like the 
 beak of a bird, strongly defended with copper, 
 or made of that metal. In naval battles the 
 aim was to dash the prow against the ribs of 
 the opponent, and break them in, and for this 
 purpose it was made of great strength. 
 
 19. Contra latrones.] The crews of Pompey 
 — to subdue which Octavius Caesar set out 718 
 U. C. — consisted mainly of pirates and slaves. 
 Dio 48. 20. Flor. iv. 8. Horace, Epod. 9. 9. 
 
 20. Tribuno.] The number of tribunes 
 to each legion varied at different periods. 
 At this time there appear to have been six, 
 who were thus in command each of a sixth, 
 or when the legion's complement was 6000, 
 of a thousand men. Hence by the Greeks 
 they were called %i\iap%ot. They were next 
 in military rank to the consul and his legati. 
 
 Hoc, hoc] The repetition of the pronoun 
 is obviously for the sake of emphasis.

 NOTES. 
 
 EPODE V. METRE XV. 
 
 Canidia, grown old and ugly, had but one 
 admirer left, and he an old man, and in- 
 triguing with other women. In her despera- 
 tion, she has recourse to her magic practices, 
 and seizing a child, and stripping him, with 
 the aid of some other old witches like herself, 
 proposes to bury him to the chin, to starve 
 him in that position to death, and make of 
 his marrow and liver a philter of potency 
 sufficient to bring back her old lover. The 
 child, who had in vain implored her mercy, 
 at last breaks into vituperations, which express 
 the poet's detestation of the wretch Canidia. 
 
 1. At, Deorum, Sfc] The boy, in alarm, 
 exclaims — O Gods and men, what means this 
 tumult ? He must be supposed to witness the 
 old witches busy with the preparations of the 
 magic rites. 
 
 Deorum quicquid.'} I. e. all the Gods. 
 
 3. Quid iste fert ?] What mean these pre- 
 parations ? 
 
 4. In unum me, Sfc] Why are the fierce 
 looks of all of you turned thus upon me ? 
 
 5. Per liberos, fyc] By your own children 
 — the boy thinks of the distress of his own 
 mother for the loss of him. 
 
 Si vocata, Sfc.~\ If Diana, invoked by you, 
 was ever really present at the birth of any off- 
 spring of yours — if ever you had any children 
 of your own, and have not always stolen them 
 from others, as me from mine. 
 
 7. Per hoc, Sfc] By this splendid purple 
 — by this prcetexta — which the boy wore, and 
 which was a mark of gentle birth. 
 
 Inane.] Because Canidia was proceeding 
 without any regard to his rank or his prayers. 
 
 Purpura decus.] The prcetexta was worn 
 by the children of persons of rank till they 
 exchanged it for the toga virilis. 
 
 8. Improbaturum.'] Who will disapprove — 
 and avenge my wrongs. 
 
 9. Quid, ut nov. fyc] Why do you thus 
 frown on me, like a step-mother, — or, like a 
 wild beast, wounded by a spear, and fierce for 
 revenge 1 
 
 10. Bellua.] The more forcibly to express 
 Canidia's savage ferocity. 
 
 11. Ut hac, Sfc] After the boy thus, with 
 trembling mouth complaining, stood stripped 
 — of a form and person such as might have 
 softened the hearts of Thracians, Canidia bids, 
 &c. 
 
 12. Insignibus raptis.] His dress and orna- 
 ments torn from him. 
 
 13. Impube corpus.] In apposition with 
 puer — instead of impubi corpore. 
 
 14. Thracum.] Savage Thracians. Od. i. 
 18. 
 
 15. Brevibus, fyc] With small vipers 
 wreathed in her matted locks, like one of the 
 Furies. Lucan, iv. 054. 
 
 10. Incomtum.] Tibull. i. 3. 09. 
 17. Caprificos.] The wild-fig, which, as 
 often found growing among the tombs, — and

 Cur dira, Sfc] Why are the charms with 
 which Medea burnt up Creon's daughter of 
 less potency than of yore ? No root or herb 
 escaped my skill — i. e. I made use of the 
 same as herself; but he still sleeps with his 
 harlots and forgets me. Medea steeped 
 Creusa's mantle in her poisons and destroyed 
 her ; I have dipped the old man's clothes in 
 the same, merely to bring him back to me, 
 and have produced no effect.

 Fleturum.] You, who shall weep for this 
 — for setting my enchantments at defiance.

 supposes Varus had counteracted her charms. 
 She will find one to surpass them all. The

 77. Majus parabo, fyc] I will prepare, 
 and will make you drink a more potent cup

 79. Priusque, <yc] And sooner shall the

 85. Unde rumperet, fyc] With what words 
 he should express his indignation at her

 86. Misit Thyesteas, Sfc] He gave utter- 
 ance to curses like those of Thyestes — such 
 as Thyestes imprecated upon his brother,

 87. Ve?iena.] Your charms. Venena, po- 
 tiones, pharmaca, voces, incantamenta, are 
 used by the poets with little discrimination. 
 
 Magnum fas, Sfc] The great distinctions

 88. Humanam vicem.'] The lot which

 frighten sleep from your eyes. Compare Cic.

 — on the Esquilian hill, where slaves were 
 buried, and the bodies of those who were 
 executed were thrown. Maecenas, afterwards, 
 built a splendid palace on the spot, and 
 changed the scene completely.

 NOTES. 
 
 EPODE VI. METRE XV. 
 
 The poet compares some bullying libellist 
 to a dog who barks and snaps at every one he 
 meets, but, mongrel-like, flies when attacked 
 in return — and threatens him with destruc- 
 tion. As Horace introduces no name in the 
 body of the poem, either here or in the fourth 
 Epode, the common inscriptions cannot with 
 any assurance be admitted. The name of 
 Cassius Severus is usually attached, whom 
 Tacitus notices Ann. i. 72. and iv. 31. 
 
 1. Quid immerentes, Sfc] Why, dog, do 
 you harass inoffensive strangers — coward as 
 you are towards wolves ? 
 
 Immerentes, fyc] The immerentes hospites 
 represent the harmless and such as are unable 
 to defend themselves ; and the wolves, those 
 who, whether harmless or not, can take care 
 of themselves. 
 
 3. Quin, Sfc] Why do not you turn 
 hither your empty threats, and bite me who 
 will bite again ? 
 
 Si potest] If you can force yourself to 
 such an effort. 
 
 Inanes.'] The threats of a dog, who can 
 bark, but not bite. 
 
 4. Me.~\ A dog of a different breed. 
 
 6. Arnica vis pastoribus.'] Whose sagacity 
 and strength are invaluable to shepherds — 
 applicable to both breeds, the Molossus, and 
 Lacon. 
 
 8. Qufecunque, Sfc] I can prick up my 
 ears, and, like a Moloasian or a Laconian 
 
 dog, can drive every beast before me — can 
 make them all run. 
 
 9. Tu, quum, fyc] You, a yelping cur, 
 when you have filled the forests with your 
 noise, at the first sop which is thrown you, 
 put your nose to it and are quieted. 
 
 11. Cave, 
 
 ?c] Changing the meta- 
 
 phor, Horace bids the person addressed, take 
 warning — for, like a bull, fiercely I lift up 
 horns to toss and gore malignant wretches 
 like you — as Archilochus did at Lycambes, 
 and Hipponax at Bupalus. 
 
 13. Lycambce spretus gener, <§•<?.] That is, 
 Archilocus, to whom Lycambes had betrothed 
 his daughter, and afterwards married her to 
 a richer husband. Archilochus's indignant 
 Iambics drove Lycambes to hang himself, and, 
 according to some accounts, the lady her- 
 self. Archilochus was a native of Paros, and 
 flourished in the seventh century B. C. 
 
 Infido.] A dative depending on spretus. 
 
 14. Acer hostis Bupalo.] Instead of acer 
 in Bupalum. The acer hostis is Hipponax, a 
 poet of Ephesus, in the sixth century B. C. 
 who wrote Iambics in the bitter spirit of 
 Archilochus. Bupalus and Anthermus, two 
 brothers, and sculptors, exhibited a caricature 
 likeness of the poet, who was lame or de- 
 formed, and he took his revenge in a satire 
 which drove them, like Lycambes, to destroy 
 themselves. Pliny 36. 5. 
 
 15. Atro.] I. e. livido — envious or ma- 
 lignant. 
 
 16. Inultus, Sfc] Like a child who can- 
 not avenge its own wrongs.

 Written probably in 722, or 723 U. C. when 
 Octavius was meditating a rupture with An- 
 tony. The poet deprecates the renewal of 
 the civil wars, but at the same time ascribes 
 the source of them to divine vengeance, for 
 the fratricide committed by Romulus at the 
 building of the eternal city. 
 
 1. Scelesti, Sfc] With the impious design

 or Britain subdued, but that Rome itself

 EPODE VIII. METRE XV. 
 
 No where has Horace more grossly violated 
 decorum than in this sketch of an old woman, 
 who had survived her attractions, but not her 
 passions — a violation to be palliated only by 
 the coarseness of the age, and the example of 
 Archilochus, or some Greek poet whom he 
 was probably imitating. The poet supposes 
 the old woman to ask him why he is so cool 
 and indifferent ; to which he replies by a 
 description of her person. 
 
 1. Rogare te, 8fc] Is it for you — can you 
 ask, what cools the fervour of my admiration, 
 when your teeth are black, and age ploughs 
 furrows on your brow ? 
 
 4. Frontem rugis exaret] Virg. JEn. vii.

 11. Imagines.] Of your ancestors, who 
 have borne triumphal honours — though they 
 should be borne in the procession of your 
 funeral. This was usual then with women 
 of family, as well as men. 
 
 Funus.] The funeral is mentioned ma- 
 liciously, as in Od. iii. 15. 4. Chloris is said 
 to be maturo propior funeri. 
 
 13. Rotundioribus.] The sphericity of the 
 pearl added to the value. Pliny ix. 35.

 volves state and parade. Epod. 4. 5. 
 
 15. Libelli Stoici.] The books of the 
 Stoics like — are wont to lie on your silken 
 couches, &c. The old woman affected the 
 study of philosophy to add to the attractions 
 of wealth and magnificence, and supply the 
 absence of personal charms.

 NOTES. 
 
 EPODE IX. METRE XV. 
 
 In the general joy at the news of Caesar's 
 victory of Actium, the poet proposes to Mae- 
 cenas to commemorate the occasion with a 
 festive party, as he had done on the defeat 
 of the younger Pompey. Then inveighing 
 against the degeneracy of Roman soldiers, 
 he breaks into a rapturous anticipation of 
 Caesar's new triumph. The thirty-seventh 
 Ode of the third Book was written on the 
 news of Antony and Cleopatra's death. 
 
 1. Repostum.] Reserved for festive oc- 
 casions. Od. iii. 28. 2 ; Od. i. 37- 5. 
 
 2. Victore Ccesare.~\ In the battle of Ac- 
 tium— fought on the 2d Sept. 723 U. C. 
 
 3. Sub alta, domo.'] Maecenas's palace Od. 
 iii. 29. 6. and 10. 
 
 Sic Jovi gratum.'] Scil. sit — so may it be 
 agreeable to Jupiter — ovtoj Ait <pi\ov. 
 
 4. Beate.] Referrible to the general mag- 
 nificence of Maecenas, but especially to his 
 splendid residence on the Esquilian hill. 
 
 - 5. Lyrd, 8fc] The lyre, meanwhile, and 
 the pipes playing — the lyre, a Doric measure 
 — the pipes, a Phrygian one. Od. iv. 15. 30. 
 
 Carmen.] Equivalent here to the modus, 
 by which word was designated, apparently, 
 both keys and measures. 
 
 Mixtum.] Must mean alternately, as the 
 two instruments cannot be supposed to be 
 played in different keys. The subject, how- 
 ever, of ancient music is full of obscurity. 
 
 7- Ut nuper, fyc] As lately we did — i. e. 
 four years ago, when the crews, collected from 
 slaves and fugitives, which Pompey led against 
 
 the Triumviri, were routed in the Straits of 
 Sicily, and Pompey perished, 
 
 Freto.] The Straits of Sicily. 
 
 Neptunius dux.] Sextus Pompeius, who, 
 from his naval successes, styled himself the 
 son of Neptune. Aurel. Vict, de V. i. 84. 
 Dio xlviii. 19. 
 
 8. Ustis navibus.] The ships which Pom- 
 pey abandoned were burnt by Caesar. Dio 
 xlix. 10. 
 
 9. Minatus Urbi, Sfc] Pompey, who 
 threatened the city with the chains which he 
 had taken off from the slaves, of whom his 
 ships' crews mainly consisted — who attempted, 
 that is, to subject Rome to his power by bands 
 of fugitive slaves. Veil. ii. 3. Dio xlviii. 19. 
 
 11. Romanus, eheu! fyc] The Roman sol- 
 dier, alas ! the slave of a woman, carries his 
 weapons and his pallisadoes, (for entrenching 
 his camp) and can yet bear to serve under 
 wrinkled eunuchs. Antony is of course 
 pointed at. Horace scrupulously abstains, as 
 every where else, from naming him. 
 
 12. Emancipatus.] Subject, like a slave, 
 to the empire of a woman — of Cleopatra, 
 queen of Egypt. 
 
 13. Spadonibus.] The allusion is to Mar- 
 dian, who commanded the Egyptian forces. 
 Plut. in Ant. 
 
 Fert vallum, §c] Cicero describes the la- 
 bours of the Roman soldiers, Tusc. ii. 16. 
 According to Vegetius, with arms, tools, pro- 
 visions, stakes, &c. every one carried sixty 
 pounds' weight. 
 
 14. Rugosis.] Terent. Eun. iv. 4. 10.

 NOTES. 
 
 16. Conopium.'] A mosquito-curtain, used 
 by the Egyptians — a symptom of base effemi- 
 nacy in a Roman tent. Antony, it may be 
 inferred, had one. 
 
 Sol aspicit, fyc] As if the sight of such 
 a thing was almost as horrible as the Cosna 
 Thyestea, from which the Sun shrunk. 
 
 17- Ad hoc] Instead of ob or propter. 
 
 Ad hoc frementes, fyc] At this sight the 
 two thousand Gauls turned their horses, de- 
 serted from Antony, and went over to Caesar. 
 This desertion of Deiotarus and Amyntas, the 
 chiefs of the Gallograeci, in Galatia, the poet 
 ascribes to their indignation at the command- 
 er's effeminacy, instead of the compact en- 
 tered into with Caesar before the battle. Plut. 
 in Ant. and Veil. ii. 84. 
 
 19. Hostiliumque, fyc] That is, some of 
 Antony's ships, which, in the battle, backed 
 towards the left, and lurked in the port. 
 
 20. Puppes sinist. citce.] The nautic phrase 
 of puppim ciere, means to impel a vessel back- 
 wards — stern foremost. Of course, in this 
 case, the purpose was to avoid the appearance 
 of revolt or flight, the better to deceive their

 Scipio's virtue won him immortal honour by

 to commemorate his glory, on the ruins of

 EPODE XI. METRE XI. 
 
 Whilst in love, and no man is more sus- 
 ceptible than himself, Horace cannot make 
 verses. He recollects with shame, how ab- 
 surdly he acted some years before, when en- 
 amoured of Inachia, and how ill he followed 
 his friend Pettius's advice — now, again, his 
 soul is absorbed by Lyciscus, and nothing but 
 a new object will rescue him from his infatu- 
 tion. 
 
 1. Nihil me, sicut antea.} I have no plea- 
 sure, as was the case before, when I was in 
 love, in writing verses — I can never write, 
 when I am in love. 
 
 2. Amore percussum.} Struck by Love — 
 the God whose shafts wound deep. 
 
 3. Amore.} By Love, who attacks me be- 
 fore all others — picks me out, to set me on 
 fire for, &c. 
 
 Expetit urere.} Greek for ut urat. 
 
 4. In puellis urere.} Like ardere, with or 
 without in, — instead of ob puellas. Od. iii.

 indignation once free boils in my breast till 
 it disperses to the winds these idle complain- 
 ings, which only inflame — which bring no 
 relief to my wounds, the shame of repulse 
 
 will cease — will forbid me to strive longer 
 with her who will not meet me on equal 
 terms — will not return my affections. 
 
 16. Libera.] No longer checked or sup- 
 pressed — an indignation which makes me 
 give free way to my wounded feelings.

 18. Imparibus certare] Imparibus refers 
 to Inachia, who does not return his affections. 
 He and she are not matched or suited to each 
 other — they are not a pair. Had Horace 
 meant his richer rivals, he would probably 
 have used ditiores, or potiores, or potentiorcs. 
 But Epod. 15. 14. quceret iratus par em seems

 EPODE XIII. METRE X. 
 
 The poet bids his friends, with whom he 
 wishes to spend the wet day, seize every op- 
 portunity of enjoyment, and indulge in the 
 pleasures of youth while they are within reach; 
 advice repeatedly urged by Horace, and now 
 enforced by the authority of Chiron, who, on 
 foretelling Achilles his early fate, advised him 
 to drown his cares in wine. 
 
 1. Ccelum contraxit.'] I. e. has drawn the 
 clouds together in the sky. From these clouds 
 thus collected in the sky, a horrible tempest is 
 impending. 
 
 2. Deducunt Jovem.] Jupiter is the im- 
 personation or deification of the atmosphere, 
 and when it rains or snows, he is said to de- 
 scend upon the earth. Virg. Eel. vii. 60.

 Jlapiamus, eye] Let us seize the occasion, 
 
 and make use of this rainy day — fit for 
 nothing, as it is, but a jovial meeting. 
 
 4. Dumque virent genua.] While there is 
 vigour in our knees — while we are young. 
 Od. i. 9. 17- Theoc. 14. 70. Propert. iv. 5. 57- 
 
 5. Obductd, 8fc] Let old age be dismissed 
 from your brows shaded with the clouds of 
 care. Let us smooth the wrinkled brow of 
 care, and be merry. 
 
 Senectus.] Senectus here expresses the 
 serious, or grave look of age, which care and 
 anxiety give. 
 
 6. Tu vina, fyc] Addressing one of them 
 — as if the entertainment was to be at the 
 common cost of the party, and the person

 Fide Cyllenea.] The lyre invented by 
 Mercury, who was born in Cyllene, a mountain 
 of Arcadia.

 11. Nobilis ut, Sfc] As the noble Chiron 
 sung, i. e. prophesied to Achilles ; and when 
 he had announced his prophecy, advised. 
 
 Centaurus.] Chiron, famous for his wisdom 
 and virtue, to whom Thetis consigned the 
 education of her son. Pind. Pyth. ix. 88. 
 
 Grandi.] In anticipation of Achilles' cele- 
 brity. 
 
 13. Assaraci tellus.] Troy was of old go- 
 verned by Assaracus, the son of Tros. Virg. 
 JEn. i. 284. 
 
 Te manet, fyc] To Troy you must go — 
 for the Greeks will not be able to capture the 
 town without you. 
 
 14. Scamandri.] Called also Xanthus — 
 the sources of which were in Mount Ida. 
 
 — The stream swept through the plain of 
 Troy. 
 
 Simois.] Another small river, which fell 
 into the Scamander. Both streams ennobled 
 by Homer and Virgil. 
 
 Lubricus.] Expressive, perhaps, of its wind- 
 ing course, like that of a snake. More likely 
 an ornamental epithet merely, applicable to 
 any river, flowing gently. 
 
 15. Unde tibi, Sfc] A return from which 
 land the Parcae by their inevitable thread have 
 broken off. That is — it is your fate never to 
 return from Troy. The events of life are re- 
 presented by a thread spun by the Fates 
 extending continuously to the close of it. In 
 Achilles' case the thread is snapped before the 
 return. 
 
 Subtemine.] Strictly the subtemen is the 
 woof — the thread which is interwoven with 
 the warp. Together they constitute the tex- 
 ture.

 NOTES. 
 
 EPODE XIV. METRE XVI. 
 
 Maecenas seems to have importuned the 
 poet for some Iambics — to which Horace re- 
 plies, that love is the impediment — that he is 
 as enamoured as ever was Anacreon, and 
 Maecenas can himself estimate the force of the 
 plea. 
 
 1. Mollis, fyc] You kill me by so often 
 asking why indolence has diffused oblivion 
 through my senses, as deeply, as if I had 
 drunk of the cup of Lethe ? — why I have for- 
 gotten my promise ? 
 
 Mollis inertia.] Indolence indulged — which 
 amounts to effeminacy. 
 
 3. Pocula Lethceos, fyc] Cups which bring 
 with them Lethaean sleep — Cups filled with 
 the waters of Lethe. 
 
 4. Arente fauce.'] With dry throat — 
 thirstily, and, of course, abundantly. 
 
 5. Candide.] Whose nature is not such as 
 to prompt you to make unreasonable requests 
 — to be importunate. 
 
 6. Deus.] Love. 
 
 Nam.] Supply — do not wonder — -for in- 
 dolence is not the cause, but love. 
 Vetat.] Epod. ii. 2. 
 
 7. Inceptos, fyc] The Iambics which were 
 begun, and some time ago promised to be 
 sent to you. 
 
 8. Ad umbilicum, fyc] To complete. The 
 umbilicus was a small stick or roller, round 
 which the MS. was rolled. The extremities 
 of the umbilicus were tipped usually with some 
 metallic ornament. To bring the poem to the 
 umbilicus is to wind the MS. round it, which 
 implies, of course, the completion of the com- 
 position. 
 
 10. Anacreonta.] A native of Teos in 
 Ionia, whence his lyre is repeatedly called 
 Lyra Teia. Od. i. 17- 18. Od. iv. 9. 9. 
 
 12. Non elaboratum ad pedem.] That is — 
 carelessly, not strictly according to the laws of 
 metre — an irregularity which Horace ascribes 
 to the agitated state of the poet's feelings. 
 
 13. Ureris, fyc] You are yourself kindled 
 with the same flame ; — and if the flame which 
 set Troy on fire was not more beautiful — if 
 your mistress be, as she is, as beautiful as 
 Helen, &c. 
 
 Ignis.] The object of affection — the beauty 
 who kindles the flame of love, is often called 
 ignis or flamma. Virg. Eel. iii. 66. Horace, 
 Od. i. 27. 20 ; but here the word applies to 
 the conflagration of Troy, as well as the ex- 
 citement of Paris. 
 
 15. Gaude sorte tua.] Which is better than 
 mine. 
 
 Neque uno contenta.] Catullus makes the 
 same complaint of his mistress, 68. 135.

 EPODE XV. METRE XVI. 
 
 The poet assures Neaera, who had broken 
 her vows of eternal fidelity, that if he once 
 take the resolution of renouncing her, it will 
 be irrevocable. Nor will her new favourite 
 have any reason to exult in his triumph — he 
 will experience the same perfidy, and Horace 
 will laugh in his turn.

 and the stars are very commonly made the 
 witnesses of lovers' vows. Meleag. 71- 1. in

 vows, — or at the time intended to do so. 
 
 4. In verba mea.~] You swore to the terms 
 of the oath dictated by me. 
 
 5. Arctius, Sfc] Clinging to me with your 
 arms, more closely than the oak is clasped by 
 the ivy. 
 
 Atque.~\ For quam.

 of giving a close embrace.

 EPODE XVI. METRE XVII. 
 
 Civil war still raging, and the Romans 
 destined, as it seemed, to expiate the crimes 
 of their ancestors, the poet recommends the 
 desperate resolve of the Phocaei — to abandon 
 their own native land, and seelc a new home 
 in some distant country — in the happy isles 
 where reign security and abundance. 
 
 1. Altera cetas.] A second age — Loosely in 
 this sense — These civil wars began in the 
 days of our fathers, and they still continue in 
 ours. The poem may have been written about 
 the time of the seventh and ninth of these 
 Epodes, that is, when a new war was breaking 
 out between Octavius and Antony. If then 
 the commencement of the civil war be dated 
 from Sylla's hostilities against Marius 666 
 U. C. they had lasted with some interruptions 
 fifty-five years. 
 
 2. Ipsa.] Herself, emphatically. By her 
 own, not by any foreign force. 
 
 Suis viribus ruit.] Epod. 7- 0. 
 
 3. Quam neque.] The Marsic or Social war. 
 Od. iii. 14. 18. 
 
 4. Porsena? manus.] The war which Por- 
 sena of Etruria waged with Rome to replace 
 the Tarquins. Livy ii. 9. 
 
 5. Mmula nec virtus Capuce.] In the second 
 Punic war. Cicero speaks of Capua as altera 
 Roma. Philip. 12. 
 
 Spartacus.] The servile war of which 
 Spartacus was the leader. Od. iii. 14. 19. 
 
 6. Allobrox.] The Allobroges occupied the 
 country along the Rhone from the lake of 
 Geneva to the river Isere. 
 
 Novisque rebus infid. <yc] The Allobroges 
 were subjected to the empire, 631 U. C. by 
 Domitius Ahenobarbus, but repeatedly at- 
 tempted to shake off the yoke. Catiline and 
 Lentulus endeavoured to attach them to their 
 faction. Sail. Cat. Bell. 
 
 7- Nec Germania.] Od. iv. 5. 26. 
 
 Ccer tiled.] Alluding to the colour of the 
 eyes of the Germans. 
 
 8. Par. abom. Hannibal.] On account of 
 their sons slain in the war excited by Hanni- 
 bal — as bellaque matribus detestata. Od. i. 1.

 patriotic, as in line 37- 
 
 17. Nulla sit, Sfc] There can be no better 
 plan or resolve than this — to imitate the ex- 
 ample of the Phocaei. 
 
 Phocaiorum velut.] To go — as the Phocaei, 
 who, with curses imprecated upon themselves 
 if they returned, fled from their lands and 
 homes, and abandoned their temples to wolves 
 and bears — to go wherever our feet shall bear 
 us, or the winds invite, &c. The Phocaei — the 
 people of Phocaea in Ionia — when besieged by 
 the forces of Cyrus, and hopeless of otherwise 
 escaping subjection, resolved to abandon all. 
 In testimony of their resolve, they threw into 
 the sea a piece of iron, and bound themselves 
 by an oath never to return till it rose to the 
 surface again. Herod, i. 165.

 fore it is too late.

 28. Padus.] The Po — a river in the north 
 of Italy, falling into the gulf of Venice. 
 
 Matina cac] Hills of Calabria, in the 
 neighbourhood of Venusia, the birth-place of 
 Horace — and suggested here to the poet by 
 his familiarity with them. 
 
 29. Seu.~] Or when. 
 
 Apenninus.'] The ridge of mountains which 
 stretch along nearly the whole length of Italy. 
 
 Procurrerit.] Run onward into the city, 
 and desert the land.

 of different kinds couple, contrary to the course 
 of nature.

 which must ever be dear. Ovid, Ex. Pont. 
 i. 3. 35.

 Tollite luctum.] Away with — yield to no 
 effeminate lamentations at this abandonment 
 of your country. 
 
 40. Etrusca prater, Sfc] Speed past or 
 beyond the Etruscan shores — cross the seas 
 to the Atlantic. 
 
 41. Nos manet Oceanus.] It awaits us — 
 thither we must go. 
 
 Oceanus circumvagus.] Which roams, or 
 rolls round the earth — like Homer's 'Qke- 
 clvoq. 
 
 42. Divites et insulas.] Thither let us re- 
 pair—to the lands, the happy lands, and rich 
 islands — the rich lands of the happy isles. 
 These happy isles, both above ground and 
 below, are the frequent subject of allusion 
 with the poets. In the ocean they have been 
 supposed to be identified with the Canaries ; 
 and the florid descriptions of these places by 
 ancient geographers might well warrant the 
 poet in renewing there the golden age. Ac- 
 cording to Plutarch, Sertorius in 683 U. C. 
 when his affairs were getting desperate, me- 
 ditated taking refuge with his friends in the 
 Canaries — a circumstance which Horace had 
 probably in mind.

 NOTES. 
 
 EPODE XVII. METRE XIV. 
 
 Affecting to be suffering tortures under the 
 enchantments of Canidia, inflicted on him in 
 revenge for his pasquinades, the poet sup- 
 plicates her mercy — ready, as he declares 
 himself, to give any satisfaction, and even 
 make his lyre lie to the skies in her favour. 
 Canidia replies only with new threats of 
 vengeance against the man who had exposed 
 her to the general scorn and ridicule of the 
 town. The real offence was charging Canidia 
 with witchcraft, which the poet ingeniously 
 contrives, under cover of apology, to redouble. 
 
 1. Manns do, Sfc] I submit — I throw 
 myself at your feet, and confess the might of 
 your science. 
 
 2. Regna per Proserp.~\ He implores her 
 by what he assumes to be most sacred with her. 
 
 3. Diance.] As Hecate. 
 
 Numina.] A deity not to be lightly roused 
 — whose indignation is fatal. 
 
 4. Valentium.] Able to call and bring 
 down, &c. Epod. 5. 45. 
 
 Libros, <yc.] In which were inscribed the 
 potent words, or formula, which compel the 
 moon to obey, &c. — the books which contain 
 the rules of the art. Pliny 30. 1. 
 
 5. Refixa.~\ The sense requires refixa in- 
 stead of defixa. The stars here are not fixed, 
 but unfixed — taken from their spheres ; and 
 unfixing is the idea irresistibly demanded by 
 devocare, though it may itself have led to the 
 alliterative word defixa. 
 
 6. Parce, Sfc] Forbear — stop the further 
 outpouring of your incantations. 
 
 7- Citumque retro, fyc.'] Loosen — let the 
 turbo unwind the cords. As if Canidia, 
 while she gave utterance to her incantations, 
 kept winding a cord round a reel, and the 
 faster and tighter she wound, the more in--- 
 tense grew Horace's tortures — the effects of 
 which he afterwards describes. Or turning 
 a reel, or capstan, which drew the cords 
 tighter round him, and so screwed him to 
 tortures. 
 
 8. Movit nepotem, fyc] With grave mockery 
 he urges the placability of Achilles, &c. 
 
 Telephus. ~\ Telephus touched — that is, 
 induced the grandson of Nereus to have 
 mercy. Telephus, king of the Mysi, in re- 
 pelling an attack of the Greeks, was wounded 
 by Achilles, and cured by him with the spear 
 which had inflicted the wound. Hygin. Fab. 
 101. Ovid, Trist. v. 2. 15. 
 
 Nepotem,.'] Achilles, whose mother, Thetis, 
 was the daughter of Nereus. 
 
 11. Unxere.] The bodies of the dead were 
 rubbed with oil. Virg. JEn. vi. 218. 
 
 Unxere matres, <yc] Though Achilles had 
 devoted Hector a prey to birds and beasts, 
 he was yet induced by the prayers of Priam 
 to restore the body for burial. 
 
 12. Hectorem addictum.'] Achilles had 
 often threatened to throw Hector's body to 
 the dogs, &c. Iliad, xxiii. 183. 
 
 Homicidam.] Homer's avdpocpovog. The 
 brave. 
 
 13. Relictis mcenibus.] Conducted by Mer- 
 cury. Od. i. 10. 14. 
 
 14. Pervicacis.] As cedere ucscii, in Od. i.

 NOTES. 
 
 15. Setosa, fyc] Ulysses's crew shook off 
 from their bristled backs the rough skins, at 
 the will of Circe. That is, Circe, at the 
 prayers of Ulysses, restored to their own 
 forms, his friends, whom she had metamor- 
 phosed into hogs, &c. Horn. Odyss. x. 
 
 16. Laboriosi.~\ Harassed with troubles 
 and dangers. 
 
 18. Notus honor. .] Their human form — 
 the dignity of the human form. 
 
 19. Dedi satis, Sfc] I have suffered 
 enough — i. e. by her tortures, the effects of 
 which he proceeds to describe. 
 
 20. Amata, fyc] Dear as you are to all 
 the blackguards in town. Od. iii. 6. 30. 
 
 21. Fugit juventas.'] My youth has fled — 
 one of the effects of her torturing charms. 
 
 Verecundus color.] I have lost my colour. 
 The colour of modesty — fresh colour — mean- 
 ing what we call colour, opposed to paleness. 
 
 23. Capillus albus.] My hair is turned 
 gray- 
 
 Odoribus.] By your magic herbs — their 
 potent odours — stinks. Theocrit. ii. 88. 
 
 24. Nullum a labore, Sfc] I can get no 
 sleep. I am harassed day and night — my 
 feelings are in a state of tumult. 
 
 25. Urget diem, fyc] Night follows day, 
 and day follows night, &c. 
 
 Neque est levare, fyc] Nor is it possible 
 to breathe with freedom, &c. Horace is all 
 along affecting to ascribe the effects of years, 
 and perhaps of ill health, to the arts of Can- 
 idia. 
 
 27- Ergo, negatum, Sfc] Therefore I am 
 compelled by experience to believe, what I 
 before denied, that your incantations can 
 shake the breast, and split the head. 
 
 28. Sabella.] The Samnites were called 
 Sahelli. They and the Marsi were alike said 
 to be addicted to these practices. Pliny 3. 12. 
 
 29. Marsd ruenid.] Epod. 5-76. Ovid, 
 Art. Am. ii. 102. 
 
 31. Delibutus Hercules, Sfc] Epod. 3. 
 17- 
 
 32. Nee Sicand, Sfc] Catull. 68. 54. 
 
 33. Tu, donee, #c] Till I am reduced to 
 ashes — till, become dry ashes, I am scattered 
 at the will of the insulting winds. 
 
 35. Cales officina.] You, like Medea's 
 kettle, are boiling with Colchian poisons — you 
 work your charms. 
 
 36. Quod me manet, Sfc] By what fine, 
 or penalty can I escape your clutches ? 
 
 39. Centum juvencos.] A hecatomb. 
 
 Mendaci lyra.] By my lying lyre — which 
 shall proclaim you, worthless and shameless 
 as you arc, to be good and virtuous.

 NOTES. 
 
 41. Perambulabis.] The word involves the 
 notion of insolent assumption — like ambulare, 
 Epod. 4. 5. 
 
 42. Infamis Helena. ] Though offended with 
 the poet on account of his libels on their sis- 
 ter, Castor and Pollux, overcome by his re- 
 pentance, restored him his eyes, which they 
 had taken from him. 
 
 44. Vati.'] Stesichorus. Od. i. 16. 
 
 45. Et tu.~\ Be you as merciful as they. 
 Potes nam.] The customary form in pray- 
 ers, dvvacrai yap. 
 
 46. Nee obsoleta, fyc] Neither contempt- 
 ible, &c. — who are neither sprung from the 
 lowest rabble, nor a wretch who dabbles in 
 witchcraft — meaning she was both. 
 
 Obsoleta.] As res obsolete usually are — 
 rags — things worn out — the last stage of any 
 thing. 
 
 Paternis sordibus.] Of the lowest birth — 
 of the basest origin. 
 
 47- Nee in sepul. Sfc.] Nor an old wretch, 
 accustomed to disturb the ashes of the dead 
 in the tombs of the poor. That is — you are 
 an old witch, who employ the ashes of the 
 dead for magic purposes. Sat. i. 8. 22. 
 
 Sepulchris pauperum.] For the tombs of 
 the rich were watched, to protect them from 
 the plundering sagce. 
 
 48. Novendiales, fyc] As if the ashes must 
 have been buried nine days to make them 
 serviceable for magic rites. Though the mean- 
 ing might be— you, who disturb the ashes of 
 the poor on the day of their burial — if Servius' 
 account, Virg. JEn. v. 64. were correct, that 
 the ashes were not conveyed to the tomb till 
 
 the ninth day ; — but that could never have 
 been the case with slaves. Sat. i. 8. 9, 10. 
 
 49. Tibi hospitale, fyc] Ironically — the 
 poet means she was just the contrary. Epod. 
 5. Sat. i. 8. 
 
 50. Pactumeius.] And Pactumeius is your 
 own son — implying that he was not, but stolen 
 from his real parents, in allusion to Epod. 5. 5. 
 
 52. Fortis puerpera.] Unenfeebled by par- 
 turition — insinuating that she had never given 
 birth to children herself. Epod. 5. 5. 
 
 54. Non saxa, fyc] Not deafer are rocks 
 to shipwrecked mariners tnan my ears to your 
 prayers. 
 
 Nudis.] Stripped of every thing. 
 
 55. Neptunus hibernus.] The sea in win- 
 ter — when stormy. 
 
 Alto salo.] In the deep waves. 
 
 56. Inultus ut, fyc] Unpunished shall I 
 suffer you to have laughed at, and published 
 the Cotyttian mysteries — the rites of Cupido 
 liberus? 
 
 Cotyttia.] These rites were instituted by 
 the Thracians in honour of Cotytto, that is, 
 of Venus Libera, or Licentia ; and hence 
 Cupido is here called Liberus. 
 
 58. Et Esquilini, 8fc] And with impunity, 
 as if you were the high-priest of the Esqui- 
 lian incantations, and had a right to inspect 
 them — suffer you to fill the town with my 
 name ? Epod. 5. 
 
 Venefici.] Called Esquilini, because on 
 the EsquUice, the general burial-ground of the 
 poor, the saga were accustomed to collect the 
 bones and ashes of the dead for their noctur- 
 nal ceremonies. Sat. i. 8.

 these things with impunity, of what avail is

 how to mingle draughts of rapid poison ? 
 
 62. Sed, fyc.~\ But no — a slower death 
 awaits you than you wish for. You must

 breast — and sometimes to hang yourself — but 
 in vain.

 The earth shall yield to my triumph — shall

 CARMEN S.ECULARE. METRE VI. 
 
 Augustus celebrated the Secular Games in 
 the year 737 U. C, on which occasion, at the 
 request it is said of the emperor, Horace sup- 
 plied the Hymn addressed to Apollo and 
 Diana, as the Dii Averrund, the averters of 
 evil ; or, as the sun and moon, the physical 
 sources of salubrity and fertility. Three dis- 
 tinct appeals are made to them, — the first, 
 extending to line 32, that Apollo, till the Se- 
 cular Games came round again, might behold 
 no city in the world superior to Rome, and 
 that Diana would favour the legitimate in- 
 crease of the population ; — the second, to the 
 60th line, that under their joint protection, 
 the youth might be virtuous, the aged at ease, 
 and the whole people prosperous and happy ; 
 — and the third, that under their auspices the 
 empire might flourish for ever. Od. iv. 6, in 
 which the poet invokes the aid of Apollo, was 
 preliminary to this poem. 
 
 1. Silvarumque potcns.~\ Od. iii. 22. 1. 
 
 3. Date, fyc] Grant what we ask on this 
 sacred occasion. 
 
 5. Quo, 8fc.~] The celebration of the Secu- 
 lar Games — an occasion on which the Sihvlline 
 
 verses direct that boys and girls, selected from 
 the best families of Rome, should sing a hymn 
 to the Gods — the protectors of Rome. 
 
 Sibyllini.'] These Sibylline verses, which 
 concern the Secular Games, are extant in 
 Zosimus ii. 6. 
 
 6. Virgines lectas.] There were twenty- 
 seven of each sex — whose parents were still 
 living. 
 
 7. Septem colles.] Rome. 
 
 10. Celas, Sfc] Who bring forth and lay- 
 up the day — you, by whom the day begins 
 and ends. 
 
 Alius, Sfc] And reappear every day still 
 the same. 
 
 11. Possis nihil, Sfc] May you visit no 
 greater city in the world than Rome — that is, 
 of course, may you cause Rome to be superior 
 to every other. 
 
 13. Rite maturos, <yc] The chorus now 
 addresses Diana in her obstetrical capacity, 
 and prays her to extend her favour to the 
 legitimate offspring of marriage. 
 
 Rite.] According to the practice of her 
 office. 
 
 14. IUthrjia.] The Greek name applied to 
 Diana in that capacity.

 NOTES. 
 
 Lenis aperire.] Instead of in aperiendis — 
 in facilitating births at the full period. 
 
 15. Lucina seu Genitalis.] Latin names for 
 the same. 
 
 Sive probas, Sfc] If you prefer being called. 
 Sat ii. 6. 20. 
 
 Lucina.] As she who brings into light and 
 life. 
 
 16. Genitalis.'] As she who favours mo- 
 thers in production. 
 
 17. Producas sobolem.] Bring them into 
 the world — favour their birth. 
 
 Patrunique decreta.] The Lex Julia de ma- 
 ritandis ordinibus is specifically meant — the 
 law which Augustus had endeavoured to carry 
 726 U. C. and again the year in which the 
 Secular games were celebrated, with but par- 
 tial success. It was finally carried, in its full 
 extent, in 762 U. C. when M. Papius and Q. 
 Poppaeus were consuls, and distinguished 
 as the Lex Papia Poppcea. Tacitus, Ann. 
 iii. 25. 
 
 18. Prosperes.] May you prosper, or con- 
 firm the proposed law. 
 
 19. Prolisque novce feraci.] Because by 
 this law provision was made for securing legi- 
 timate offspring. 
 
 20. Lege maritd.] The same law, de mari- 
 tandis ordinibus — the object of which was the 
 encouragement of marriage, by conferring 
 privileges in its favour, and inflicting penal- 
 ties on celibacy. 
 
 21. Certus undenos, 8fc] That the fixed 
 period — at the expiration of one hundred and 
 ten years — may repeat these hymns and 
 games three days and nights. 
 
 Undenos decies.] This number of one hun- 
 
 dred and ten years is prescribed by the Sibyl- 
 line verses for the secular celebration. 
 
 22. Que.] Couples cantus and ludos. 
 
 23. Ter die, 8fc] This duration too is 
 prescribed by the Sibylline verses. 
 
 24. Frequentes.] Attended numerously— 
 by the legitimate offspring of parents, in con- 
 sequence of the laws of Augustus. 
 
 25. Vosque.] And you, O Parcae, who 
 predict with infallible truth what has once 
 been determined upon, and which the course 
 of events confirms, connect good times with 
 the past (whether good or bad) — make the 
 future happy. 
 
 Veraces cecinisse.] You Goddesses, who 
 truly sing, i. e. foretell, &c. 
 
 26. Dictum est.] Scil. a fato. Appointed 
 by fate. The Parcae appear here as the organs 
 of the Fates, announcing their decrees. 
 
 Stabilisque.] Repeat the relative quod — 
 so rarely omitted. 
 
 27. Peractis.] The word may refer to the 
 times of the civil wars — or to the period which 
 had elapsed since their termination. 
 
 29. Fertilis Tellus.] According to the Si- 
 bylline verses, due honour was to be paid to 
 the Earth also, and the Earth accordingly is 
 here addressed as a divinity, by whose favour 
 corn and cattle were protected. 
 
 30. Spiced, Sfc] Tibull. i. 1. 15. 
 
 31. Fetus.] The produce of the lands — 
 the crops. 
 
 Salubres.] Referrible to both aquce and aurce. 
 
 33. Condito telo.] With the quiver closed, 
 and bow relaxed, and hung upon the shoulder; 
 as in line 61. Od. ii. 10. 20 ; iii. 5.60. 
 
 34. Audi pueros — audi puellas.] The boys

 of Apollo's chief functions — augur — archer 
 — president of the Muses — physician. Pind. 
 Pyth. v. 80. 
 
 Augur, 8fc.~\ If Apollo be thus propitious

 which the Carmen Sceculare was sung.

 NOTES. 
 
 The poet traces the discontent which he 
 finds pervading all classes and professions, to 
 envy and avarice. 
 
 1. Qui fit, fyc] How happens it, Maecenas, 
 that nobody is content with his lot, whether 
 choice or chance has determined it ; but, on 
 the contrary, lauds the condition of those who 
 are engaged in different pursuits ? 
 
 Mcecenas.] Addressed as the poem is to a 
 man of liberal spirit and principles, it has the 
 air throughout of an indirect compliment. 
 But Odes, Satires, Epistles, all are alike de- 
 dicated to his friend and patron. 
 
 2. Ratio.~\ Choice — the result of delibera- 
 tion — m accordance with circumstances. 
 
 Seu fors objecerit.] Or chance threw it in 
 his way — the effect or fiat of circumstances 
 over which he has had no apparent control. 
 
 Illd.~\ Scil. sorte quam, &c.

 fession different from his own. 
 
 4. Gravis annis.~\ The veteran — with his 
 
 strength broken, and vigour exhausted in the 
 long and hard labours of war. 
 
 5. Fractus membra.'] Greek construction 
 — like stratus membra. Od. i. 1. 21. 
 
 6. Austris.] Loosely, for any violent winds 
 — as the Africus, Od. i. 1. 15. though, of 
 course, to navigators in the Mediterranean, 
 the Auster and Africus, both often stormy, 
 the first, the dux turbidus and arbiter Hadrice, 
 were the most formidable.

 — not exposed to such perpetual risks and 
 alarms. 
 
 Concurritur.] The encounter takes place

 NOTES. 
 
 portunities of his clients, the lawyer extols 
 the felicity of a country life. 
 
 10. Consultor.] He who consults the law- 
 yer — the client. 
 
 Sub galli cantum.~] Originally, at Rome, 
 patrons received their clients early, to leave 
 them and themselves at liberty to pursue 
 their several occupations, and the custom 
 survived the circumstances which gave rise 
 to it. The great held their levees early when 
 they had sunk into matters of ceremony ; and 
 the professional lawyers, into whose hands 
 fell the business of advising, continued the 
 practice, and received their clients, sub galli 
 cantum. Ep. ii. 1. 103. Cicero pro Muraena, 
 speaking to Sulpicius, the most eminent con- 
 sultus of his day, says, Vigilas de node ut tuis 
 consultoribus respondeas. 
 
 11. Ille, <yc] The farmer — who, dragged 
 up to town to consult his lawyer, on account 
 of a cause depending in the courts, is so de- 
 lighted with town, to which he is a stranger, 
 that he thinks none so happy as the resident 
 at Rome. 
 
 Datis vadibus.'] And therefore has a cause 
 to defend in the courts. A plaintiff is said 
 vadari — i. e. to compel the defendant to give 
 bail ; and the defendant, on the other hand, 
 is said dare vades — i. e. persons who, at their 
 own risk, engage for the defendant's appear- 
 ance in court — bail or securities. Tech- 
 nically, in Horace's time, vas applied exclu- 
 sively to criminal cases; but colloquially, vas 
 and press seem to have been used indiscri- 
 minately, in matters of civil process. 
 
 13. Cetera dc gen.] And other instances 
 
 of a similar kind — enough to tire the tongue 
 of babbling Fabius. 
 
 14. Fabium.] Some person, whether phi- 
 losopher or lawyer, distinguished for his lo- 
 quacity. See end of Sat. i. 2. 
 
 Ne te morer, fyc] Not to keep you longer 
 in suspense, or waste your time, listen to the 
 object of these remarks — to the purpose for 
 which I have said thus much — which is, to 
 shew the temper of those who are discontented 
 with their lot. 
 
 18. Mutatis partibus.] Governed by the 
 preposition a. Quit your old professions, 
 now changed according to your prayers. In- 
 dulge your wishes. Away ! &c. 
 
 19. Nolint.] The subjunctive — depending 
 on si quis deus, &c. 
 
 Atqui, fyc] But yet they may be happy — 
 the happiness they long for is within their 
 reach. They may realize their wishes — the 
 lawyer become a farmer, &c. 
 
 20. Quid causce, fyc] Then if they refuse 
 the offer — what is to prevent Jupiter from 
 justly puffing both his cheeks at them for 
 their perverseness, and saying he will not 
 henceforth lend so ready an ear to their 
 prayers ? 
 
 21. Buccas inflet.] Descriptive of a 
 symptom of anger. Ep. ad Pis. 94. So tclq 
 yvdOovQ (f>vcroJv. Dernosth. 
 
 23. Praeterea, ne, Sfc] But, not to glance 
 laughingly over these grave subjects, like one 
 who handles comic topics — though what for- 
 bids our telling a serious truth with a smile,

 NOTES. 
 
 is it to you to bury by stealth, frightened 
 while you do it, a mass of gold and silver in 
 the earth ? The poet thus argues with the 
 man who hoards up what he cannot, or has 
 not the spirit to use. 
 
 42. Defossd.] I. e. effossd — in a hole dug 
 in the ground. 
 
 43. Quod si, 8fc.~\ But, replies the hoarder, 
 if you once lessen the heap, it may get 
 reduced to a miserable as. 
 
 44. At, ni, fyc] Well, rejoins the poet, 
 but what is the beauty of the heap thus piled 
 up, if it be not lessened — what is the use of 
 money, but to be spent ? Theoc. xvi. 22. 
 
 45. Millia, fyc] Should your own area 
 have threshed a hundred thousand modii of 
 corn — though your lands produce thus much, 
 your stomach will not, for that, contain more 
 than mine. 
 
 Area.] A spot in the corn-fields, cleared 
 for the purpose of threshing the crops. 
 
 46. Hoc.'] For ob, or ideo. On account of 
 this abundance. Sat. i. 2. 81 ; i. 3. 93 ; i. 4. 
 9. &c. 
 
 Ut si, 8{c.~\ In this respect you are like 
 the slave who, though he carries the bread- 
 bag, gets no more of the contents than the 
 rest of his fellows. 
 
 47- Reticulum panis.'] The bread-bag — 
 the bag, or net, in which the bread was car- 
 ried — of course, for the field-slaves. 
 
 Venales.] The slaves who, exposed to sale, 
 had been purchased by their masters. 
 
 49. Vel die, 8fc] Or tell me— what dif- 
 ference can it make to the man who lives 
 
 within the limits of nature, whether he 
 ploughs a hundred or a thousand acres ? He 
 can himself consume the produce of neither. 
 
 Referat viventi.] The dative with referre 
 thus used impersonally is an unusual con- 
 struction. 
 
 Intra fines, 8fc] Who consumes what 
 nature requires, and no more. 
 
 50. Jugera.] Jugerum is a space con- 
 taining twice 120 feet square ; or 240 feet by 
 120 — about two-thirds of an English acre. 
 
 51. At suave, Sfc] But, says the hoarder, 
 it is very agreeable to take what you want 
 from a large heap. 
 
 52. Dum, Sfc] So long as you, replies the 
 poet, let me take from my little heap as much 
 as you take from your large one, why, &c. 
 
 Haurire.] The word, strictly, is applicable 
 only to liquids, but the poet already had in 
 mind his illustration from the Aufidus. 
 
 Reiinquas.] Colloquially for concedas. 
 
 53. Cumeris.] Vessels of osier or pottery, 
 in which corn for immediate use was kept — 
 containing five or six modii. The modius 
 itself is about a peck. Ep. i. 7- 30. 
 
 54. Ut tibi, Sfc] It is just as ridiculous 
 as, if you wanted a glass of water, and said, 
 I would rather take it from a great river 
 than this little spring. 
 
 Urnd, vel cyatho.] A jug or a glass of 
 water. Literally, the urna = 4 congii ; the 
 congius = 6 sextarii ; and the sextarius = 12 
 cyathi. 
 
 Liquidi.] I. e. liquoris. Water. 
 
 56. Ex hoc, Sfc] Little spring before us.

 NOTES. 
 
 Eofit, fyc] And what is the consequence 1 
 Why that the rapid Aufidus (the river Ofanto) 
 sweeps away those, bank and all, who covet 
 more than is needful — who, not content with 
 the spring, prefer supplying their wants from 
 a large river, like the Aufidus, and get 
 drowned in its rapid stream — i. e. pay the 
 penalty of exorbitant passions. 
 
 58. Ferat.~\ For auferat. 
 
 59. Limo turbatam.'] Muddy, like the 
 waters of a flooding stream. 
 
 60. In undis.~\ Scil. Aufidi., 
 
 61. At bona pars.] But a good — i. e. a 
 large part of mankind, like the hoarder, 
 whom the poet had been addressing. 
 
 Cupidine falso .] By desires which prompt 
 them to trespass upon the true limits of na- 
 ture — in contempt of all moderation. 
 
 62. Nil satis, fyc.~\ Nothing is enough, 
 they cry (inquit). You cannot have too 
 much, because your importance grows with 
 your wealth. The more you have, the more 
 the world esteems you. 
 
 63. Quid facias illi ?] What can you do 
 with such a person ? As if the poet ad- 
 dressed another relative to the hoarder. 
 
 Illi.] Strictly referrible to bona pars ; but 
 it must be applied to the hoarder — as being 
 one of the bona pars, or like them. 
 
 Jubeas, fyc] Bid him i. e. let him be mi • 
 serable, since he loves to be miserable — does 
 so, in despite of your arguments. 
 
 64. Ut quidam, 8fC.~] As a story is told 
 of a rich and sordid fellow of Athens, accus- 
 tomed thus to scorn the sentiments of the 
 people. 
 
 66. Sibilat, Sfc] The people hiss me in 
 the streets, but I clap my own hands at home 
 —theatrical phrases. 
 
 68. Tantalus, #c] A Tantalus, who catches 
 at the stream which glides from his lips. 
 These are the words of the poet, at which 
 the miser of the dialogue laughs. 
 
 69. Quid rides ?] What do you laugh at ? 
 What is Tantalus to you, say you ? Why are 
 not you in the same circumstances? 
 
 Mutato nomine.] Put your own name for 
 that of Tantalus, and his tale is yours ; for he 
 beheld the water before him, and could not 
 reach it — it was useless to him ; and you gaze 
 at your money in the chest, and make no 
 use of it. 
 
 71. Indormis inhians.] Over your bags 
 piled together in arcd, you sleep, as not 
 daring to quit them — gasping, i. e. panting 
 for more. 
 
 72. Cogeris, fyc] And are forced by your 
 own avarice, which makes you shrink from 
 the use of them, to spare your bags, as if 
 they were things dedicated to the Gods ; or 
 to delight in the sight of them, as if they were 
 pictures made solely to be admired. 
 
 73. Nescis, Sfc] Do you not know what 
 money is good for — the services it can do ?

 Ummidius, qui adeo opulentus 
 (haud prolixa est narratio) ut 
 pecuniam metiretur : tam par-

 Tyndaridarum fortissima. Quid

 adversis frontibus. Quando te 
 avarum esse prohibeo, non te 
 volo esse nequam et perditum. 
 Est aliquod discrimen inter Ta- 
 naim et socerum Viselli. Est 
 mediocritas in rebus : adeoque 
 sunt certi limites, ultra vel citra 
 quos rectum stare non potest. 
 Revertor illuc unde digressus

 NOTES. 
 
 dreaded lest the want of food should overtake 
 him. 
 
 99. At hunc, fyc.~] But him — this Ummi- 
 dius — a liberta cut in two with an axe — mur- 
 dered. 
 
 Liberta.'] His mistress, apparently. 
 
 100. Fortissima Tynd.~] Another Clytem- 
 nestra. Fortissima applies not to Clytemnes- 
 tra, but the liberta. The poet applauds the 
 murder of such a wretch as Ummidius ; and 
 humorously calls women who murder their 
 husbands, Tyndaridce — as if descendants, like 
 Clytemnestra, of Tyndarus. The allusion may 
 be mainly to the axe, with which Clytemnestra 
 is described as striking Agamemnon when 
 quitting the bath. Juven. Sat. vi. 657. 
 
 101. Quid mi, 8fc.~\ What then, is this 
 your advice to me, to live like Maenius or 
 Nomentanus ? Two persons often glanced 
 at as spendthrifts and profligates — well known, 
 of course, though the names may be assumed 
 ones. Maenius, Sat. i. 3. 21. and Ep. i. 15. 
 26. Nomentanus, Sat. i. 8. 11; ii. 1. 22; 
 ii. 3. 224. 
 
 102. Pergis, 8fc.~\ Will you still put ex- 
 tremes together, front to front — prodigi with 
 avari ? 
 
 104. Vappam."} Vappa, which usually ex- 
 presses wine spoilt — wine which has lost its 
 
 spirit and flavour, — is here applied to one who 
 has squandered his property in profligate pur- 
 suits. 
 
 105. Est inter Tanaim, &fc.~\ Of course 
 these persons were as' opposite in qualities, 
 moral or personal, as the avari and prodigi. 
 Tanais is said to have been a freedman of 
 Maecenas, and a spado; while Visellus's father- 
 in-law was a person afflicted with hernia, or 
 rather hydrocele. The allusion is sufficiently 
 revolting. 
 
 106. Est modus, §c~\ There is a measure, 
 or rather a medium — a middle point in things ; 
 — there are lines of demarcation, on neither 
 side of which can right stand. 
 
 108. Illuc, fyc.~] To the question, from 
 which I diverged, I return. How is it that 
 nobody lives content with his own lot, but 
 lauds that of others 1 
 
 Nemone, 8fc.~\ Is it that, like the miser, 
 nobody is content with his own condition, but 
 rather praises that of others — and pines with 
 envy because his neighbour's goat has a fuller 
 udder than his own — and does not compare 
 himself with the crowds of poorer men, — but 
 labours to outstrip this and that particular 
 man, who is richer than himself? 
 
 111. Majori turba, Sfc] The number of 
 the poor — meaning, as Horace always does

 NOTES. 
 
 by the word pauperes, such as have enough 
 for the demands of nature, but not more — is 
 greater than that of the rich. 
 
 113. Sic festinanti.] To one thus eager in 
 the chase of opulence, a richer man is always 
 an obstruction — him therefore he strives to 
 outstrip, as in a chariot-race the driver labours 
 to overtake those who are before him, without 
 regard to those who are in the rear. 
 
 114. Carceribus.'] The starting point. 
 
 119. Cedat.] For decedat. 
 Uti conviva.] Lucret. iii. 951. 
 
 120. Crispini.] A philosopher and poet, 
 branded by Horace for a fool and a prater. 
 Sat. i. 3. 139. 
 
 Lippi.] LipptCs expresses a person whose 
 eyes are in an inflamed state, from whatever 
 cause. The epithet is here plainly discreditable, 
 and to make disease discreditable, the source 
 of it must be so. That source, in this case, 
 appears to be drunkenness, which notoriously 
 produces similar effects. His enemies at- 
 tempted to fasten the term upon Horace, in- 
 vidiously; and though he applies it to himself, 
 it may readily be supposed he does so, as the 
 best mode of shewing his contempt for what 
 was so manifestly libellous. Sat. i. 3. 25 ; i. 
 5. 30, &c.

 SATIRE II. 
 
 The poet ridicules such as, attempting to 
 shun one vice, rush into the opposite. 
 
 1. Ambubaiarum.] Girls from Syria, who 
 flocked to Rome with music, and trafficked 
 their beauties. The name is traced to a Sy- 
 riac root, anbub, a pipe or flute. 
 
 Collegia.] Humorously applied to the 
 bands of these public women. 
 
 Pharmacopolce.] Sellers of drugs — quacks 
 — fellows professing to perform wondrous 
 cures. 
 
 2. Mendici.] Contemptuously — for idle 
 vagabonds, who, as conjurors and fortune- 
 tellers, swarmed in Rome. 
 
 Mima.] The lowest caste of itinerant 
 players. 
 
 Balatrones.] Parasites — lickspittles, &c. 
 Servilius Balatro, a man who, after squander- 
 ing his property, became a hanger-on upon 
 Maecenas, or any body who had a dinner to 
 give, has the credit of lending his name to 
 designate this class of persons. He was one 
 of the Umbra who accompanied Maecenas to 
 Nasidienus's entertainment. Sat. ii. 8. 22. 
 
 3. Cantoris Tigelli.] The singer, con- 
 temptuously. M. Hermogenes Tigellius, a 
 native of Sardinia, and a libertinus, was a 
 musician of celebrity, and a great favourite 
 successively of Caesar, Cleopatra, and Augus- 
 tus. He is said to have spoken of Horace's 
 poetry as deficient in harmony, and thus to 
 have incurred his resentment. Sat. i. 4. 72 ; 
 i. 10. 90. 
 
 4. Quippe be?iigmcs.] He was such a nice,

 NOTES. 
 
 good-natured gentleman — the language of 
 those who shared his prodigalities. 
 
 Contra, <yc] Tigellius lavished his money 
 upon scamps and vagabonds to escape the im- 
 putation of niggardliness. On the other hand, 
 another fearful of being called, like Tigellius, 
 a prodigal, would not give a destitute friend 
 wherewithal to keep off cold and hunger. 
 
 Hie.'] Another — not Tigellius. 
 
 7- Hunc.'] A third — not, again, Tigellius 
 — he was not a man of ancestral property. 
 Tigellius threw away his money upon buf- 
 foons and idlers — this man in splendid dinners, 
 to win the name of a generous and hospitable 
 person. 
 
 Si perconteris.] If you ask him why he 
 thus shamelessly wastes the noble property of 
 his ancestors in ungrateful debauchery — pur- 
 chasing costly dishes with borrowed money — 
 he answers, because he does not like to be 
 thought stingy, and a man of a pitiful spirit. 
 
 8. Ingratd.] I. e. towards his ancestors, 
 from whom he received the property he thus 
 scandalously squanders. Malus has the same 
 reference. 
 
 Stringat.] Strips, as boughs from a tree, 
 till nothing is left. 
 
 9. Conductis.] Obtained of money-lenders, 
 of course at ruinous interest. 
 
 12. Fufidius.] Dreading to have the cha- 
 racter of a Maenius or a Nomentanus (Sat. i. 
 1. 104.) he spends nothing — neither upon 
 himself nor others. 
 
 13. Dives agris, Sfc] Rich in lands and 
 money. 
 
 Positis in foenore.] Employed in loans. 
 
 14. Quinas, <yc] Loans were usually made 
 by the month, and the common rate of interest 
 one per cent., that is, twelve per cent, per 
 annum. Fufidius extorted five, i. e. at the 
 rate of sixty per annum. 
 
 Hie] This fellow— Fundius. 
 
 Capiti.] The principal — the amount of the 
 loan. 
 
 Mercedes.] The interest. 
 
 Exsecat.] Exacts, apparently ; not de- 
 ducts, for that would require desecat. 
 
 15. Quanto, Sfc. ] The more desperate the 
 condition of the borrower — or rather, per- 
 haps, the more wasteful, the more expensive 
 and dissolute his habits, the more exorbitant 
 was Fufidius in his demands. * 
 
 16. Nomina sectatur, <yc] He hunts out 
 young fellows who have just taken the Toga 
 Virilis — who are in want of immediate means 
 for flourishing, and which their parents wisely 
 withhold. 
 
 Modo sumta.] Just assumed — i. e. in the 
 seventeenth year ; but occasionally earlier, 
 through the caprice or vanity of parents. 
 
 Nomina.] His object was to get the names 
 of young heirs in his books. Names stand 
 for debtors, repeatedly — habitually. 
 
 17- Duris.] The tone of the young men, 
 and probably of the usurer. 
 
 Maxime, tyc] Who does not exclaim, as 
 soon as he hears of these enormous exactions, 
 Great Jupiter! — but he spends in proportion 
 to his gains — does not he ? 
 
 18. In se.] Upon himself — upon his en- 
 joyments.

 NOTES. 
 
 37- Audire, #c] It is worth your while — 
 it will repay your labour — you, who have no 
 wish that adulterers should prosper, to hear 
 in what troubles they get involved on every 
 side — how much their pleasures are corrupted 
 by pains — and amidst what perils the unfre- 
 quent pleasure falls. 
 
 Audire, 8fc.~\ Affecting a grave parody of 
 these verses of Ennius : — 
 
 Audire est opera pretium, procedere recti 
 Qui rem Romanam Latiumque augescere vultis. 
 
 41. Hie se, 8fc.~\ One adulterer threw him- 
 self headlong from the roof — to escape the 
 vengeance of the husband. 
 
 Ille, 8fc.~\ Another was with scourges cut 
 to death, or almost to death. The story is 
 told of Sallust the historian, Gell. xvii. 8. from 
 Varro. 
 
 Dedit hie, 8fc.~] Another paid with his purse 
 to save his person — to escape scourging, or 
 the calamity mentioned in line 45. 
 
 42. Fugiens hie, 8$c.~\ Another, in making 
 his escape, fell into the hands of a furious 
 band of robbers. 
 
 44. Calones.'] The followers of a camp, or, 
 strictly, military slaves ; but among domestic 
 slaves, those who were employed in the 
 roughest and coarsest offices, bore, as here, 
 the same name. Sat. i. 6. 103. Ep. i. 14. 
 42. 
 
 46. Jure omnes, 8fc.~\ All agree they were 
 rightly served — they only met with their 
 deserts. 
 
 Galba.~\ Galba, whoever he might be, had, 
 of course, been a sufferer in his intrigues. 
 
 47. Tutior at quanto, #c] But how much 
 safer — exposed to fewer perils — is the article 
 — the commerce, or intercourse with women 
 of the second class. 
 
 48. Libert, dico."] I mean that of the li- 
 bertine. As if the matronce constituted the 
 first class, and the meretrices the third. 
 
 In quas, Sfc] With respect to whom Sal- 
 lustius is as mad as the adulterer. The sense 
 is this : — The intercourse with women of the 
 second class is safer than with married women ; 
 but Sallustius, by the lavish extravagance with 
 which he throws away his money upon them, 
 proves himself as insane as the adulterer — as 
 little guided, that is, by common prudence. 
 
 Sallustius.] Said to be Crispus Sallustius 
 — the nephew of the historian. Od. ii. 2. 
 
 49. At hie si, fyc] But if he wished to be 
 liberal, as far as circumstances might warrant, 
 and as far as a man could be liberal with- 
 out being prodigal, he would give what would 
 satisfy the case, and not what involves ruin 
 and disgrace. 
 
 50. Res.] The state of his funds. 
 Ratio.] The occasion — in reference to the 
 
 transient nature of the connection. Some pro- 
 portion is almost always conveyed by the word. 
 Modeste munifico.] Liberal within the 
 bounds of moderation. 
 
 51. Munifico.] For munificum. Sat. i. 1. If). 
 
 52. Damno.] Ruin of property. 
 
 53. Dedccori.] Ruin of character.

 daughter of the mighty consul — meaning 
 Sylla, the dictator. It is obvious from this 
 line, that Villius was the lover, not the hus- 
 band of Fausta. 
 
 71. Velatumque stola.] Dressed in the 
 matron's long white robe. 
 
 Ira.~\ Ardour of passion — opyr]. 
 
 72. Puella.'] Fausta, Milo's wife. Puella 
 and virgo are frequently used for married 
 women. Od. iii. 14. 10. 
 
 73. At quanto, fyc] But how much better, 
 and the very opposite of these things, does 
 nature advise. 
 
 74. Dives opis, fyc] Who supplies richly the 
 means of enjoyment, if you would only, &c. 
 
 76. Tuo vitio rerumne, fyc] Do you think 
 it a matter of indifference, whether you get 
 into trouble through your own fault, or through 
 that of nature (rerum). Nature is not to 
 blame — the fault is all your own. Liberal 
 as she is, you despise her gifts, and suffer for 
 pursuing what she bids you avoid. 
 
 78. Unde-] From which — the pursuit of 
 other men's wives; or, from whom, the wives, 
 there is more of ill to drain, than of fruit to 
 pluck — from whom you are more likely to 
 incur mischief than advantage. 
 
 79. Ex re.~] From the accomplishment of 
 your wishes. 
 
 80. Nee magis, fyc] Nor to her (the ma- 
 trona), though she be covered with pearls and 
 
 emeralds — i. e. nor has she, for that (hoe), a 
 softer, &c. than yours, Cerinthus, &c. 
 
 81. Cerinthe. J Eminent for the beauty of 
 his person — on the testimony of Tibullus. 
 
 Hoc.~] For ob hoc — on account of her 
 jewels. 
 
 82. Togatce.] The femur aut crus of the 
 togata are often superior. Line 63. 
 
 83. Mercem sine fucis, fyc] She (the to- 
 gata) carries her wares without disguise. Her 
 charms are native — independent of ornament, 
 i. e. she is not covered with jewels, like the 
 matrona. 
 
 84. Nee, si, fyc] Nee must be referred to 
 qucerit, not to jactat habetque, for aperte os- 
 tendere and palam habere mean precisely the 
 same thing. The sense appears to be — nor, 
 though she thus exposes her charms, does she 
 seek (like the matrona) to hide her deformities 
 — a sense, which requires quod honestum for 
 quid honesti ; and honestum occurs in MSS. 
 
 86. Regibus hie mos, fyc] These admirers 
 of women of rank are often the dupe of their 
 own imaginations — they are caught by ex- 
 ternals. Rich men, when they buy horses, 
 manage the matter much better. 
 
 Ubi equos, fyc] When they are buy- 
 ing horses, they examine them covered, 
 lest, if a beautiful figure, as is often the 
 case, stand upon, i. e. accompany, a tender 
 foot, that (the beautiful figure) should

 gull the buyer — eager to purchase, because 
 the head, neck, and hind-quarters are good. 
 
 88. Molli pede.] A tender foot — the worst 
 quality a horse can have. If the mollis pes 
 be taken like Virgil's crura mollia, for a good 
 point— meaning fine flexible legs — then there 
 will be nothing left for inspection — no faults 
 for detection. There is no evidence that the 
 ancients judged of a horse's age by the mouth. 
 Besides, ut scepe would be without its due sig- 
 nificance, on any other supposition than that 
 a good-looking horse has often bad feet. 
 
 89. Quod pulchrce, §c] Compare Virg. 
 Georg. iii. 79, 80. 
 
 90. Hoc illi, <yc] This they, the buyers 
 of horses, do right. Do not you contemplate 
 the beauties of the person with the eyes of 
 Lynceus, and the defects, as if you were 
 blinder than Hypsaea. 
 
 Lyncei.] Son of Aphareus, one the Argo- 
 nauts — a man of so keen and long a sight, 
 that he was said to penetrate to the depths of 
 Orcus. 
 
 91. Hypsced.] Some lady, probably, who 
 was enamoured of an ugly person. 
 
 92. O crus, 8fc.~\ What legs — what arms ! 
 The exclamation of some admirer of women 
 of rank, at the sight of one whom he sees 
 walking, and can judge of her only by the 
 gait and air— because she is closely wrapped 
 up. 
 
 Verum, fyc] But, replies the poet, the 
 lady, about whose legs and arms you are in 
 such ecstacies, has a long nose, a great foot, 
 &c. 
 
 93. Depygis.~\ I. e. anvyog ; or, as in 
 Epod. 8. 5. aridis natibus. 
 
 Nasuta.~\ Has too long a nose. 
 
 Brevi latere.'] Her waist is too short — she 
 
 is defective in figure, by a want of proportion, 
 or symmetry. 
 
 94. Matronce prater, Sfc] You can see no- 
 thing but the face of a matron, muffled up as 
 she is, unless she is a Catia, from head to foot. 
 
 95. Catia.] A lady of rank, recorded for 
 impudently wearing short dresses, to shew 
 her beautiful ancles. 
 
 96. Interdicta petes.] Meaning ladies of 
 rank. 
 
 Interdicta.] I. e. by circumstances — inter- 
 dicted as rigorously as if by the praetor. 
 
 Vallo circumdata.] Again, by circum- 
 stances — enclosed as if by the entrenchments 
 of a camp. 
 
 97- Hoc facit, 8fc] It is this — the diffi- 
 culty of approach, which inflames you. 
 
 Officient.] Will stand in your way, and 
 obstruct the accomplishment of your wishes. 
 
 98. Custodes.] I. e. in effect. Servants, 
 who by their numbers and constant attend- 
 ance, precluded private interviews. Eunuchs 
 and duennas, expressly as custodes, were not 
 yet probably in request, or in fashion. But 
 compare Juven. vi. 235. and 347- 
 
 Lectica.] The palanquin, in which the 
 lady is carried when out of doors, on the 
 shoulders of six or eight men. Cat. x. 16. 
 and 20. 
 
 Ciniflones.] Attendants on the toilette — 
 dressers, and especially for the hair. 
 
 Parasites.] Female friends — assiduous in 
 their attendance for selfish purposes. Like 
 the parasite with the men. 
 
 99. Stola.] The distinguishing dress of the 
 matrona, reaching to her heels. See line 29. 
 
 Palla.] A long and loose mantle which 
 enveloped the whole person — thrown over the 
 stola.

 NOTES. 
 
 120. Illam, Sfc] Philodemus says — in 
 some epigram probably — that that one, mean- 
 ing she who makes difficulties, and says, " I 
 will admit you by and bye, not now" — " you 
 must pay a higher price" — " if my husband 
 goes out, you shall come" — is fitter for the 
 Galli ; but that the other, who neither haggles 
 for a high price, nor delays to come when she 
 is bidden, is for him. 
 
 121. Gallis.'] The priests of Cybele — 
 whose physical condition enables him to bear 
 delay. 
 
 1 23. Candida, #c] Let her— the lady to 
 please me — be fair and tall, and not dressed 
 to seem fairer and taller than nature meant 
 she should — she is Ilia, &c. 
 
 Recta.~\ I. e. erecta. Tall. Compare Ca- 
 tull. x. 20. 
 
 Longa.] Scil. magis — by the aid of high- 
 heeled shoes, and towering head-dresses. 
 
 Munda hactenus, Sfc] Well-dressed, but 
 stopping short of all attemps to appear fairer 
 and taller than she really is. 
 
 124. Magis alba.] Whiter — by the use of 
 paint. 
 
 126. Ilia.] Rhsea Sylvia, the mother of 
 Romulus and Remus. 
 
 Egeria.] Numa's well-known nymph of 
 the grotto. 
 
 129. Vepallida.] Deadly pale. 
 
 130. Conscia.] Scil. furti. The ancilla — 
 the confidante of her mistress's intrigue. 
 
 131. Cruribus hcec, fyc] The ancilla in a 
 fright for her legs — lest they should be con- 
 fined in the stocks — lest she should be sen- 
 tenced to the stocks by her master. 
 
 Doti deprensa.] The detected wife — in a 
 fright for her dowry — forfeited, if convicted 
 of adultery. 
 
 133. Ne nummi, fyc] Compare line 43. 
 
 134. Deprendi, Sfc] It is a miserable 
 business to be detected in adulterous inter- 
 course. That I will prove to the satisfaction 
 even of Fabius — I shall force him to confess. 
 
 Fabio.] Fabius is said to have been a Stoic, 
 and in his books to have maintained the Stoic 
 doctrine, that pain and mortification are no

 NOTES. 
 
 The poet's purpose is to shew that the 
 faults of our friends should be gently handled 
 — chiefly on the ground that our own require 
 a similar indulgence. 
 
 1. Cantor ibiis.~\ The word is applied to 
 both vocal and instrumental performers. Sat. 
 i. 2. 3. 
 
 Hoc vitium, <yc] This is the common fault 
 of musical people. 
 
 2. Nunquam inducant, <§•<?.] When asked, 
 they can never persuade themselves to sing — 
 they always refuse. 
 
 4. Ille, <yc] Emphatically — that Tigellius 
 of Sardinia — as a person whom every body 
 knew. Tigellius was distinguished for his 
 musical powers, his intimacy with Augustus, 
 and bis prodigalities. Sat. i. 2. 3. 
 
 Hoc.~\ This common fault of musical peo- 
 ple. 
 
 Ccesar.~] Octavius Caesar — Augustus. 
 
 Qui cogere posset.~\ Who could compel — 
 i. e. whose rank was such as to make his 
 request a command. 
 
 5. Patris.~\ Julius Caesar, by whom Octa- 
 vius, the son of his niece, was adopted. Ti- 
 gellius had been equally a favourite with 
 Julius Caesar. 
 
 Non quicquam proficeret. ~\ Could not suc- 
 ceed with him. 
 
 6. Ab ovo, #c] From the eggs to the ap- 
 ples — proverbial for — from the beginning to 
 the end of a ccena. 
 
 the first things served, and fruits, it is well 
 known, constituted the sccunda metisa, or des- 
 sert. Cicero, Ep. ad Div. ix. 20. has integrum 
 famem ad ovum affero; and Apuleius calls ova, 
 the ccena: gustulum. 
 
 7- Citaret.~\ Citare is a frequentative of 
 ciere, and of course implies repetition. 
 
 Modo summa, eye] I. e. Modo voce qua re- 
 sonat quatuor chordis summa ; modo hac, <yc. 
 Sometimes with the highest sound of the 
 tetrachord, and sometimes with the lowest. 
 Now high, now low. The terms appropriate 
 to the instrument are applied to the voice. 
 
 Bacche.~\ The short e is lengthened by 
 virtue of the arsis — not common with Horace's 
 contemporaries. 
 
 9. Nil cequale, <yc] In that Tigellius no- 
 thing was steady or uniform. Not only had he 
 the common fault of singers — perverseness — 
 but in every thing he was full of caprice and 
 contradiction. The poet enumerates several 
 instances, and thus paves the way for his 
 main purpose — the toleration of our friends' 
 faults. 
 
 Scepe velut qui, <yc] Often he ran like one 
 who was flying from an enemy — very often 
 he stalked along like the canephori, who bear 
 on their heads the baskets in the processions 
 of Juno. Ut Attica rirgo ; Sat. ii. 8. 13. 
 When enjoining on his son the observance of 
 propriety in walking, Cicero tells him not to 
 pace too slowly, lest pomparum fcrcniis similis 
 videatur. 
 
 12. Tetrarchas.~\ Persons who had the 
 authority, without the name of royalty. Ori-

 16. Huic parco.] To this abstemious per- 
 son — content with the merest necessaries — if 
 you had given, &c. 
 
 17- Nil erat, fyc] In a few days there 
 was nothing left in his coffers. The indica- 
 tive is used to make the assertion more pe- 
 remptory. His profusion appears in Sat. i. 
 2. 1. 
 
 20. Nullane, $c] What then — have you 
 no faults ? 
 
 Immo, 8fc] Oh yes, but not Tigellius's — 
 mine are different, though perhaps not less 
 serious. 
 
 21. Mceuius, <yc] The connection is — I 
 
 am not disposed to censure others, and for- 
 get myself, or reply like Maenius. Sat. i. 1. 
 101. 
 
 Dum carperet, Sfc] "When he was rail- 
 ing against Novius in his absence, some one 
 said — 
 
 22. Ignoras, fyc] Are you unacquainted 
 with your own faults, or do you think to im- 
 pose upon us, as if you were quite unconscious 
 of them ? — or, perhaps, as if we did not know 
 them well ? 
 
 Ignotum.] Maenius — unknown to himself, 
 or to the speaker. The construction is equi- 
 vocal, but the first is probably the poet's 
 meaning. 
 
 23. Egomet, fyc] I am my own confessor, 
 and pronounce my own absolution. 
 
 24. Improbus.] Inordinate — impudent — « 
 said of whatever deserves censure. 
 
 Amor.] Scil. sui. Self-love. 
 Dignusque notari.] What ought to be 
 branded — deserving of reprobation. 
 
 25. Tua.] Scil. vitia. 
 
 Male lippus.] Perversely, or, rather, with 
 the affectation of being lippus. When you 
 view your own faults as if you were lippus, 
 and your eyes covered with colli/rium — per- 
 haps like a tipsy person, who cannot see 
 .clearly. Sat. i. 1. 121. 
 
 Oculis male lippus, fyc] A periphrasis for 
 blindly. 
 
 Inunctis.] Scil. with coll/jrium. Sat. i.

 quare inpeccatis amicorum aded

 quidam aiunt : Ad iram Me 
 paululum est pronior : parum 
 idoneus acutis naribus istorum 
 hominum : illudi potest quod

 sed mens magna tegitur eo cor-

 Uno verbo temet examina :

 ingeneraverit, vel prava consue-

 NOTES. 
 
 26. Acutum.'] For acute. 
 
 27. Aquila.~\ Like the lynx, proverbially 
 sharp-sighted. 
 
 Serpens.] Like the eagle and lynx ; and 
 for that reason often represented in mytho- 
 logy as the guardians of treasures. 
 
 Epidaurius.'] Either on account of Epi- 
 daurus (in Argolis) abounding in snakes, or 
 of the tame serpents sacred to the tutelary 
 deity of the place, iEsculapius, who was wor- 
 shipped under the form of a serpent — and 
 subsequently so at Rome. 
 
 28. Inquirant, fyc.~] And they whose faults 
 you scan so closely, will scan yours in their 
 turn. 
 
 29. Iracundior, fyc] If a friend is a little 
 hasty — apt to fall into a passion — to the sharp 
 noses of these gentlemen he seems not fit for 
 friendship. 
 
 30. Horum horn.'] Of these gentlemen, who 
 can see every body's faults but their own. 
 
 Rideri possit eo, fyc] Or he seems to you 
 (one of horum hominum) a subject for ridi- 
 cule, because his hair is ill- cut, or his toga 
 hangs slovenly, or his shoes — sandals rather 
 — do not fit, &c. 
 
 31. Rusticius.'] Construable with tonso — 
 not defluit. 
 
 Tonso.] Dative. With his hair cut rudely 
 — rustically — not according to the fashion of 
 town. In town the hair was cut with great 
 care and precision ; in the country less atten- 
 tion of course was paid to appearances — hence 
 rusticius. 
 
 Defluit.] Hangs loosely — trails on the 
 ground — not worn gracefully. 
 
 Male.] Must be construed with haret — 
 not with laxus. The sandal fits ill — does not 
 sit close, because too large and loose. 
 
 32. At, 8fc] But to compensate for all 
 these sad defects, there is not a better man in 
 the world — he is your friend too — and under 
 that rough exterior lurk great talents. 
 
 34. Inculto.] Careless about his dress. 
 
 Denique te ipsum, fyc] Give yourself a 
 thorough shaking — sift your own qualities, 
 and see whether nature ab origine, or evil 
 habits subsequently, have not generated some 
 faults in yourself. 
 
 37. Neglectis, fyc] For in neglected fields 
 springs up the worthless fern — so in the best 
 natures, unless cultivated by philosophy, vices 
 shoot. 
 
 Urenda.] Good for nothing but to be burnt. 
 
 38.' Illuc prcevertamur, 8fc] But let us 
 dismiss such matters ; or rather, before we go 
 farther in that direction, let us turn our atten- 
 tion to this point — that the vilest defects of a 
 mistress cheat the blind adorer, or even are 
 the very things which charm him — as Hagna's 
 polypus does Balbinus. Lucret. xi. 1154. 
 Ovid, Art. Am. ii. 657- 
 
 40. Polypus.] This disease — a tumour in 
 the nose — Celsus describes, vi. 8. 2. — Ep. 
 12. 4. 
 
 Hagnce.] "Ayvng— a Greek libertiua. 
 
 41. Vellem in am. §c.] I wish we made 
 the same mistakes with respect to our friends,

 and that the professors of wisdom would as- 
 sign an honourable name to the blunder. 
 
 43. At pater, <yc] But indeed as a father 
 does not spurn, nor quarrel with the defects 
 of his child, so ought not we with the faults 
 of a friend. 
 
 44. Strabonem.'] His squinting child a fa- 
 ther calls a Pcetus. E short before str. See 
 Sat. i. 1. 20. 
 
 45. Male parvus.] If a child is stunted in 
 his growth — like a dwarf — as was Sisyphus 
 some time ago, the father calls him a Pullus. 
 
 47- Sisyphus.] Marc Antony, the trium- 
 vir, had a child of very diminutive dimen- 
 sions, whom, for his shrewdness, he used to 
 call Sisyphus. 
 
 Hunc, Sfc] A child with distorted legs, or 
 knock-kneed, his father called a Varus ; and 
 another with a club-foot, a Scaurus. 
 
 48. Balbutit.] I. e. gives him the fond 
 and flattering epithet, &c. The Pceti, Pulli, 
 Pari, Scauri, were the names of distinguished 
 families in Rome, derived originally from 
 some corresponding defects in some members 
 of the family. 
 
 49. Parcius Iiic vivit.] Such an one lives 
 a little too close — he should be called then a 
 good manager — a man who looks carefully 
 after his affairs. 
 
 Ineptus, Sfc] Another is a bit of a cox- 
 comb, and babbles too much — he should be 
 thought, as he wishes to be, a person whose 
 object is to make himself agreeable to his 
 friends — he only mistakes the means, or is 
 unable to make use of them. 
 
 Ineptus.] Cicero describes the person en- 
 titled to this epithet, De Orat. ii. 17- 
 
 51. At est truculentior, §c] But another 
 is too blunt or rough, and free-spoken — he 
 should be regarded as frank and brave — iree 
 from all duplicity, and too honourable to con- 
 ceal his sentiments. 
 
 53. Caldior.] For calidior. If he is of too 
 warm a temper, he should be classed with the 
 spirited, or ardent. 
 
 54. Hcec res, §c] This would be the way 
 to unite friends, and keep them united. 
 
 55. At nos, <yc,] But we — not only do we 
 make bad worse, but we make good bad — we 
 convert the very virtues into vices, and treat 
 the sound vessel as if it were a cracked one. 
 
 56. Incrustare.] To spread adhesive mat- 
 ter on the seams of a cracked vessel, to keep 
 it together. 
 
 Probus quis, Sfc] Lives there among us a 
 good honest man — a man of retired habits, 
 shrinking from the conflicts of ambition — to 
 him we give the name of idler and blockhead. 
 Both epithets refer to demissus. Tardus pro 
 considerato. Livy xxii. 39. 
 
 Probus — demissus.] Cicero couples these 
 terms — eaque omnia, qua proborum, demisso- 
 rum, non acrium, non pertinacium, non acer- 
 borum sunt, valde bcnevole/itiam conciliant. 
 De Orat. ii. 43. 
 
 58. Hie fugit, Sfc] Another eludes all 
 tricks and treacheries, and lays himself open 
 to no attacks — leaves no point exposed to 
 assault — instead of calling such a person — 
 living, as we do, in an age when envy and

 et nemini improbo expositum 
 latus prsebet, quandoquidem 
 conversetur cum iis hominibus, 
 apud quos regnant vehemens 
 invidia et criminationes : hunc 
 non prudentem et cautum, sed 
 versipellem et malitiosum dici- 
 mus. Si quis apertior (qualem 
 non raro tibi me sponte exhi- 
 bui, 6 Maecenas) ut lectioni va- 
 cantem vel cogitabundum casu 
 interpellet quacunque allocu- 
 tione importunus; dicimus, sen- 
 su communi omnino est Me des- 
 ti tutus. Eheu quam injustam 
 conditionem nobis statuimus 
 imprudenter ! nullus enim sine 
 vitiis nascitur : atque is qui le- 
 vioribus premitur perfectissi- 
 mus habetur. Benignus ami- 
 cus, ut par est, meas virtutes 
 cum vitiis comparans : in illas 
 majores (si quidem majores ha- 
 beo virtutes quam vitia) pro- 
 pendeat, si diligi cupiat : ac 
 pari conditione in eadem libra 
 ponderabitur. Quisquis vult 
 amicum non laedere suis tu- 
 beribus, parcat ejus verrucis. 
 Justum est, ut qui postulat in- 
 dulgentiam suis delictis, is pa- 
 rem referat. Denique quoniam 
 omnino resecari vitium iracun- 
 diae, aliaque stultis inhaerentia 
 minime possunt ; quare non 
 
 Insidias, nullique malo latus obdit apertum ; 
 Quum genus hoc inter vitse versetur, ubi 
 
 acris 60 
 
 Invidia atque vigent ubi crimina; pro bene 
 
 sano 
 Ac non incauto, fictum astutumque vocamus. 
 Simplicior quis et est, qualem me ssepe libenter 
 Obtulerim tibi, Maecenas, ut forte legentem 
 Aut taciturn impellat quovis sermone moles- 
 
 tus ; 65 
 
 Communi sensu plane caret, inquimus. Eheu ! 
 Quam temere in nosmet legem sancimus ini-

 Nam vitiis nemo sine nascitur ; optimus ille

 Qui minimis urgetur. Amicus dulcis, ut a>

 Quum mea compenset vitiis bona, pluribus

 Si modo plura mihi bona sunt, inclinet. Arnari 
 Si volet hac lege, in trutina ponetur eadem. 
 Qui, ne tuberibus propriis offendat amicum, 
 Postulat, ignoscet verrucis illius : sequum est, 
 Peccatis veniam poscentem reddere rursus. 75 
 Denique, quatenus excidi penitus vitium irae, 
 Cetera item nequeunt stultis haerentia, cur non 
 
 NOTES. 
 
 calumny are in full vigour — a sensible and 
 careful man, we give him the name of a false 
 and crafty fellow. 
 
 60. Genus hoc inter, <yc] In the present 
 state of society. 
 
 63. Simplicior, fyc] If any one be a little 
 too unceremonious — unobservant of circum- 
 stances, like myself, who have often, volun- 
 tarily, i. e. unsummoned, broken in upon you 
 — so that he troublesomely, with any kind of 
 gossip, interrupts a person when reading, or in 
 silent meditation — we exclaim, the man has 
 not even common sense ! 
 
 Simplicior.'] A man who disregards little 
 matters of etiquette, which others studiously 
 observe, to win the favour of the great — too 
 frank or too heedless to be very observant of 
 times and circumstances. 
 
 64. Mcecenas.] The poet thus dextrously 
 makes Maecenas bear testimony to his frank 
 and independent conduct. 
 
 67. Quam temere, fyc.~\ How thoughtlessly 
 do we thus sanction severe laws against our- 
 selves ! — If we judge others harshly, we must 
 expect they will exercise the same severity 
 towards ourselves. 
 
 69. Qui minimis urgetur.] The best man 
 is he who has the fewest or smallest faults. 
 
 Amicus dulcis, <yc] The syntax of the sen- 
 tence requires cum (quum) to be taken as aeon- 
 junction, as there is nothing else to couple com- 
 penset and inclinet. A kind — a real friend, 
 whilst, as is just, he balances my good quali- 
 ties with my bad ones, should incline to my 
 outnumbering good qualities, provided they 
 do outnumber — i. e. should let me have the 
 full benefit of them in his estimate of me. 
 
 71. Amari.~\ The sense demands amare. 
 If he will love me on these terms, he shall be 
 weighed in the same balance — shall be loved 
 on the same terms. 
 
 76. Denique, Sfc.~] In short, as the fault of 
 anger cannot be utterly extirpated. 
 
 77- Cetera item, 8fc.~\ Sdh vitia. And other 
 faults which cleave to fools — using here, in 
 mockery, the language of the Stoics, who called 
 all/00/5 and madmen who could not practice the 
 doctrines which they (the Stoics) preached. 
 
 Cur non, <yc] Why does not reason — the 
 judgment, as especially occupied with propor- 
 tions — use her own weights and measures ; 
 and, according as is each offence, (res), so 
 
 punish the delinquency 
 
 ipportion pe- 
 
 Ities to injuries — severe penalties for great 
 offences, and lighter ones for less.

 78. Suis.] Her own — such as it becomes 
 her to use — such as are defined by her laws. 
 
 80. Si quis, Sfc] If any man should cru- 
 cify that slave of his, who, when bidden to 
 remove from the table a dish, should lick up 
 the half-eaten fish and warm sauce, could he 
 — madder than Labeo as he plainly would 
 be — be reckoned among the sane ? Or — with- 
 out the interrogation — he would, among sane 
 people, be said to be madder than Labeo. 
 
 82. Labeone.~] According to one of the 
 Scholiasts, this M. Antistius Labeo — a man of 
 praetorian rank, was said to have libelled Au- 
 gustus, and for that reason to have been thus 
 stigmatised by the adulatory poet. Suet. Oct. 54. 
 
 83. Quanto hoc furiosius, <yc] Frantic as 
 is the act of the man who should crucify his 
 slave for licking the dishes, how much more 
 so is the act of him who renounces his friend 
 for trifles ? 
 
 Hoc.~\ This may be an ablative, referring 
 to the mad act of the slave's master ; or a no- 
 minative, applying to the act of the man who 
 renounces his friend. It is the acts of these 
 two persons which are compared — not the 
 faults of the slave, and of the discarded friend 
 — still less the faults of the slave and the dis- 
 carding friend. 
 
 84. Paullum deliquit am.'] Your friend has 
 done some small matter to offend you, and 
 you hate him, and shun him, &c. 
 
 85. Quod, 8fc.~\ An offence so insignifi- 
 cant, that if you do not excuse it, you must be 
 regarded as a most implacable person. 
 
 86. Odisti.] Scil. eum. 
 
 Rusonem.] Some well-known money-dealer, 
 whose severity on the day of payment — of 
 principal or interest — the debtors could only 
 
 soften by affecting to listen to his long-winded 
 stories. 
 
 87. Tristes.] The calends or ides of the 
 month — days on which interest was payable, 
 and loans returnable — sad days for the un- 
 prepared debtor. Epod. 2. 69. 
 
 88. Mercedem aut num.] Interest or prin- 
 cipal. 
 
 Amaras.] Bitter to the unwilling auditor. 
 
 89. Historias.] Supposed to have been 
 grave political history, written by Ruso ; but 
 more probably long-winded stories which he 
 was fond of retailing, and glad to command a 
 listener. Od. iii. 7- 20. After all, perhaps, 
 nothing more is meant than his threats of 
 enforcing his claims, and lectures on the 
 wrongs he was suffering from delay of pay- 
 ment. The not being prepared was ground 
 enough for the debtor not liking to face his 
 creditor. 
 
 Porrecto jugulo.] With outstretched neck 
 — resignedly — without excuse ; like a captive 
 awaiting execution. 
 
 Audit.] Listens — an unwilling auditor. 
 
 90. Ledum.] The triclinary seat — the 
 table-couch. 
 
 Potus.] When tipsy. 
 
 Catillum.] Valued by you on account of 
 the celebrity of the artist; or for its antiquity, 
 and the memory of the original possessor. 
 
 91. Evand. man. tritum.] I. e. either carved 
 by the hands of Evander, a distinguished artist 
 of the day ; or, which seems more probable, 
 rubbed by the hands, i. e. used by the old 
 Arcadian — a relic which once belonged to 
 him. /En. viii. 
 
 Ob banc rem.] For this, i. e. for either of 
 the trifling offences just enumerated.

 entrusted to his honour — or denied his bail — 
 i. e. denied that he had given security for a 
 friend — renounced his responsibility. 
 
 96. Quis.] The Stoics, who professed to 
 regard all offences in the same light, and de- 
 serving of the same punishment. 
 
 Laborant, fyc] Are gravelled, when an 
 appeal is made to specific facts. 
 
 Fere.] Must be coupled with laborant — 
 not with placuit; for the principles of the 
 Stoics were absolute. They were puzzled to 
 justify in particular cases — such as the poet 
 suggests. 
 
 97- Sensus.] The common instincts of 
 nature revolt against the doctrine. Sensus 
 enim cujusque, et natura rerum, atque ipsa uti- 
 litas clamat quodammodo, non posse adduci, ut 
 inter eas res, quas Zeno exequaret, nihil inter- 
 esset. Cic. de Fin. iv. 19. 
 
 Mores.] The habits of society — the daily 
 practice of life, which distinguish between 
 great and small offences. 
 
 98. Atque utilitas, $c] According to the 
 principles of the Epicureans, who made ge- 
 neral utility the basis of justice. 
 
 99. Quum prorepserunt.] This account of 
 the origin and progress of society is in accord- 
 
 ance with the sentiments of the Epicureans. 
 Lucret. v. 933. 
 
 Primis terris.] When men were first cre- 
 ated. 
 
 Animalia.] Men. 
 
 100. Mutum et turpe, §c] Who, like cattle, 
 had not learned to speak, and like them also 
 lived, without cultivation, on the spontaneous 
 fruits of the earth. 
 
 Glandem, §c] Lucret. v. 937- 
 
 101. Pugnis.] With their fists — from 
 pugnus. 
 
 102. Armis, Sfc] With their nails and 
 fists, then with clubs, and next with weapons, 
 which necessity, or rather the occasion for 
 further force, had invented, &c. 
 
 103. Donee verba, fyc] Till they con- 
 trived words and names to give meaning to 
 their voices, and expression to their feelings. 
 
 105. Ponere leges, fyc] To institute laws 
 against robbery, adultery, &c. 
 
 107- Nam.] Nam refers to neu quis adulter. 
 
 Ante Helenam, Sfc] Before the days of 
 Helen, woman was the most fatal source of 
 war. 
 
 108. Mortibus ignotis.] Unknown, because 
 their names have not been handed down by 
 poets. 
 
 Illi quos, Sfc] But those ravishers, who, 
 before Helen's time, seized their vagrant 
 Venuses, the stronger slew, as the bull does 
 his rivals in the herd. 
 
 109. Venerem incertam.] Not bound by

 legal or matrimonial ties ; and hence is added 
 more ferarum. 
 
 110. Ut in grege . ] The stronger bull kills 
 the other bulls in the herd. 
 
 111. Jura inventa, Sfc] If you turn over 
 the history of the world, you must acknow- 
 ledge, that laws were invented from the fear 
 of injustice. Laws had their source in the 
 violence of men — they were indispensable to 
 protect man from his fellows. 
 
 112. Fastos.] The records or registers of 
 events — strictly, fasti is applicable to Roman 
 affairs only. 
 
 Evolvere.] The writings of old being in 
 rolls. 
 
 113. Nee natura, 8fc.~\ Neither can nature 
 separate the just from the unjust, as she 
 divides the good from the contrary, and the 
 shunable from the desirable ; nor will the 
 (ratio) arguments or authority of the Stoics 
 establish this point — that the man who steals 
 young cabbages from a neighbour's garden, 
 and he who plunders the temples, commits 
 crimes of equal atrocity — that all offences are 
 equal. 
 
 Natura."] Meaning original and uninformed 
 instincts do not distinguish the just from 
 the unjust — no! experience does this — it is a 
 matter to be gathered from the effects and 
 tendencies of things. Our senses tell us at 
 once what is agreeable, or the reverse, &c. 
 
 1 16. Fregerit.'] Broken off from the stem, 
 and carried away. 
 
 117- Legerit.] Collects and carries off in 
 the night the sacred images of the Gods, and 
 the valuable utensils of public worship. 
 
 Adsit regulaj Sfc] The connection. As 
 nature does not discriminate and define the 
 just and unjust; and philosophy cannot con- 
 
 vince us that all offences are equally criminal — ■ 
 therefore let there be laws to impose penalties 
 proportioned to offences — and do not scourge 
 with the horrible flagellum the man who de- 
 serves only the scutica or ferula. Flagellum, 
 scutica, ferula. — The specific differences of 
 these instruments are not defineable — but the 
 flagellum is the severest, and the ferula the 
 lightest. 
 
 120. Nam, fyc] For I have no fears that 
 you would scourge with the ferula the man 
 who deserves to be lashed with the flagellum. 
 
 Ut — non vereor.] Instead of ut, by the ge- 
 neral usage, ne would follow non vereor. The 
 ut is probably a colloquialism. 
 
 121. Quum, S$c] Since you pronounce 
 pilferings to be as bad as murders and high- 
 way robberies — and threaten you would cut 
 down with the same scythe all offences, great 
 and small, if you were a king. 
 
 Pares res.] Instead oiparia, in agreement 
 with furta. 
 
 122. Magnis parva.] Instead of magna et 
 parva. Though strictly only qualifying falce, 
 simili is here made to govern magnis. You 
 will cut down the small with the same scythe 
 as that with which you cut the great. 
 
 123. Si tibi regnum permittant.] The phrase 
 is selected with reference to the silly paradox 
 of the Stoics. If they would give you so- 
 vereign power ! — why do you wish for what 
 you have ? The Stoic is a king. 
 
 124. Si dives, Sfc] If the wise man — ac- 
 cording to the doctrine and language of the 
 Stoics, is a rich man, a good cobbler, the only 
 handsome man and a king too — why do you 
 wish for what you have — i. e. sovereign power 
 to punish all offences equally.

 NOTES. 
 
 126. Non nosti, fyc] You do not under- 
 stand, — says the Stoic in reply, what our 
 father, Chrysippus, means. 
 
 127- Chrysippus.] One of the fathers of 
 the Stoic philosophy — nourishing in the third 
 century, B. C. Sat. ii. 3. 44. Chrysippus 
 was the first to illustrate thus absurdly the 
 principles of Zeno, who, in the spirit of So- 
 lomon, had taught that wisdom was better than 
 rubies. 
 
 Sapiens, fyc."] Though the philosopher never 
 made his own crepidce or solece, he is still a 
 sutor. The writer has Alfenus already in 
 mind. 
 
 Crepidas — soleas.~\ The difference is not 
 known with any precison — both were sandals; 
 and both made by the sutor, as well as the 
 calceus. 
 
 128. Qui?] How. 
 
 129. Ut, quamvis, fyc] Just as Hermo- 
 genes Tigellius, though not actually singing or 
 playing, is the best musician still. 
 
 130. Ut Alfenus, <^c] Just as Alfenus, 
 after he had thrown every tool of his trade 
 away, and shut up his shop, was a sutor still. 
 
 Alfenus.] Alfenus Varus, a man who, 
 though originally a shoemaker and following 
 his trade at Cremona, became, under the in- 
 structions of Sulpicius, an eminent lawyer at 
 Rome — attained to the consulate, and at his 
 death was honoured with a public funeral. 
 
 Vafer.'] As a lawyer — dextrously and cun- 
 
 9 
 
 ningly turning every thing to the advantage 
 of his client. Sat. ii. 2 131. 
 
 133. Vellunt, Sfc] Yet the saucy boys in 
 the streets — so little reverence does your 
 kingship ensure — pluck your beard for you ; 
 and unless you keep them (quos) off with 
 your stick, you get hustled by a crowd of 
 them round you, and impotently burst with 
 rage, &c. 
 
 Vellunt tibi barbam.] Tbv TTtoyojva riWtiv 
 Tivi — proverbial for ignominious treatment. 
 
 Barbam.] The would-be philosophers — 
 the babblers of Stoic paradoxes — the subjects 
 of Horace's mockery, cultivated their beards 
 with great assiduity. 
 
 136. Rumperis.] Scil. ird. Virg. Eel. vi.

 SATIRE IV. 
 
 Nettled at the libellous construction put 
 upon his Satires, the poet explains the motives 
 which prompted him to write, and appeals to 
 the candour of his friends for a more equitable 
 judgment. 
 
 1. Eupolis, fyc.} Poets of the old comedy. 
 They were all three cotemporaries in the 
 latter part of the fifth century, B. C. Persius 
 names the same three, as the chiefs of the 
 school, i. 123 ; and Quintilian also, x. 1. 
 Eupolis was a favourite with Horace, Sat. ii. 
 3. 12. Cratinus he represents, Ep. i. 19. 2. 
 as one who denounced the verses of water- 
 drinkers. The works of both of them are 
 wholly lost ; while eleven pieces of Aristo- 
 phanes have survived — to justify the eulogia 
 of the admirers of the school. 
 
 2. Comcedia.'} The old critics trace three 
 stages in the history of the comic drama — the 
 old — the middle — and the new. In the first 
 not only known characters, but their names 
 were introduced; in the second, the characters 
 were disguised by assumed names ; and in the 
 third, personality was wholly excluded. 
 
 Alii, quorum, fyc.} And other writers of 
 the old comedy. Sat. i. 10. 10. 
 
 3. Si quis, fyc.} If any body deserved to 
 be shewn up for being a scoundrel, or thief, 
 or because he was an adulterer, or a cut- 
 throat, or infamous in any other way, they 
 branded him without ceremony or reserve — in 
 perfect freedom, unfettered by any libel-law. 
 
 G. Hinc omnis, fyc.} On this Lucilius wholly 
 depends. His merit consists wholly in the 
 
 freedom and fearlessness with which he lashed 
 the vices of the town. 
 
 Hosce secutus.~\ Imitating these writers of 
 the old comedy in every thing but their ver- 
 sification. 
 
 Lucilius.~\ A native of Aurunca, a town of 
 Latium, and the first writer of Roman satire 
 in a systematic form. Died 650 U. C. Pers. 
 i. 114. Juv. i. 165. 
 
 7. Pedibus.} Lucilius wrote in hexameter 
 verse — the old comic writers in iambics chiefly. 
 
 Xumerisque.} The rhythm of the verse — 
 the contexture of accented syllables, upon 
 which the flow and music of verse mainly 
 depend. 
 
 Mutatis.} Hinting, apparently, at a change 
 for the worse. There is an equivoque in the 
 word. Compare Sat. ii. 2. 58. 
 
 Facetus.} With wit and humour. 
 
 8. EmunctcB naris.} "With a clean nose, 
 and therefore of a clear scent — an acute and 
 shrewd fellow, opposed to naris obesce. Epod. 
 12.3. 
 
 Durus componere.} A rough hand at making 
 verses — whose versification was unlicked. 
 
 9. Nam fuit hoc, fyc.} For in this respect 
 — his haste and carelessness — he was bad. 
 
 In hord scepe, fyc.} Often would he make 
 two hundred lines in an hour — as if it had 
 been a fine achievement. 
 
 10. Dictabat.} He would dictate — or make. 
 The imperfect expressing the habit or fre- 
 quency of the act. 
 
 11. Quum flueret hit. fyc.} When he flowed 
 or rolled along turbidly, like a flooding stream, 
 — there was what you would like to remove —

 NOTES. 
 
 the bad, that is, which was mixed with the 
 good — precisely that which mudded the 
 stream. Sat. i. 10. 50. 
 
 12. Garrulus.~] Full of words — not terse 
 and close in thought or expression. 
 
 Piger, fyc] Too idle to bear the labour of 
 writing correctly. Greek for inferendo labor e 
 — like durus componere versus, line 8. 
 
 Laborem.] The pains required for correct- 
 ness and effect. 
 
 13. Nam ut multum.] For as to the great 
 quantity which he could write, or any body 
 else can — I care nothing. This is the kind 
 of merit on which Crispinus plumes himseif. 
 
 14. Crispinus min. fyc] Crispinus challenges 
 me to make verses with him against time — he 
 proposes to decide by a bet, and give me the 
 odds. In the absence of analogous phrases 
 the rationale of minimo provocat has never 
 been satisfactorily assigned, though the sense 
 is perhaps scarcely susceptible of doubt. 
 
 Accipe, fyc] Take your tablets, and I will 
 take mine, &c. Crispinus speaks. Sat. i. 1. 
 120. 
 
 16. Custodes.'] To see that all is fair — 
 that the verses are made on the spot, &c. 
 
 17- Di bene fecerunt, fyc] I thank the 
 Gods for making me, &c. 
 
 Quodque.] The que couples inopis and pusilli. 
 
 Inopis.] With no mental riches producible 
 on demand. 
 
 Pusilli.] Nor much disposed to produce 
 what is in my power — without ambition or 
 ostentation. 
 
 18. Raro, fyc] Inclined to speak but 
 rarely, and then in few words. 
 
 19. At tu conclusas, fyc] But do you — 
 by all means — imitate, as you plainly wish, 
 the wind of the smith's bellows, blowing till 
 the fire melts the iron. 
 
 Hircinis follibus.] Bellows made of goat- 
 skin. 
 
 21. Beatus, fyc] Horace cannot compete 
 with Crispinus, nor like the happy Fannius, 
 has he people to puff him. 
 
 Fannius.] Fannius Quadratus, according 
 to the Scholiast, a miserable poet, but a man 
 of property, with no family. His friends, to 
 curry favour — in chace of a legacy — deposited 
 a copy of his works and his bust in the public 
 libraries. Sat. i. 10. 80. 
 
 Ultrof] Fannius is delighted with the 
 honour, though obtained solely through the 
 manoeuvres of his interested friends. 
 
 22. Capsis.] The case, or portefeuille, 
 enclosing the copy of Fannius's writings. 
 
 Delatis.] Taken to and deposited, either 
 in the Palatine library, built by Augustus, 
 726 U. C. ; or if, as is probable, the satire was 
 written before that date, perhaps in the one 
 built by Asinius Pollio, from the spoils of the 
 Dalmatian triumph. Pliny vii. 31. For the 
 practice of exhibiting busts in the public 
 libraries, see Pliny H. N. lii. 2. 
 
 Imagine.] Bust. 
 
 Quum, fyc] Fannius finds friends to place 
 his poems, &c. in the public libraries, while 
 nobody reads my verses. 
 
 Mea scripta, fyc] Instead of scripta met 
 timentis, &c. 
 
 23. Timentis, fyc] And I am afraid to 
 recite them in public. 
 
 Ob hanc rem.] On this account, because 
 there are some who do not at all like — i. e. 
 who have a great dislike to this kind of 
 writing. 
 
 24. Utpote plures.] That is, the many 
 who deserve to be told of their faults. 
 
 Genus hoc] Scil. scribendi. These sa- 
 tires.

 NOTES. 
 
 25. Quemvis, fyc] To confirm the asser- 
 tion that such persons are numerous, the poet 
 adds — choose any one you like out of the 
 crowd — take the first man you meet with, 
 &c. 
 
 26. Aut ab avaritia, fyc] He is tormented 
 with avarice or ambition. 
 
 Miserd.~\ The miserable pursuit of some- 
 thing which he cannot obtain, or which, if he 
 obtains, he has not the spirit to make use of. 
 Misera will apply to both avaritia and am- 
 bitio. 
 
 28. Hunc capit, fyc] One has a passion 
 for plate — silver articles or pieces of antique 
 workmanship. 
 
 Albius are.] Albius is as much infatuated 
 with bronze pieces — both collectors. Ep. i. 
 6. 17. Od. iv. 8. 2. 
 
 29. Hie, fyc] The merchant will, for gain, 
 go from east to west. Merchants, among 
 the Romans, in their traffic with foreign na- 
 tions, were their own supercargoes, and hence 
 by Horace are often called navitce. Sat. i. 
 1.29. 
 
 Ad eum.'] Scil. solem. From the rising 
 sun to that sun with which the western re- 
 gions glow — from east to west. 
 
 30. Quin per mala, Sfc] Nay, through 
 any perils headlong he rushes, as the dust 
 swept by the whirlwind. 
 
 32. Metuens, 8fc] In dread lest he should 
 lose aught of his capital, or not augment it. 
 Ep. i. 1. 45. 
 
 Summd deperdat.'] As if de summd perdat. 
 
 34. Foenum habet, fyc] That is, a satirist 
 — a wild bull. He has hay upon his horn — 
 get out of his way. The exclamation of such 
 as dread the severity of satirists. Mischievous 
 cattle, it may be inferred, had hay bound 
 upon their horns, to put people on their 
 guard. 
 
 Dummodo.] If he can but find food for 
 laughter, he will not spare even a friend. 
 
 35. Sibi.] For his own diversion. 
 
 36. Et quodcunque, fyc] And whatever he 
 has once scrawled on his papers, he will 
 desire — he will not be easy till all the old 
 women and children of the town are ac- 
 quainted with it. 
 
 37. A furno.] From the baker's — from 
 the public ovens. 
 
 Lacu.] One of the tanks or reservoirs 
 filled by the aqueducts. The lacus Servilius 
 is mentioned by Cic. Ros. Am. 32. 
 
 38. Agedum.] Come, come, listen to a 
 few words in reply — you who have such a 
 horror of poets. 
 
 39. Primum ego, fyc] In the first place, 
 I should take myself out of the number of 
 those whom I allowed to be poets. I should 
 not call myself a poet at all — for writing these 
 satires. 
 
 Poetis.] Gr. for poetas. Sat. i. 1. 19. 
 
 40. Neque enim, fyc] For neither would 
 you say that packing or stringing verses was 
 sufficient to constitute a poet.

 NOTES. 
 
 56 
 
 43. Ingenium cui, fyc.~] You would give 
 the honour of that name to the man, and to 
 him only, who has genius, &c. 
 
 Ingenium.'] An aptitude resulting from 
 original formation. 
 
 Mens divinior.] Susceptible of divine con- 
 ceptions — a reach of thought so much beyond 
 the common powers of humanity, as to be 
 thought to approach the divine. 
 
 Os magna sonaturum.] A tongue to frame 
 expressions equal to the magnitude and ele- 
 vation of his conceptions. 
 
 45. Idcirco.] On this account — because 
 such are the qualities and characteristics of 
 the true poet. 
 
 Quidam comoedia, fyc] Some have made 
 it a question — some have doubted whether a 
 comedy was a poem or not, because, &c. 
 Consult Cic. Orat. 20. for precisely the 
 same sentiments. 
 
 46. Acer spiritus, 8fc] The fiery and 
 forcible expression of passion — neither in the 
 language nor the subjects is there energy or 
 force. 
 
 47. Nisi quod pede, fyc] Except that it 
 differs from the tone of conversation by me- 
 trical structure, it is the common style of 
 conversation. Apud quos, (the comic poets) 
 nisi quod versiculi sunt, nihil est aliud quoti- 
 diani dissimile sermonis. Cic. Orat. 20. 
 
 48. At pater, 8fc] But — says some one, 
 objecting to the doctrine of Horace — the 
 father (alluding to Menedemus in Terence's 
 Heautont.) rages with passion and fervour 
 enough, when his dissolute son, infatuated 
 
 with a harlot mistress, refuses a wife with a 
 splendid dowry, &c. 
 
 51. Magnum quod dedecus, Sfc] A most 
 scandalous act — rioting in the streets with 
 torches before dark — i exhibiting thus these 
 drunken scenes before the eyes of their fellow 
 citizens. 
 
 52. Numquid, tyc] Well, but would Pom- 
 ponius (of course, some profligate youth well 
 known) would he, if his father had been 
 alive, hear milder reproaches from him ? 
 
 53. Ergo, 8fc] Therefore the natural ex- 
 pressions of passion Upon ordinary, familiar, 
 or domestic occasions, will not constitute 
 poetry. It is not enough to write verses in 
 plain terms, without ornament, elegance, or 
 selection. 
 
 54. Pur is verbis.] Words employed on 
 common occasions — plain, direct terms. 
 
 55. Quem si, Sfc] A verse, which if you 
 break i. e. loosen from the restrictions of metre 
 — any father might rave in the same way as 
 the one in the comedy — might use the same 
 terms. 
 
 56. Personatus.] The father, who is intro- 
 duced in Terence's comedy— 1 the character 
 represented. 
 
 His, ego, Sfc] From these lines which I 
 am now writing — or from those which Lu- 
 cilius wrote — if you should take away the 
 metre, and change the order of the words, 
 you would not find the limbs of the scattered 
 poet — as you would if you broke up the lines 
 which follow of Ennius.

 NOTES. 
 
 58. Tempora modosque.] Precisely the 
 pedes mtmerique of line 7- The tempora 
 are the feet consisting of long or short syl- 
 lables, or times; and the modi are here the 
 numeri — the measure or melody which a 
 change in the collocation of the words would 
 destroy. 
 
 60. Postquam, &c] When dire discord 
 broke down the barred -up gates of war. 
 Here, though scattered, you would still find 
 the limbs of the poet. It is poetry indepen- 
 dently of the metre. 
 
 61. Belli ferratos postes.~] Virgil borrowed 
 the phrase. JEn. vii. 621. 
 
 62. Disjecti membra.'] Alluding to the 
 limbs of Absyrtus scattered by Medea. 
 
 63. Hactenus, Sfc] So much for this. On 
 some other occasion I will inquire whether a 
 comedy be a genuine poem or not — entitled 
 at all points to be called a poem. 
 
 64. Nunc illud, fyc] Illud for hoc. Now 
 I will discuss this matter only — whether this 
 species of writing — these satires, and such as 
 mine, so written, are deservedly hated. 
 
 65. Sulcius et Caprius, Sfc] Officially 
 employed, it should seem, in criminal pro- 
 secutions — zealous officers. Nothing seems 
 to be implied to their discredit — they were 
 the terror of robbers only. According to the 
 Scholiast, they were acerrimi delatores et 
 causidici. But every thing relative to the 
 subordinate departments of the courts, and 
 
 especially to the police, must, in the absence 
 of specific details, be obscure. 
 
 66. Ambulat.] Stalk along the forum — 
 the word indicates a feeling of self-import- 
 ance. Sat. i. 2. 25. 
 
 Rauci male.] Miserably hoarse — from vo- 
 ciferating in the courts. Mart. iv. 8. 2. 
 
 Cumque libellis.] With the libelli in their 
 hands — or in bags — containing the charges 
 and perhaps details of evidence — briefs. 
 
 68. Puris.] Scil. a ccede. 
 Utrumque.] Sulcius and Caprius. 
 
 69. Ut sis, fyc] Although you may be 
 like Ccelius and Birrius, latrones (persons 
 likely to fall into the clutches of Sulcius and 
 Caprius), yet as I am not an officer, or prose- 
 cutor, like Sulcius and Caprius — why should 
 you be afraid of me ? 
 
 71- Nulla taberna, 8fc.~) Let no shop or 
 bazaar have my poems, to be handled by the 
 greasy fingers of the canaille, and of Hermo- 
 genes Tigellius. I do not wish them to be 
 exposed to sale — or to publish them (in the 
 modern sense). If they are published, it is 
 against my wishes, and therefore I cannot 
 fairly be charged with a malicious or libellous 
 design. 
 
 Taberna — pila.] Booksellers appear to 
 have exhibited their wares in shops detached 
 from dwelling-houses — or in stalls under or 
 along colonnades. Ep. ad Pis. 373.

 NOTES. 
 
 Tigellius had affected the character of a lite- 
 rary man, and frequented the booksellers' 
 shops. In Sat. i. 2. 3. Tigellius is said to be 
 dead ; but as the 24th line of that Satire is 
 referred to in the 91st of this, the precedence 
 seems indisputable. Still Horace's talk of 
 Tigellius's death might have been a mere 
 hoax. 
 
 73. Nec recito, fyc] Nor do I recite my 
 verses to any but my friends, and then only 
 when forced by their importunity — not every 
 where, or in presence of every body. 
 
 74. In medio foro, fyc] Many repeat their 
 verses in the middle of the forum, and many 
 at the baths — I am not one of them. 
 
 76. Suave locus, Sfc] The place — mean- 
 ing the baths — enclosed as it is, sweetly 
 echoes the voice. The circumstance which 
 partly impels these contemptible persons. 
 
 Inanes.] But they are empty-headed fel- 
 lows who can be thus tickled. 
 
 77> Haud qucerentes.] Who never inquire 
 whether what they do be done with common 
 sense, and at a proper time — with no tact or 
 perception of propriety. 
 
 Sine sensu.~\ I. e. without common sense. 
 Sat. i. 3. 66. 
 
 78. Alieno.] Unsuitable, as in the forum, 
 or at the baths, where people have some- 
 thing else to do than to listen to recitations. 
 Dextro tempore, Sat. ii. 1.18; Icevo, Sat. ii. 
 4.4. 
 
 Lcedere gaudes.~] You delight in mischief 
 — says the person with whom the poet affects 
 to be arguing. 
 
 79. Et hoc, Sfc] And this— the mischief 
 — you do, like a bad man, studiously — by 
 design, to gratify your malignant feelings. 
 
 Unde petitum, Sfc] This reproach which 
 you thus throw, like a stone, at me — where 
 did you pick it up ? 
 
 80. Est auctor quis, 8fc] Is any one of 
 those, with whom I have lived, your authority? 
 Does any one* of the friends — who know me 
 best — say this ? 
 
 81. Absentem, fyc] Every thing of the 
 kind is quite alien from my disposition. The 
 man who backbites a friend — who does not 
 even defend his friend against the attacks of 
 others, &c. 
 
 83. Qui captat, Sfc] Whose object is to 
 raise a loud laugh among his companions, 
 and gain the reputation of a wit, at the ex- 
 pense of a friend, &c. 
 
 84. Fingere qui non, fyc] Who can fabri- 
 cate falsehoods, and betray the confidence of 
 a friend. 
 
 85. Niger. 1 He is a worthless fellow — 
 against him, Roman, be on your guard — not 
 against me. The word is opposed to candidus, 
 physically and morally. The Greeks used 
 fikXag in the same way. 
 
 Romane.'] Scil. Imbued with the Roman 
 virtues of frankness and honour. 
 
 86. Scepe, 8(c] You may often see fours 
 on three seats dining. In a party of a dozen, 
 you will often see one, and him in the infe- 
 rior seat, scatter his sarcasms upon every 
 body, except the host. Sat. ii. 8. 23. 
 
 Tribus lectis.] The guests reclined on

 couches, three or four on each — on three sides 
 of the table. The fourth was open for the 
 access of servants. 
 
 87- Aspergere.'] Besprinkle or bespatter 
 with any filth (quavis) all the party, except 
 the man who supplies the water. The word 
 aqua suggested aspergere. 
 
 88. Qui prcebet aquam.] A periphrasis for 
 the entertainer. Sat. ii. 2. 68. Od. iii. 19. 6. 
 Water was in great demand at a Roman 
 feast — it was required for bathing the feet 
 and hands — and diluting the wine. 
 
 Post hunc, Sfc.] Scil. aspergere. The host 
 — when the buffoon gets tipsy, and Bacchus 
 opens his heart, &c. 
 
 89. Condita, Sfc] Who prompts his votary 
 to produce whatever is buried in his bosom. 
 
 90. Hie tibi, Sfc.] Such a person as this 
 — intolerable as he really is — seems to you to 
 be agreeable, and witty, and frank. 
 
 91. Infesto nigris.] To you, who are so 
 hostile to satirists, like me, who tell nothing 
 but truth, and whom you venture to call 
 nigri. 
 
 Ego, Sfc] But if / have ridiculed the cox- 
 comb Rufillus because he smelt, &c. Sat. i. 
 2.27. 
 
 93. Lividus, fyc] 
 and malevolent by you- 
 the envious person. 
 
 Mentio si qua, Sfc] 
 sence, any notice were taken of the robberies 
 committed by Petillius Capitolinus, you would 
 defend him, &c. 
 
 am thought envious 
 -you who are in fact 
 
 For, if in your pre- 
 
 94. Petilii.] The story glanced at is ob- 
 scure. Petillius is said by the scholiast Cru- 
 quius to have had the care of the Capitol, and 
 thence to have acquired the appellation of 
 Capitolinus. While in office he was prose- 
 cuted on a charge of purloining the corona of 
 Jupiter, but acquitted out of consideration for 
 Augustus, whose friend he was. 
 
 95. Ut tuus est, <yc] As you often do, in 
 your own amiable manner ! 
 
 96. Me Capitolinus, fyc] Capitolinus has 
 been on the most intimate terms with me from 
 a boy, and at my request has conferred many 
 favours on me. I am delighted that he escaped 
 a sentence of exile, but still I wonder how he 
 managed to get an acquittal. Sat. i. 10. 26. 
 
 100. Hie nigra, 8fc] Now this is the very 
 liquor of the black cuttle-fish — this is mere 
 rust — meaning, this is sheer envy and malig- 
 nity — the blackest venom of malice. 
 
 101. Aerugo.] The rust or oxyde of copper 
 — of which ink or blacking of some sort was 
 made. 
 
 Quod vitium.] A vice (malevolence) which 
 I undertake to say shall never appear in my 
 writings — nor in my heart before I write — if 
 there be any one thing else about which I can 
 truly promise, &c. 
 
 102. Ut.] If id were substituted for ut, 
 the construction would be clearer. 
 
 Prius.] To appear in his writings, male- 
 volence must first be felt in his heart (animo). 
 The poet disclaims both. Ep. ad Pis. 108.

 NOTES. 
 
 any thing too freely — indulged at all too far 
 a sportive humor — you will allow me this 
 right, and excuse the exercise of it. 
 
 105. Insuevit.] My father accustomed me 
 to this — i. e. to shun, &c. 
 
 Hoc.~\ Accusative, depending on insuevit 
 by an unusual construction. 
 
 Hoc, ut fugerem, <yc] He accustomed me 
 to this— he taught me tbus to shun vices, by 
 sbewing me the effects of them in the conduct 
 of others : and so (by implication the poet 
 says) I early learned to express freely an ab- 
 horrence of vice. 
 
 107- Quum me hortaretur, fyc] When my 
 father would exhort me to live economically, 
 and content with what he had provided for 
 me, he used to say — 
 
 109. Nonne vides, fyc] Do not you see 
 how ill Albius's son lives? i. e. what a miser- 
 
 he is 
 
 how pennyless 
 
 able condition 
 Barrus is ? 
 
 110. Magnum documenlum.] The wretched 
 state to which they have reduced themselves 
 is a great lesson, to teach people not to squan- 
 der their patrimony. 
 
 112. Sectani.~\ Sectanus, as well as Al- 
 bius's son, Barrus and Trebonius, were of 
 
 course persons whose characters and conduct 
 were well known. 
 
 114. Deprensi.~\ Detected in an intrigue 
 with somebody's wife. 
 
 115. Aiebat.] He used to say — the im- 
 perfect, as usual, expressing the habit. 
 
 Sapiens, <yc] The philosopher will give 
 you the grounds and principles of moral dis- 
 tinctions — why one thing is to be shunned, 
 and another sought. 
 
 Quidque.] The que couples vitatu and 
 petitu. 
 
 116. Mi satis est, eye] It is enough for 
 me if I can preserve in you the good habits 
 transmitted from the ancients — /. e. if I can 
 transmit them to you. 
 
 119. Duraverit.] Shall have given strength 
 and maturity to your mind and body. 
 
 120. Nabis, <yc] You will no longer re- 
 quire your father's assistance and care. 
 
 Sic, Sfc] Thus he gave me instruction 
 when I was a boy — by words of this kind. 
 
 121. Sive jubebat, Sfc] If he bade me do 
 any thing, he pointed out to me one of the 
 Select Judges — there, said he, you have an 
 authority, or an example for doing what I 
 recommend.

 123. Judicibus selectis.'] Selected, that is, 
 by the Praetor Urbanus, as assessors or jurors 
 in the highest criminal courts. The number 
 varied at different periods, as well as the 
 orders from which they were selected — some- 
 times they were taken exclusively from the 
 senate ; at others from the knights ; and at one 
 time from both orders, as well as from some, 
 the tribuni cerarii, who were neither senators 
 nor knights. 
 
 124. Sive vetabat. ~\ Or if he forbade my 
 doing a thing, he would say — Can you doubt 
 whether that be discreditable and unprofitable 
 or not, when such and such an one is spoken 
 of so opprobriously ? 
 
 126. Jvidos.] The sick — though still long- 
 ing for their usual luxuries. 
 
 127. Exanimat."] Alarms them — compels 
 them to think of their health, and abstain 
 from their wonted indulgences. 
 
 128. Sic teneros, 8fc.~\ So the disgraces of 
 others often deter young minds from the 
 vices which produce them. 
 
 129. Ex hoc, 8fC.~\ It is from this kind of 
 education — from the being thus early taught 
 to observe the consequences of vice in others, 
 that I am now free from all those faults which 
 bring after them loss of character and pro- 
 perty. 
 
 l.'iO. Quels ignoscas.~\ Pardonable. 
 
 131. Fortassis et isthinc, <yr.] Many <>| 
 
 them too, perhaps, time, advice, and reflection 
 will remove. 
 
 132. Longa cetas.~\ That is, the experience 
 which longer life brings, and the cooling down 
 of the passions. 
 
 Liber amicus.'] A friend who will frankly 
 tell me of my faults, and thus check the in- 
 dulgence. 
 
 133. Consilium.] My own reflection on 
 the consequences of indulgence. 
 
 Neque enim, tyc] For neither while re- 
 clining on my couch, nor walking in the por- 
 ticos, do I neglect j;his self-examination. 
 
 134. Rectius hoc] I say to myself— this 
 is more correct — i. e. the something which 
 had presented itself to his mind, than what 
 he had been in the habit of doing. 
 
 135. Hoc faciens, 8fc] If I do so — I shall 
 be more comfortable. 
 
 Sic dulcis, Sfc] If I do so and so, I shall 
 be dearer to my friends — they will like me the 
 better. 
 
 136. Hoc quidam, fyc] Such an one did 
 not do that well — that was a very bad act of 
 his. 
 
 Numquid, Sfc] Is it possible I can ever 
 be so silly as to do any thing like that ! 
 
 138. Compressis labris.] I meditate in 
 silence. 
 
 Ubi quid, fyc] In a leisure hour, I ainuse. 
 myself on paper — I scribble my verses.

 SATIRE V. 
 
 The poet describes a journey from Rome 
 to Brundusium, which he took in company 
 with Heliodorus — in imitation, apparently, of 
 Lucilius, who had in the same way detailed 
 the incidents of a tour from Rome to Capua, 
 and from thence to the Straits of Sicily. At 
 Anxur Horace joined Maecenas, for whose 
 sake, probably, the journey was both under- 
 taken and described. Had descriptions of 
 tours been common, the piece, from the in- 
 significance of the details, might be supposed 
 to have been levelled at some of them. 
 
 1. Excepit Aricia.~\ I. e. Horace and his 
 friend reached Aricia, the evening of the day 
 on which they left Rome. 
 
 2. Hospitio modico.'] Where the accommo- 
 dations were very moderate — the house small, 
 and no very liberal supply of provisions. 
 
 3. Inde, fyc] Scil. me excepit. The next 
 day we arrived at Forum Appii — a place 
 crowded with bargemen and cheating vic- 
 tuallers. 
 
 Forum Appi.] A small town on the Via 
 Appia, where commenced the canal which cut 
 
 the Pomptine marshes, and terminated near 
 the temple of Feronia. Fora, as well as Con- 
 ciliabula, were small towns, where there was 
 a court of justice, and a market. 
 
 4. Malignis.] As using fraudulent mea- 
 sures. Sat. i. 1. 29. 
 
 5. Hoc iter, §c] Of this stage — i. e. from 
 Rome to Forum Appii — which more active 
 people perform at once, we, who were lazy, 
 made two. 
 
 Altius prcecinctis.] For persons who tuck 
 up their clothes higher than we did — i. e. who 
 are more active. The phrase is applicable 
 only to such as wear loose and flowing dresses. 
 The Greeks used evZwvog in the same sense. 
 Sat. ii. 8. 10. 
 
 6. Nimis est gravis Appia, fyc] Scil. Via. 
 The state of the road presents new obstacles 
 to travellers not disposed to exert themselves. 
 Line 95. The substitution oinimis for minus is 
 indispensible, for minus gravis would supply 
 a reason for quicker progress. 
 
 Tardis.] Slow or idle travellers. 
 
 7- Hie ego, <yc] At Forum Appii, on ac- 
 count of the detestable water, I declare war 
 upon my stomach — I blockade the port, and 
 let in no supplies. I take no supper.

 NOTES. 
 
 8. Haud animo, fyc] Waiting with no lit- 
 tle impatience for my supping companions. 
 
 9. Comites.'] These must have been per- 
 sons who were going to be fellow-passengers 
 in the boat. 
 
 11. Turn pueri, 8fc.~\ Then the servants (in 
 attendance on their masters) and the boatmen 
 began to fling their abuse at each other. 
 
 12. Hue appelle.] One of the servants 
 exclaims — push up your boat here. 
 
 Trecentos, fyc] You are taking in three 
 hundred — oh! enough. The words of the 
 servant, alarmed at the crowding state of the 
 boat — thinking there would be no room to 
 stir. If the words be assigned, as they may 
 be, perhaps with more propriety, to the boat- 
 man — he protests against the numbers as more 
 than he can conveniently take. 
 
 13. Dum ces, fyc] While the fare is taking, 
 and the mule harnessing, an hour goes — an 
 hour is consumed in these matters. 
 
 Trecentos.] Like sexcenti, of frequent oc- 
 currence as round numbers. 
 
 Mula, fyc] The boat was drawn by a mule 
 walking on the bank of the canal. 
 
 14. Mali culices, fyc] The confounded 
 gnats, and the frogs of the marshes, prevent 
 all sleeping. 
 
 15. Absentem ut, fyc] At the same time 
 the boatman, well drenched with bad wine, is 
 singing the charms of his mistress, and a pas- 
 senger in the same condition, is vying with 
 him in a similar attempt. 
 
 16. Viator.] One of the passengers. The 
 Scholiast makes the Viator to be the mule- 
 driver ; but it will be observed, it is the boat- 
 man who fastens the mule's halter to a stone, 
 and the boatman whom the enraged passenger 
 in the morning thrashes, as well as the mule 
 — without farther notice of the Viator. 
 
 Prolutus.] Drunk. Virg. JEn. i. 739. 
 
 17- Tandem.] At last the Viator being 
 wearied begins to fall asleep. Therefore he is 
 in the boat, otherwise he would be left behind. 
 
 18. Ac missce, fyc] And the boatman, 
 himself drunk and sleepy, finding the pas- 
 sengers dropping asleep, fastens to a stone the 
 ropes of the mule, who is sent to graze — i. e. 
 suffered to do so within range of the tether. 
 
 20. Nil procedere.] When we find the 
 boat standing still. 
 
 21. Cerebrosus, fyc] One of the passen- 
 gers, a passionate fellow, starts up, and be- 
 labours with a good willow club the head and 
 shoulders of both boatman and mule. 
 
 23. Quarta.] We had scarcely landed at 
 ten o'clock — a third of the day was gone. 
 The Romans reckoned their hours from the 
 sun's rising at the equinox — our seven o'clock 
 was their first hour, &c. 
 
 24. Feronia.] Sometimes a nymph, as 
 here, on account of her fountain, near the 
 termination of the canal, and sometimes, as 
 at Anxur, the wife of Jupiter. Virg. jEn. vii. 
 799. 
 
 Lavimus.] From the old form latere

 NOTES. 
 
 25. Millia turn, Sfc] Then taking some 
 refreshment, we creep along three miles, and 
 enter Anxur — a town built upon the white 
 cliffs. 
 
 26. Anxur.'] Or Tarracina, (now Terra- 
 cina), said to be called Anxur, from Jupiter 
 &%vpog imberbis — its tutelary deity. 
 
 27- Hue, fyc] Hither — to Anxur, Maecenas 
 and Cocceius were to come, both despatched 
 as commissioners on important matters. 
 
 28. Cocceius.] Scil. Nerva. He was the 
 ancestor of the emperor of that name. 
 
 29. Aversos soliti.] Accustomed to conci- 
 liate the alienated friends — who had before 
 brought them together. 
 
 Amicos.] Meaning Antony and Octavius. 
 The first negociation appears to have been 
 714 U. C. The present was in 717 U. C. 
 Maecenas and Cocceius alone were concerned 
 the first time — probably before Horace's in- 
 troduction to Maecenas. 
 
 30. Hie oculis, 8fc] Here, while waiting 
 for Maecenas, / — emphatically — the lippus, 
 took the opportunity of rubbing some black 
 collyrium upon my eyes. Horace is ob- 
 viously jesting — humouring the malicious 
 report, that he was lippus, an invidious epi- 
 thet (equivalent, apparently, to sot or drunk- 
 ard) which his enemies were attempting to 
 fasten upon him. Comp. Sat. i. 1. 121. 
 
 32. Capito Fonteius.] Capito was Antony's 
 friend ; Maecenas, Octavius's ; and Cocceius a 
 common friend — a mediator. 
 
 Ad unguem factus, fyc] A man of the 
 highest accomplishments. The phrase seems 
 borrowed from the sculptors, who elaborate 
 every part, even to the finger-nail ; — or ac- 
 cording to some, with perhaps less probability, 
 from the sculptor proving tbe smoothness of 
 the surface with his own finger-nail. But see 
 Ep. ad Pis. 294. 
 
 33. Antoni, non, 8fc] As not another per- 
 son was more so. Antony's most confidential 
 friend. 
 
 34. Fundos.] A small town on the Via 
 Appia, between Tarracina and Formiae, where 
 Aufidius Luscus, though only a scriba, assum- 
 ed the rank and state of the praetor — whether 
 by praetor be meant the local chief magistrate, 
 or the Praetor Urbanus under whose authority 
 the scriba was acting at the time. 
 
 Auf. Lusc. Praetor e.] In the praeturate — or 
 reign of Aufidius — in the mock-heroic style. 
 
 Libenter.] Annoyed by the airs of Aufidius, 
 or the sooner to give vent to their merriment 
 at the ridiculous reception. 
 
 Lusco.] Blind of one eye — humorously 
 used as a proper name. 
 
 35. Prcemia.] The insignia of office. 
 
 Scribce.] The public scriba were the secre- 
 taries of the Quaestors, iEdiles, Praetors, &c. 
 They were classed in decurice ; allotted to 
 different departments by the Praetor Urb. and 
 paid by the Treasury. Horace was himself 
 a Scriba Quaestorius, if not at this time, soon 
 afterwards. Sat. ii. 6. 36. 
 
 Insani.] So absurd as to assume the in- 
 signia of the praetor. 
 
 36. Latum clavum.] This was a broad 
 stripe of purple, or rather two fascice or pla- 
 gulcB (slips or ribbands) sewed on the breast 
 of the tunic, and worn by senators. The 
 knights had a narrower slip of the same co- 
 lour, called angustus clavus. 
 
 Prcetextam.] Scil. togam. The toga with 
 an edging of purple — common to all superior 
 magistrates, at Rome, in municipia, and colo- 
 nies. 
 
 Pruncrque batillum.] A small pan, or stove, 
 filled with live coals for burning incense, and 
 borne before the magistrate on occasions of 
 solemnity.

 am in my senses, and able to judge of the 
 value, can / compare, &c. 
 
 45. Campano ponti.] The bridge across the 
 Savo (now Savone). Campano — as if this 
 bridge brought the party into Campania. 
 
 40. Parochi, fyc] Officers, along the main 
 roads, bound to supply persons travelling on 
 the business of the state with certain neces- 
 saries — at the expence of the district, appa- 
 rently, and of course niggardly done, as all 
 purveyance of the kind is sure to be. Besides 
 fuel and salt, mentioned here, they supplied 
 forage for horses. 
 
 47. Tempore.] They reached Capua early. 
 The mules were unloaded, and of course the 
 
 party proposed to stay the night there. Capua 
 Epod. 16. 
 
 48. Lusum it, <yc] I. e. to play at tennis, 
 or rackets — unless the lusus trigonis is meant. 
 Sat. i. 6. 126. 
 
 49. Namque, Sfc] It is a game that does 
 not suit the lippi, like me ; nor the crudi, like 
 Virgil. 
 
 Lippis.] Horace, of course, was more dis- 
 posed to take a nap, and alleges this mock ex- 
 cuse with a smile at the malice of his enemies, 
 who would take occasion to say he was tipsy. 
 
 Crudis.] Troubled with indigestion — pos- 
 sibly not to be taken seriously, any more than 
 lippis. 
 
 50. Cocceii villa, <yc] The well-supplied 
 villa received us, which stands above — higher 
 up the hill, than the cauponce of Caudium — 
 miserable places where the party must have 
 slept, had not Cocceius's villa been near. 
 
 51. Caudi.] A small town on the Via Ap- 
 pia, between Capua and Beneventum, memor- 
 able for the defeat of the Romans by the 
 Samnites, 433 U. C. 
 
 Nunc mihi, Sfc] At Cocceius's villa occurs 
 a quarrel between two low fellows, one of 
 whom is in the suite of Maecenas. Horace 
 details the scene in a mock-heroic tone. 
 
 52. Pugnam.] Battle of words only. 
 Messi Cicirri.] Messius, with the nom 
 
 de guerre of Cicirrus (KiKippog) i. e. cock — 
 dunghill-cock. 
 
 53. Quo patre, <yc] From what ancestry 
 sprang each of the combatants.

 NOTES. 
 
 54. Messi.'] Of Messius the illustrious race 
 was Oscan, i. e. Campanian — labouring under 
 the worst imputations. 
 
 55. Sarmenti domina.'] Sarmentus's mis- 
 tress, — i. e. his owner — is still living. Sar- 
 mentus had been a slave, though now in Mae- 
 cenas's establishment, apparently as a sort of 
 private secretary. Maecenas was delighted 
 with his scurrilities. Plut. in Ant. Juvenal. 
 v. 3. The practice seems to have prevailed 
 among the rich of admitting persons of this 
 description, to entertain their guests with buf- 
 fooneries. 
 
 56. Sarmentus, fyc] Sarmentus begins. I 
 say, you are like a wild horse — alluding to 
 his bulk, and blustering manner perhaps. 
 Sarmentus himself was a little fellow. 
 
 57- Ridemus, fyc] At this attack we all 
 laugh, and Messius himself says, — I agree 
 with you ; and throws his head up and down, 
 like a horse. 
 
 58. 0, tua, fyc] Sarmentus follows up his 
 blow — If your head had not had its horn cut 
 out — i. e. if you had your horn still upon 
 your head — what would you not do, when, 
 mutilated as you are, you threaten in this 
 manner ? 
 
 Cornu exsecto.] As if a horn had been cut 
 out— alluding to a frightful scar in his fore- 
 head. 
 
 60. At, fyc] For the bristly brow of his 
 
 face, on the left, an ugly scar disfigured. — At 
 seems to express scilicet, or nimirum — very 
 unusual. 
 
 62. Campanum in morb.] Campanian dis- 
 ease, as the source of the scar. This disease, 
 whatever it might specifically be, was re- 
 garded as disreputable. 
 
 63. Rogabat, fyc] After cutting his jokes 
 upon this disease, and his disfigured face, he 
 begged him to dance the Cyclops — to exhibit 
 in the character of a Cyclops. He had no 
 need of a mask, or of buskins — i. e. he was 
 ugly enough and bulky enough, without any 
 artificial aids, to represent the character to 
 perfection. 
 
 65. Multa, fyc] In reply to these things, 
 Cicirrus asked Sarmentus, whether he had 
 presented his chain to the Lares, according to 
 his vow ? Sarmentus had been a slave. 
 
 66. Scriba quod, fyc] He then told him 
 — that the right of his mistress over him was 
 not a whit the less because he was a secretary 
 — hinting that he was a runaway slave. 
 
 67- Rogabat denique, fyc] At last he asked 
 him, what he could run away for at all ? For 
 a fellow, so slim and puny, a pound of flour 
 must have been abundance. 
 
 69. Farris libra.] The slave's allowance. 
 
 70. Prorsus, fyc] With this squabble, &c 
 we passed a very pleasant evening, and sate 
 late.

 NOTES. 
 
 71. Beneventum.~\ A town on the confines 
 of the Samnites and the Hirpini — said to have 
 been called Maleventum, till a Roman colony 
 was settled there, who gave it the more pro- 
 pitious name. Fest. Plin. &c. 
 
 Sedulus hospes, <Sj-c] Where the bustling 
 host, while turning some half-starved birds at 
 the fire, was himself almost burnt up. The 
 party stopped at a caupona. 
 
 73. Vaga per veterem, 8fc.~\ In the roof was 
 a hole for the escape of the smoke. Some 
 fat may be supposed to have fallen into the 
 fire, the flames of which flashed up towards 
 the said smoke-hole, and in their way caught 
 the old dry timbers of the roof. 
 
 74. Lambere.'] To lick the roof — reach it. 
 
 75. Avidos.] Scil. edendi. Hungry — 
 prompted by hunger to snatch the half-dressed 
 birds from the flames. 
 
 Timentes.] As if taking the opportunity 
 of plundering, and dreading their master's 
 detecting them. 
 
 76. Restinguere.] Scil. ignem. 
 Videres.] Instead of videre licebat. Then 
 
 might you see, &c. Sat. i. 8. 34. 
 
 77- Ex Mo.] After quitting Beneventum. 
 
 Notos.] Horace was himself an Apulian, 
 and knew the country. 
 
 78. Atabulus.] Considered as peculiar to 
 the Apulian hills — a dry, cold, withering 
 wind ; not a hot, burning wind, or why re- 
 quire a fire at the Villa ? Plin. H. N. xvii. 
 24. Torrere, as well as urere, applies to cold. 
 
 79. Erepsemus.] For erepsissemus — which 
 we never should have surmounted, had not, &c. 
 
 Vicina.] Near Trivicus, a town on the 
 borders of Campania. 
 
 80. Lacrymoso.] With smoke that brought 
 the tears into Horace's eyes — as it might well 
 do in any one's eyes, lippus or not. 
 
 81. Udos, Sfc] Wet boughs burning on 
 the hearth. 
 
 86. Hinc rapimur, Sfc] From hence — the 
 villa vicina Trivici — we sweep along at a great 
 rate in cars, four and twenty miles, to put up 
 at a little town, &c. 
 
 87- Oppidulo, Sfc] Equotutium (now Sco- 
 tuccio). The name of which I cannot get 
 into my verse (hexameter) ; but which is ea- 
 sily described. 
 
 88. Venit, fyc] Here water — the common- 
 est commodity in the world — is sold. It was 
 fetched from a distance. 
 
 89. Ultra.] Gets bread at Equotutium, 
 and carries it on. I. e. to Canusium.

 tbe road, and what he has to expect at Canu- 
 si um. 
 
 91. Canusi.'] At Canusium (Canosa) the 
 bread is stony — hard as stone. From what 
 cause can only be matter of conjecture. 
 
 Aquce non ditior.'] The urn with which 
 water is drawn from the wells is no fuller of 
 water at Canusium — i. e. there is the same 
 scarcity there as at Equotutium. 
 
 92. Qui locus.] The genuineness of the 
 verse is doubted, from the solecism locus con- 
 ditus est. 
 
 94. Rubos.] Now Ruvo. The distance 
 from Canusium -is stated in Anton. Itin. 23 
 miles. 
 
 Fessi, fyc] The party set out in the morn- 
 ing from Equotutium — not Canusium. 
 
 95. Et factum corruptius, fyc] The jour- 
 ney was worse — more disagreeable from the 
 wet. 
 
 96. Postera, 8fc] The next weather. The 
 next day the weather was better ; but the 
 road worse, &c. 
 
 97- Bari.] Barium was a fishing town — 
 where there was some trade in fish. 
 
 Gnatia.] Or Egnatia, a small town on the 
 coast, now Monopoli. 
 
 Lymphis iratis.] Either, says the Schol. 
 Cruq. because there was a want of water, or 
 
 the water was bad, — or because the town was 
 built at the foot of the hills, and so liable to 
 be flooded by the torrents in rainy seasons. — 
 Perhaps, built so close to the water's edge, as 
 to be washed by the waves in stormy weather, 
 or by spring-tides. 
 
 98. Dedit, fyc] Gnatia occasioned much 
 laughing and joking, because the natives 
 wished to persuade us that in the temple tus 
 melted without fire, 
 
 99. Flamma sine, §c] Pliny speaks of this 
 miracle, apparently, H. N. ii. 111. If, says 
 he, a piece of wood is placed upon a sacred 
 stone there, forthwith a flame is visible. 
 
 100. Apella.] Some well-known indivi- 
 dual may be meant here — but more likely in 
 allusion to the supposed credulity of the Jews. 
 
 101. Didici, tyc] From the doctrines of 
 Epicurus — that the Gods do not trouble them- 
 selves with human affairs. Lucret. vi. 157. 
 
 102. Nee, si, fyc] Nor do the Gods, if any 
 thing extraordinary occurs in nature, send it 
 from the skies. 
 
 103. Tristes.] As if disturbed in the en- 
 joyment of tranquillity. 
 
 104. Brundusium.] The end of my long 
 journey, and of my long poem. The distance 
 was 320 miles, and the journey occupied 
 fifteen days.

 NOTES. 
 
 SATIRE VI. 
 
 The poet compliments Maecenas on the li- 
 berality of his sentiments — his just contempt 
 for the bare claims of birth, and generous 
 estimate of personal merit. It is to this in- 
 dependency of judgment on the part of Mae- 
 cenas, that Horace is indebted for his patron's 
 friendship, next to his own father's judicious 
 management of his education, which taught 
 him to deserve it. 
 
 1. Non, quia, Sfc] Though none of the 
 Etrurians are more noble by birth than your- 
 self, and though your ancestors once governed 
 large dominions, you do not, as many do, re- 
 gard with contempt the low-born, like myself, 
 for instance, the son of a libertinus. 
 
 Lydorum quicquid, Sfc] No one of all who 
 emigrated from Lydia to Etruria — i. e. none 
 of the Etrurians. Horace follows the author- 
 ity of those who represent the Etrurians as 
 colonists from Lydia. Herod, i. 94. Dionys. 
 Hal. i. 27. 
 
 Etruscos fines.'} Between the Tyrrhenian 
 sea and the Tiber. 
 
 5. Naso suspendis.'] Turn up your nose 
 at, &c. 
 
 7. Quum, 8fc.~\ Since you deny that it is 
 a matter of any importance from what parents 
 a man is sprung, provided he be well-edu- 
 cated — well-bred — a gentleman in spirit and 
 conduct. 
 
 8. Persuades hoc, #c] You persuade your- 
 self of this truly — you have no doubt that be- 
 fore the sovereignty of Servius Tullius, the 
 slave, there had lived many a low-born man 
 honoured and honourable. 
 
 9. Ignobile regnum.'] A sovereignty held 
 by a person of servile birth. 
 
 10. Nullis majoribus, <yc] The sons of 
 nobody, as Servius Tullius, the sixth king of 
 Rome, whom Livy, iv. 3. describes as nullo 
 patre natus. The Greeks used a7rartop in 
 the same contemptuous sense. 
 
 12. Contra, fyc] On the other hand, you 
 know very well that Laevinus, though the 
 descendant of that Valerius who expelled the 
 Tarquins, was never thought of any worth or 
 importance by the very people who, as you 
 know, often confer honours on the most 
 worthless, dazzled by names and titles. 
 
 Laevinum.] The Schol. Porphyrion repre- 
 sents him as a man of such disreputable ha- 
 bits, that he could never advance in the ca- 
 reer of honours beyond the quaesturate. 
 
 14. Licuisse, <yc] Was never valued at 
 more than a single as — was in the lowest esti- 
 mation. 
 
 15. Quo nosti, fyc] And you know what 
 sort of judges the people are. Quo, a Greek 
 construction, for quem. 
 
 16. Fames servit.] Are the slaves of a 
 name — look to nothing but a name.

 Invidia accrevit, privato quae minor esset. 26 
 Nam ut quisque insanus nigris medium im-

 NOTES. 
 
 17- Titulis et imag.~\ Roman nobility was 
 estimated by the number of ancestors who 
 had held the higher offices in the state. Their 
 busts, with inscriptions (titulis) attached, were 
 placed conspicuously in the atrium. The busts 
 (imagines) were of wax. 
 
 Quid oportet, 8fc] The question is asked 
 not, apparently, with reference to the single 
 correct judgment of the people in the case 
 of Laevinus, but to their general conduct in 
 the disposal of honours. 
 
 Quid oportet nos, Sfc] With our know- 
 ledge of the people, and exemption from vulgar 
 prejudices, what should we do ? The answer 
 implied seems to be — why, not subject our- 
 selves to their caprice — which appears also to 
 be the point aimed at in the succeeding 
 supposition. 
 
 19. Namque, 8fc] For suppose the peo- 
 ple would more readily (as there can be no 
 doubt they would generally) give the con- 
 sulate to a Laevinus than to a Decius — or sup- 
 pose the censor (as prejudiced in his way as 
 the people) should expel me from the senate 
 on account of my birth — " what then ?" ap- 
 pears to have been at his tongue's end — 
 " what real injury to Decius or me ?" — but 
 feeling the apparent arrogance of the senti- 
 ment, the poet checks the expression, and 
 sportively adds — it would be no more than I 
 deserved, if I could not rest quietly in my own 
 skin — i. e. if I willingly thrust myself into 
 situations where I was liable to such mortifi- 
 cations — knowing the prejudices which pos- 
 sess both people and censor. 
 
 20. Decio.] P. Decius Mus, the novus homo 
 — a plebeian, and the first of his family who 
 attained to high office. He devoted himself 
 in the field of battle for the service of the re- 
 public 415 U. C. 
 
 21. Appius.'] Ap. Claudius Pulcher — no- 
 
 torious for the severity with which he ex- 
 ercised the office of censor, 443 U. C. 
 
 22. In proprid non pelle, fyc] Alluding to 
 iEsop's fable of the ass in the lion's skin. 
 
 23. Sed fulgente, Sfc] But still, it will be 
 objected, Glory chains to her car the low-born 
 as well as the high. All men, whatever their 
 birth, are fond of distinctions ; and the field 
 should be freely open to all, according to their 
 merits. 
 
 24. Quo tibi, Sfc] Why, what advantage 
 has it been to you, Tullius, to take the clavus, 
 and become a tribune ? 
 
 Tulli.] This Tullius, or Tillius, is said by 
 the Scholiast Cruq. to have been expelled 
 from the senate, as a Pompeian, by Caesar ; 
 and on Caesar's death, to have resumed the 
 latus clavus, one of the senatorial insignia, 
 with the rank of tribunus militum. But the 
 account does not apply to the case, and seems 
 to have been given under a misapprehension. 
 Tullius must have been a novus homo, or at 
 least a public man for the first time — that is 
 the very point of illustration, and any other 
 supposition can scarcely be in congruity with 
 Invidia accrevit, SfC 
 
 Quo tibi.] Scil. profuii. In this phrase 
 quo seems to be the old quoi, for cui. 
 
 25. Depositum.] The word presents a diffi- 
 culty ; but, looking to the phrase in line 28, 
 demisit pectore elavum, it may seem to be 
 synonymous with demissum, and then all is 
 consistent. 
 
 Tribuno.] Greek construction, for tribunum. 
 Sat. i. 1. 19. The tribunus militum was en- 
 titled to the latus clavus. Cic. pro Clu- 
 ent. 54. 
 
 26. Invidia, SfC.] You were less liable to 
 envy or jealousy, as a private person. 
 
 27- Nam ut, 8fc] As soon as any body is 
 mad enough to assume the senatorial distinc-

 tions, he hears it asked — the inquiry imme- 
 diately is — who is he ? 
 
 Nigrls pellibus.^\ Black straps, with which 
 the senator's sandals were fastened — bound 
 round the leg to the calf — a kind of cross- 
 gartering. 
 
 Insa?ius.~\ So mad as to be dazzled with 
 honours, or, rather, as to court the acquisition 
 of honours, without the means of securing 
 them. 
 
 28. Latum clavum.'] Sat. i. 5. 36. 
 
 30. Ut, si qui, 8fc.~\ Just as any person, if 
 affected with the same disease as Barrus — 
 i. e. with the desire of being thought hand- 
 some — excites, wherever he goes, the curi- 
 osity of the young women to look at his face 
 and features — so the man who undertakes to 
 govern the state, sets all the world inquiring 
 as to his birth, &c. 
 
 Barrus.] Sat. i. 4. 110. 
 
 31. Et capiat, Sfc] The construction of 
 eegrotet et capiat is loose and colloquial, but 
 not for that reason to be submitted to the tor- 
 ture of correction. The desire of being thought 
 handsome is the disease. 
 
 34. Civis, urbem, fyc] These are said by 
 the Schol. Cruq. to have been the terms of the 
 oath on taking office. 
 
 38. Tune, <yc] Do you, says one of the 
 people to a new tribune of low birth, — do 
 you, a son of a Syrus, or Dama, or Diony- 
 sius, dare to hurl Roman citizens from the 
 rock, or hand them over to Cadmus, the pub- 
 lic executioner ? 
 
 Syri, <yc] Common names of slaves. 
 
 39. Dejicere, fyc] To precipitate from the 
 Tarpeian rock — a power exercised by the 
 tribunes. 
 
 Cadmo.~\ Said by the Schol. Acron to have 
 been an executioner of the time, notorious for 
 the savage performance of his office. 
 
 40. At Novius, SfC.~\ But, replies the tri- 
 bune, why do you throw my birth in my 
 teeth ? My colleague, Novius, is inferior to 
 me by a step — if I am the son of a slave, he 
 has been a slave himself — or, if I am the son 
 of a libertinus, of one whose father was a 
 slave, my colleague's father was himself a 
 slave. Libertus and libertinus seem to have 
 been sometimes confounded at this period. 
 
 41. Hoc tibi, Sfc] What, for that— be- 
 cause your colleague is worse than you, do 
 you think yourself as noble as a Paulus, or a 
 Messala ? 
 
 Paulus.'] Od. i. 12. 38. 
 
 42. Messala.] Valerius Messala Corvinus. 
 At hie] But he, i. e. Novius, though he 
 
 is still lower than you, yet if two hundred 
 waggons, and three funerals met in the fo- 
 rum, will shout louder than the horns, &c. — 
 he has a voice to out-bray the trumpets, &c. 
 
 43. Funera.] In funeral processions at- 
 tended with any extraordinary parade, trum- 
 pets sounded as they passed through the 
 forum. 
 
 44. Saltern hoc] That at least we like in 
 him. 
 
 45. Nunc ad mc, Sfc] But now I return to

 Q. HOKATII FLAG CI 
 
 cui exprobrant universi origi- 
 nem e patre libertino, eo quod 
 nunc sum tuus conviva, 6 Mae- 
 cenas : quondam vero praefectus 
 essem Romanae legioni. Hoc 
 ab illo difFert : quamvis enim 
 dignitatem istam mihi fortasse 
 merito quispiam invidere queat, 
 at non pariter tuam amicitiam ; 
 maxime cum dignos eligere cu- 
 res, perversa ambitione longe 
 pulsd. Ob hoc me fortunatum 
 appellare nequeo, quod fortuito 
 nactus sim te amicum : nulla 
 quippe fortuna mihi dedit te : 
 sed eximius primo Virgilius, 
 ac deinde Varius, narraverunt 
 quis essem. Cum vero steti 
 coram te, modica dixi inter- 
 rupts verbis ; (nam verecundia 
 elinguis haud sinebat plura lo- 
 qui). Non me illustris parentis 
 filium, non equo me generoso 
 vehi circa meos agros, sed, quod 
 eram, commemoravi. Tu pau- 
 ca, ut soles, respondisti. Dis- 
 cedo : meque post novem men- 
 ses accersis : praecipisque esse 
 inter amicos tuos. Illud ego 
 magni facio 
 
 Quern rodunt omnes libertino patre natum ; 
 Nunc, quia sum tibi, Maecenas, convictor ; at 
 
 olim, 
 Quod mihi pareret legio Romana tribuno. 
 Dissimile hoc illi est : quia non, ut forsit ho- 
 
 norem 
 Jure mihi invideat qnivis, ita te quoque ami- 
 cum, 50 
 Praesertim cautum dignos assumere, prava 
 Ambitione procul. Felicem dicere non hoc 
 Me possunt, casu quod te sortitus amicum : 
 Nulla etenim tibi me fors obtulit; optimus olim 
 Virgilius, post hunc Varius, dixere, quid es- 
 sem. 55 
 Ut veni coram, singultim pauca locutus, 
 (Infans namque pudor prohibebat plura pro- 
 
 fari) 
 Non ego me claro natum patre, non ego circum 
 Me Satureiano vectari rura caballo ; 
 Sed, quod eram, narro ; respondes, ut tuus est 
 mos, . 60 
 
 Pauca: abeo; et revocas nono post mense, 
 
 jubesque 
 Esse in amicorum numero. Magnum hoc ego 
 duco, 
 
 NOTES. 
 
 myself, the son of a libertinus — whom every 
 body carps at, as the son of a libertinus. 
 
 47- Nunc, quia, fyc] Now they carp at 
 me because I am in the habit of familiar inter- 
 course with you ; at first — some time ago, it 
 was because I was the tribune of a Roman 
 legion. 
 
 49. Dissimile, 8fc.~\ This, the being a tri- 
 bune, is unlike that — the having you for my 
 friend. The two things are very different, 
 because, though any one may perhaps justly 
 envy me the rank, he cannot justly envy me 
 your friendship — so careful as you are to 
 choose such only as are worthy of it. What 
 depends upon interest or luck may be the 
 subject of envy, but not what is acquired by 
 individual merit. 
 
 Forsit.'] A Lucretian word, for forsitan. 
 
 51. Dignos.'] Scil. amicitid. Wherever dig- 
 nus is used, as here, absolutely, that thing of 
 which a person is said to be worthy must be 
 gathered from the context. 
 
 Pravd amb. procul.] To the exclusion 
 of all selfish motives or objects. 
 
 52. Felicem.] They cannot say I was 
 lucky on this ground, that I obtained your 
 friendship by accident. 
 
 54. Nulla etenim, fyc] It was not any 
 chance that presented me to you. I owed the 
 introduction to my friends Virgil and Varius, 
 
 who knew me well, and deemed me worthy 
 of your friendship. 
 
 55. Quid essem.] What sort of a person I 
 was. 
 
 Varius.] Od. i. 6. 1. 
 
 56. Ut veni coram, Sfc] When I was per- 
 sonally introduced, I spoke but few words, 
 and those hesitatingly ; nor did I tell how I 
 was the son of a noble father, or how I rode 
 around my estates on a Satureian horse — i. e. 
 that I was the owner of large estates in Apu- 
 lia (as somebody else, it may be supposed, 
 had done) ; but I told you just what I was — 
 the plain truth as to my birth and circum- 
 stances. 
 
 57. Pudor infans.] Because the modest 
 are naturally reserved, and speak but little. 
 
 59. Satureiano.] According to the Schol. 
 Porphyrion, there were large and fine tracts 
 of country in Apulia at the time called Satu- 
 reian. A Satureian horse will therefore be 
 equivalent to an Apulian, and one of course 
 of a good breed. 
 
 62. Magnum, §c] I reckon this a great 
 thing — I consider it as a high distinction — a 
 thing to be proud of, that I pleased you, a 
 man who discriminates the good from the 
 bad, by no illustrious birth, but by purity of 
 conduct, and candour of disposition.

 NOTES. 
 
 64. Vita — puroJ] A life stained by no 
 scandalous conduct. 
 
 Pectore puro.~\ A heart well-disposed — 
 free from malignity, selfishness, and dissimu- 
 lation. 
 
 Co. Atqui, 8[c.~] That is — if my faults are 
 few and small. 
 
 66. Alioqui recta.~\ Correct generally — 
 with the exception of the few and excusable 
 faults. 
 
 Velut, 3'c] As you might find fault with 
 a few specks or freckles on a fair skin. 
 
 68. Si neque, <yc] If no one can truly 
 charge me with avarice, sordid baseness, or 
 profligacy. 
 
 Avaritiam.'} Refers specifically to oblique 
 modes of acquiring ; sordes to hoarding and 
 the exclusion of all generous uses of wealth ; 
 lustra mala, to profligate squandering upon 
 women. 
 
 69. Purus, 8fc.~\ If I live purus, et in sons, 
 et carus amicis. 
 
 71. Causa, Sfc.~\ My father was the cause 
 of these qualities which I am arrogating. 
 
 Macro pauper, <^c] The owner of but a 
 poor miserable estate, compared with men of 
 magnificent domains. 
 
 72. In Flavi ludum.} To Flavius's school — 
 at Venusia, where, of course, Flavins kept a 
 school for the ordinary purposes of a common 
 education. 
 
 Magni quo, fyc.~\ Where the great sons of 
 great centurions, with loculi and tabula hang- 
 
 ing on the left arm, went, money in hand on 
 the Ides. 
 
 74. Suspensi.} 'E^nprrifikvoi top a(3aica — 
 who hung upon their arm the bags containing 
 the calculi, books, and whatever else might be 
 required at these ordinary local schools. 
 
 Tabulam.} The Scholiast Cruq. describes 
 the tabula, as the abacus — that on which the 
 scholars marked their arithmetical characters, 
 and learnt to arrange the calculi — to perform 
 arithmetical calculations. 
 
 75. Referentes cera.} The teacher's salary, 
 which it may be supposed was paid every 
 month ; and mentioned here, probably, as a 
 practice which characterised inferior schools. 
 
 Octonis.} The Ides — a division of the 
 Roman months, consisting of eight days. 
 
 76. Sed puerum, fyc] But he ventured, in 
 spite of the sneers of his neighbours, especially 
 of the magni centuriones ; — or, he had the 
 spirit to do, what few in his circumstances 
 would have done, — to take me to Rome to be 
 taught the accomplishments which a knight 
 or senator would desire his sons to be 
 taught. 
 
 78. Vestem, §c.} If any one had observed 
 my dress and the slaves who attended me, he 
 would have supposed the expense was sup- 
 plied from some large ancestral property. 
 
 79. In magno ut populo.} Although in a 
 populous city, where such things attract less 
 observation. 
 
 80. Illos.} 1. e. so great.

 NOTES. 
 
 101. Atque salutandi, Sfc] I must attend 
 more levees and hold them too. Those who 
 were desirous of obtaining honours, whatever 
 their birth and fortune, were of course ob- 
 liged thus to cultivate the goodwill of persons 
 of influence. 
 
 Ducendus, fyc] Then I must have a humble 
 companion or two, so that I could never go 
 into the country, or to a distance, alone. 
 
 103. Plures calones, <yc] I should have 
 more knaves and horses to feed. Sat. i. 2. 44. 
 
 104. Petorrita.~\ Carriages to convey my 
 suite and baggage. 
 
 Nunc, 8fc.~\ In my present humble circum- 
 stances I can go upon my little crop mule as 
 far if I like as Tarentum — to the extremity of 
 Italy. 
 
 106. Mantica.'] Saddle-bags — a small port- 
 manteau or valise. 
 
 Cui.~] A mule, whose back the saddle-bags 
 wrung, and the rider his withers. Lucilius 
 had the following line : 
 
 Mantica cantherii costas gravitate premebat. 
 
 Eques.] Myself — who ride him. 
 
 107- Objiciet, fyc] Nor will any body 
 charge me with the meanness they do you, 
 Tullius, when only five servants attend you, 
 though you are the praetor, on the road to 
 your villa at Tibur. 
 
 108. Tiburte vid.] The road which led 
 from the Esquilian gate to Tibur (Tivoli). 
 
 109. Portantes, Sfc] Symptoms of sordid- 
 ness — few slaves accompany him, and they 
 carrying articles which his villa, as well as his 
 city residence, should supply. 
 
 110. Hoc, §c.~] On account of my simple 
 habits, &c. 
 
 Praeclare, fyc.~\ My illustrious senator — 
 Tullius. Ironically. 
 
 112. Percontor, $c] I ask the price of

 NOTES. 
 
 SATIRE VII. 
 
 A burlesque description of a scene of con- 
 tention between two absurd persons in the 
 presence of Brutus, while Praetor of Asia. 
 
 1. Proscripti, Sfc] The way in which the 
 mongrel Persius, in his quarrel with Rex 
 Rupilius, took his revenge, is known, I sup- 
 pose, to all the tipplers and barbers in town. 
 
 Proscripti.] A proscribed person — one 
 whose name appeared in the proscription- 
 lists, during the triumvirate of Octavius, 
 Antony, and Lepidus. 
 
 Regis Rup.] Rupilius had been the chief 
 magistrate of Praeneste ; Rex might be the 
 local title of the office, or he must be supposed 
 to be called so by the poet in ridicule. Ac- 
 cording to the Schol. Cruq. when he found 
 himself in the proscription lists, he took refuge 
 in the camp of Brutus ; where he protested 
 against the appointment of Horace, a man of 
 ignominious birth, to a tribunate. He is said 
 also to have been one of the poet's detractors, 
 who gave him the epithet of lippus. 
 
 Pus atque venenum.~\ Corruption and venom 
 — virulent abuse. 
 
 2. Hybrida.~\ Persius was the son of a Greek 
 father, and by a Roman mother. Hybrida, 
 a contemptuous term, applied generally to 
 dogs, the offspring of different breeds — im- 
 plying degeneracy — mongrel. 
 
 Quo pacto.~\ I. e. by the absurd appeal to 
 Brutus. 
 
 Persius, fyc] This Persius was a rich man, 
 and had debts due to him at Clazomenae. 
 
 3. Lippis.~\ Sots — persons frequenting 
 tippling-houses, and so, great gossips. Sat. i. 
 1. 120; i. 5. 20. 
 
 2'onsoribus.] Proverbial for gossipping— 
 
 retailing to one customer what they learnt 
 from another. 
 
 4. Permagna, fyc] Large debts at Clazo- 
 menae. Persius was a money- dealer ; and at 
 Clazomenae with Brutus were many persons 
 who had borrowed money of him, and some 
 others of them probably, like Rupilius, in the 
 proscription-lists. 
 
 5. Clazomenis.'] A town on the Ionic 
 coast of Asia, and at the time, apparently, 
 the seat of Brutus's government. 
 
 Molestas.] A claim, which the King con- 
 tested, and which Persius was prosecuting 
 with importunity. 
 
 6. Durus, fyc] An impracticable person — 
 not to be turned from his purpose. 
 
 Atque odio, fyc] And one to match the 
 King in virulence and obstinacy. 
 
 Odio.] In what generates hatred — he 
 was more insolent than the King. 
 
 7. Confidens.] Insolent. 
 Tumidus.] Bullying. 
 
 Adeo sermonis, fyc] Of so bitter a tongue 
 that he would outstrip Sisennae and Barri 
 mounted on grey horses. Proverbial for 
 superiority in any way. 
 
 8. Albis.] Supposed, apparently, to be 
 fleetest. 
 
 Sisennas, <yc] Renowned, of course, for 
 their vituperative powers. Barrus has been 
 marked before as a ruined profligate, and 
 sunk into the lowest degradation. Sat. i. 4. 
 110. Sisenna, when upbraided once with 
 the conduct of his wife, said — I married her 
 at the command of Augustus. 
 
 9. Postquam, Sfc] When they could not 
 make up their quarrel — or come to any terms 
 of agreement. 
 
 10. Hoc etenim, §e.] For the obstinate,

 28. Turn Prcenest. 8fc] Then against Per- 
 sius, thus flowing salt and full, the King of 
 Praeneste retorts some abuse, gathered from 
 the vineyards, like a hard and invincible 
 vine- clipper, before whom the traveller had 
 often retreated, shouting aloud cuckoo ! — The

 set up in gardens to keep off the birds has 
 degenerated into the scare-crow of the corn-

 NOTES. 
 
 6. Arundo.] A bundle of reeds, or flags, 
 on his head, which waved in the wind to 
 frighten the birds. 
 
 7- Novis in hortis.'] Recently laid out by 
 Maecenas. The spot had been, before Maece- 
 nas obtained a grant of it, the common burial- 
 ground for slaves, &c. Epod. 5. 100. 
 
 8. Hue prius, fyc] Here, before the place 
 was converted into gardens, or ornamental 
 plantations, the dead bodies of slaves thrown 
 out of their wretched abodes to be carried to 
 this place, their fellow-slaves used to deposit 
 in miserable coffins. 
 
 Ejecta.'] Expressive of the contemptuous 
 manner in which the funeral rites of slaves 
 were disregarded. 
 
 Cellis.] Their sleeping holes. 
 
 9. Arcd.] Coffins made of a few planks 
 nailed together. 
 
 10. Hoc, 8fc.~\ This too was the common 
 tomb for the miserable — for such as had none 
 to bury them with the usual rites — for Pan- 
 tolabus and Nomentanus. 
 
 11. Pantolabo, Sfc] These persons were 
 still living, Sat. ii. 1. 19.; but by their pro- 
 fligacy had brought themselves to the lowest 
 degradation — to be buried at last among 
 slaves. 
 
 Pantolabo.] According to the Scholiasts, 
 this was one Mallius Verna, a man of family, 
 and once of fortune, who obtained the nick 
 name of Pantolabus, from borrowing of every 
 body. 
 
 Nomentano.] Sat. i. 105. Vappa and ne- 
 bulo, Sat. ii. 1. 22; ii. 3. 24. 
 
 12. Mille, Sfc] Here a pillar with an 
 inscription denned a spot of ground for a 
 common burial-place, of one thousand feet in 
 breadth, and three hundred in depth — not to 
 follow the heirs — i. e. over which spot the 
 heirs of the domain were to have no right. 
 
 This space so reserved and appropriated was 
 the spot covered by Maecenas's new palace 
 and plantations. The Esquilian hill must 
 thus have once been private property. 
 
 Cippus.] The small column which bore 
 the inscription defining the limits of the spot 
 dedicated to the purposes of a common bu- 
 rial-ground — in this way : IN. FR. P. — IN. 
 AG. P. — i. e. in fronte pedum — in agrum 
 pedum ; to which were added the usual words, 
 H. M. H. EX. T. N. S.— i. e. hoc monumen- 
 tum hceredes ex testamento ne sequatur. 
 
 14. Nunc licet.] Now people may live on 
 the Esquilian in health — the air of the place, 
 once poisoned with the exhalations of the 
 burial-ground, is now wholesome. 
 
 15. Spatiari.] And promenade on the 
 sunny terrace, &c. 
 
 Aggere.] The hill — the word is applied 
 to any elevated place, natural or artificial. 
 
 Qua modo, fyc] Where not long ago in 
 sadness they (those who crossed the hill) be- 
 held the ground covered with bones, &c. 
 
 17. Quum, Sfc] Though thieves — and 
 birds of prey accustomed to frequent the 
 place (when it was a burial-ground) and 
 which still visit it, do not cause me so much 
 trouble as the women, &c. Quum is connected 
 thus — Now (nunc) the Esquilian is habitable, 
 and bones no longer cover the ground, though 
 (quum) I am annoyed by Canidia, &c. Pri- 
 apus speaks of present or recent occurrences 
 — since the burial-place was converted into 
 pleasure-grounds. He was not stationed there 
 while it was a common charnel-ground. 
 
 Fures.] To plunder the fruits of the gar- 
 dens — apparently. 
 
 Ferce.] The wild birds of prey, as well 
 as carnivorous animals, accustomed (suetcv) 
 to frequent the place, and still expecting to 
 find prey.

 NOTES. 
 
 19. Quae versant, fyc.] The veneficce, who 
 with their charms and poisons fascinate and 
 bend to their purposes the minds of men. 
 Epod. v. 20. 
 
 20. Has, Sfc] These — such as Canidia 
 and Sagana — I cannot get rid of, nor prevent 
 them, as soon as the moon rises, from col- 
 lecting bones, &c. Bones then might still 
 be picked up ; and the usual plants were 
 growing. The gardens might still be in an 
 unfinished state — or the bones were found by 
 digging. 
 
 21. Decorum protulit, fyc] At the full. 
 23. Succinctam, fyc] With a black dress, 
 
 tucked up, and girt round her — expedita. 
 Epod. v. 25. 
 
 25. Majore.] An older woman than Ca- 
 nidia — or older with reference to a younger 
 sister, according to the Schol. Cruq. 
 
 Ululantem.] Howling or shrieking — like 
 the dogs in the suite of Hecate. Virg. Mn. 
 vi. 257- 
 
 Pallor, Sfc] They were both dreadfully — 
 fearfully pale. 
 
 20. Scalpere, Sfc] They began to scratch 
 up the earth with their nails, and tear in 
 pieces with their teeth a black lamb. The 
 victims offered to the Dii inferi were all 
 black. 
 
 28. Cruor, Sfc.~] The blood of the lamb 
 
 was poured, along with other things, into the 
 hole, which they had dug with their nails. 
 
 Inde, 8fc.~\ From this hole, or rather, by 
 these means — by these veneficial rites. 
 
 29. Animas.'] In apposition with manes — 
 i. e. the spirits of the dead, to give the an- 
 swers for which they were summoned, &c. 
 
 30. Lanea, Sfc] There were two figures, one 
 of wool, the other of wax. The woollen one 
 was the larger, ready to destroy the smaller. 
 The waxen one stood like a suppliant — in the 
 manner of one that was soon to perish like a 
 slave. Compare Virg. Eel. viii. 80. 
 
 Major, 8fc.~\ The woollen one was the 
 representative of Canidia, who desired to 
 secure the affections of the person represented 
 by the waxen figure. Virg. Eel. viii. 75.

 NOTES. 
 
 SATIRE IX. 
 
 The poet describes the annoyance he suf- 
 fered from a person who fastened himself upon 
 him, to get an introduction to Maecenas. 
 
 1. Fid sacrd.~\ The street led from the 
 Forum to the Capitol, and was a place much 
 frequented bv loungers. Epod. 4. 7; Epod. 
 7.8. 
 
 2. Nugarum.] By these trifles are meant, 
 probably, some verses which he was manu- 
 facturing — or musing upon. Ep. ii. 2. 141. 
 
 Totus.] Quite absorbed by them. 
 
 4. Rerum.] The construction is Quid rerum 
 agis, dulcissime ? As in Plaut. Capt. ii. 3. 16. 
 Quid rerum hie agitur ? and Terence, Eun. v. 
 4. 1. Reviso, quidnam Chcerea rerum hie ge- 
 rat, $c. 
 
 5. Ut nunc est.] Scil. status rerum. Pretty 
 well, as times go. A common colloquial ex- 
 pression, used en passa?it, without any inten- 
 tion on the part of the speaker to discuss them. 
 
 Et cupio.] And I hope every thing with 
 you is as you wish. Merely complimentary. 
 
 6. Quum assectaretur.] When — notwith- 
 standing I had shewn no inclination to stop 
 —he followed close, or kept abreast. 
 
 Num quid, <yc] I anticipate him — oi la- 
 
 ther, I ask him, as if I was in haste to go on : 
 Any thing the matter ? — any commands ? — 
 do you want any thing with me before I go ? 
 Terence, Eun. ii. 3. 50. 
 
 7- Noris nos.] I wish you knew me — i. e. 
 what sort of person I am. I am a man of 
 education. 
 
 Hie ego, Sfc] To this, I reply — I shall 
 value you the more for that. 
 
 8. Misere.] Miserably — colloquial for ex- 
 cessively, with reference to matters which 
 occasion annoyance. 
 
 10. Quum sudor, fyc] While the sweat 
 was running down to my heels — impatient of 
 the annoyance. Happy Bolanus, said I to 
 myself. 
 
 11. Bolane.] Somebody, of course, who 
 made no ceremony about shaking off trouble- 
 some persons. 
 
 Cerebri felicem .'] Equivalent to cerebro- 
 sus. Sat. i. 5. 2. 
 
 12. Quum quidlibet, §c] When he went on 
 prating of every thing — praising the streets, 
 the city ; and I made no reply. You are 
 sadly desirous of getting away, says he ; I saw 
 that long ago. But it is of no use ; I shall 
 stick by you ; I shall accompany you. Which 
 way are you going ?

 XOTES. 
 
 31. Hunc, fyc] This boy — meaning Ho- 
 race — neither poisons, &c. 
 
 Hosticus ensis.] Horace escaped without 
 a wound in the battle of Philippi. Od. ii. 
 7- 10. 
 
 32. Laterum dolor. ,] Pleurisy. 
 
 33. Quandocunque.] Some time or other 
 — sooner or later. 
 
 35. Ad Vesta.'] Scil. adem. To Vesta's 
 — a frequent ellipse; as we talk of going to 
 St. Paul's, meaning the cathedral of St. Paul. 
 
 Vesta.] Vesta's was near the Forum, 
 where were the courts of justice. Not Numa's 
 temple of Vesta, which was nearer the river. 
 Od. i. 2. 16. 
 
 Quarto, parte, §c] That is, according to 
 the English mode of reckoning, it was nine 
 o'clock — the hour at which the courts 
 opened. 
 
 36. Et casu, fyc] And it so happened, he 
 was bound to answer to his bail — or rather, to 
 answer to the charge of the person who had 
 compelled him to give bail for his appearance. 
 
 37- Quod ni fecisset, #c] Unless he had 
 done so — unless he appeared, he must lose 
 his cause — i. e. judgment would go by default. 
 
 38. Si me amas.] The scanning must be 
 si m£ amas, like Virg. Eel. viii. 108. 
 
 Inteream.] May I die — a common exple- 
 tive — if I am able to stand (as he might be 
 obliged to do from the crowded state, or from 
 the custom of the court) ; or know any thing 
 about law-matter-. 
 
 40. Et propero, fyc] And I am hastening 
 you know where — to the other side of the 
 Tiber. 
 
 41. Rem.] The cause — leave you or the 
 cause — i. e. let you slip through my fingers, 
 whom I have so long wished to catch — or let 
 the cause take its chance. 
 
 Me.] Scil. relinque. 
 
 42. Et pracedere.] And begins to step on 
 — lead on. 
 
 43. Macenas, 8$c] Then resuming the 
 conversation — and coming to what was with 
 him the main point. 
 
 Quomodo tecum ?] How do you and Mae- 
 cenas get on ? — How do you stand with him 
 — i. e. as to personal influence ? He is not 
 every body's company — few are honoured 
 with his intimacy, and those only men of 
 talent. You have played your cards well, Ho- 
 race ; but if you desired to push your interests 
 with him, and would introduce me, I could 
 be of great service to you. May I perish if 
 you would not soon oust them all, and take 
 the first place. — It is the language of a man 
 aware of the difficulty of approaching such a 
 person as Maecenas, but calculating upon ac- 
 complishing his object, through Horace, by 
 affecting to place himself at his devotion. 
 The whole is susceptible perhaps of a different 
 interpretation, but the one here given seems 
 to hang together better than any other. 
 
 44. Paucorum hominum.] The phrase has 
 a peculiar cast, and is probably allusive to

 NOTES. 
 
 Horace defends the opinions he had ex- 
 pressed in the fourth Satire, relative to Luci- 
 lius, but at the same time liberally acknow- 
 ledges the merits of the poet — interspersing 
 some general directions for satirical compo- 
 sition. 
 
 1. Nempe, SfC.'] Well, I did say that Luci- 
 lius made rough verses. Nempe refers to some 
 lines in the fourth Satire, and especially the 
 eighth line — durus componere versus. The 
 word nempe is by some supposed to refer to 
 the first sentence of the following lines, which, 
 if they were written at all by Horace, seem 
 to have no other claim to be placed at the 
 head of this Satire, than that they relate to 
 Lucilius : — 
 
 Lucili, quam sis mendosus, teste Catone, 
 Defensore tuo, pervincam, qui male factos 
 Emendare parat versus. Hoc lenius Me, 
 Quo melior vir adest, longe subtilior Mo, 
 Qui multum puer et loris et funibus udis 
 Exhortatus, ut esset, opem qui f err e poetis 
 Antiquis posset contra fastidia nostra, 
 Grammaticorum equitum doctissimus. Ut 
 redeam illuc. 
 
 Nempe.~\ The word couples awkwardly with 
 ut redeam illuc; but, as a commencement, it is 
 spirited. 
 
 2. Quis tarn, 8fc.~] Who is so absurdly the 
 patron of Lucilius as not to confess this 1 In- 
 eptus for inepte est corrects an awkward con- 
 struction. 
 
 3. At idem, 8fc.~\ But in the same satire 
 (the fourth of this book) he is praised for rub- 
 bing up — for lashing the vices of the town. 
 
 Sale multo.~\ I. e. Multd cum liberiate, like 
 
 the writers of the Old Comedy— -facetus, emunc- 
 tcB naris — shrewd and sharp. Sat. i. 4. 5. and 7- 
 
 4. Urbem defricuit. ~\ Compare Persius i. 
 114. Lucilius secuit urbem. 
 
 5. Nee tamen, fyc.~\ Nor, while allowing 
 him this merit, could I grant him every thing 
 else — that he had every other virtue of a poet. 
 Quint, x. 1. 
 
 Nam sic, <yc] For so — i. e. if I did, I must 
 admire the Mimes of Laberius as beautiful 
 poems, though their sole aim was to raise a 
 laugh. 
 
 6. Laberi.'] Decimus Laberius, a Ro- 
 man knight, who was induced by Caesar to 
 act on the stage his own pieces. Suet. Caesar 
 39. But the characteristics of Laberius's Mi- 
 mes — coarse humour and offensive personal- 
 ity — may be best gathered from Macrobius, 
 Sat. ii. 7- and vii. 3 ; and Aul. Gellius, xvii. 
 14. 
 
 7- Risu diducere, fyc] To draw wide apart 
 the jaws of the auditor — to raise a horse- 
 laugh. 
 
 Ergo non satis, 8fc.~\ Therefore it is not 
 enough to set folks a laughing — as if that was 
 the sum of Laberius's merits, and the chief 
 one of Lucilius. 
 
 8. Hie quoque, 8fC.~\ Yet in this — in raising 
 a laugh, there is some merit (virtus). 
 
 9. Est brevitate, §e.~] A good poem, or 
 satire rather, requires brevity, i. e. of style, 
 that the sense or construction of the sentence 
 may run, and not encumber the ears wearied 
 with o'erlabouring words — that the sense may 
 strike the ears at once. In Lucretius, erat 
 quod tollere velles. Sat. i. 4. 11. 
 
 11. Et sermone, $fc~\ Sometimes severe, 
 and often sprightly — now like that of the 
 orator, and now like that of the poet, and

 NOTES. 
 
 sometimes like that of the well-bred man of 
 good society — tempering the stern and strong 
 language of indignation with banter and rail- 
 lery. 
 
 14. Ridiculum.] Ridicule often settles a 
 matter more effectually than severity. 
 
 15. Plerumque.] Often. Ep. ad Pis. 14. 
 and 95. 
 
 Iff. //// quibus, <yc] Instead of illi viri, 
 quibus. Sat. i. 4. 2. 
 
 17. Hoc stabant, <yc] On this — this use 
 of ridicule made to bear upon grave matters — 
 they stood. This was the ground of their 
 popularity and success. 
 
 Hoc, fyc.~\ In this they deserve to be imi- 
 tated. 
 
 Quos, Sfc] Poets, whom Hermogenes never 
 read, nor that ape — scil. of Hermogenes, per- 
 haps — taught to sing nothing but Calvus and 
 Catullus — that is, none but amatory poets. 
 
 Pulcher.~\ Ironically, of course. Horace 
 would no more seriously speak of Hermoge- 
 nes as a handsome man, than as a man of 
 sense. Sat. i. 2. 3. 
 
 18. Simius.] Said by the Schol. to have 
 meant one Demetrius, a player, and called an 
 ape from his contemptible figure. Compare 
 line 90. 
 
 19. Calvum.] An amatory poet, coupled 
 also by Ovid with Catullus. Trist. ii. 481. 
 
 Catullum.] Catullus, whose poetical remains 
 are well-known, was a native of Verona, and 
 died 713 U. C. at the age of 4G. 
 
 20. At magnum, fyc] But he did much — 
 it was a fine thing to blend, as he did, Greek 
 words with Latin. This of course is urged by 
 tbe bigotted admirers of Lucilius. 
 
 21. O seri, fyc] O blockheads ! how can 
 you think that to be difficult or admirable, 
 which Pitholeon of Rhodes did ? 
 
 Seri studiorum.] Strictly, persons initiated 
 in literature late in life, who, of course, gene- 
 rally make but miserable work of it. 'Oxpi- 
 fiaSreTg, opposed to 7rai5o[ia$reic., is equivalent 
 to dunces. 
 
 22. Pitholeonti.] Said by the Scholiast to 
 have been the writer of some absurd epigrams 
 mixed up of Greek and Latin phrases. 
 
 23. At sermo, <yc] But a style constructed 
 of phrases from both languages is, like Faler- 
 nian with Chian, the sweeter. 
 
 24. Nota Falerni.] I. e. Falernian wine. 
 The nota was the inscription on the amphora, 
 which marked the age of the wine — by the 
 names of the consuls. Od. ii. 3. 8. 
 
 Chio.] Od. iii. 19. 5. 
 
 25. Quum, Sfc] When you make verses — 
 I put the question to yourself — or, when you 
 have the tough cause of Petillius to plead, 
 would you think it better to mingle Greek with 
 your Latin — or truly, when Pedius Poplicola 
 wrestles with his causes, or Corvinus, would 
 you rather that those orators, forgetful of their 
 country and their mother- tongue, should min- 
 gle foreign words with their native ones, like 
 the men of Canusium ? 
 
 Te ipsum.] One of Lucilius's defenders, 
 who approves of the " confusion of tongues." 
 
 26. Dura.] Difficult to be sustained — 
 Petillius's, or any other of equal difficulty. 
 
 Rei Petilli.] Petillius charged with the 
 crime of stealing the crown from Jupiter's 
 statue in the Capitol, and thence, perhaps, 
 styled Capitolinus, sarcastically. Sat. i. 4. 99.

 NOTES. 
 
 27. Oblitos.'] Scil. Pedium and Corvinum, 
 and in construction with intermiscere. 
 
 28. Pedius atque Corvinus.~\ Two of the most 
 distinguished orators of Rome. Pedius seems 
 to have been the colleague of Octavius in the 
 consulate, on the death of Hirtius and Pansa, 
 711 U. C. and the author of the Lex Pedia, 
 relative to the assassins of Caesar. 
 
 29. Corvinus.] M. Valerius Corvinus, an 
 orator of higher reputation than Pedius. 
 Quintilian, x. 1. classes him with the best 
 orators of the Republic. Horace calls him 
 disertus in Ep. ad Pis. 370. 
 
 Petita foris.] Fetched from abroad — 
 foreign. 
 
 30. Canusini.] A native of Canusium in 
 Apulia — a town founded by Diomedes, a 
 Greek, where both languages were spoken, 
 or rather, perhaps, a mixture of both ; as was 
 probably the case through the whole of Mag- 
 na Graecia. Sat. i. 5. 9. 
 
 31. Atqui, Sfc] Not only is such a blend- 
 ing of the languages offensive to good taste — 
 but I have high authority against a Roman 
 writing Greek. When I, a native of Italy, 
 was once making Greek verses, Quirinus for- 
 bade me, &c. 
 
 Natus citra, fyc] Not on the other side 
 of the Ionian sea, i. e. not in Greece, but on 
 this side, i. e. in Italy. 
 
 32. Vetuit, fyc] Forbade my making 
 Greek verses — a fortiori mixing lip Greek 
 with his own native Latin. 
 
 Tali voce.] I. e. with the words " In 
 silvam non," &c. 
 
 33. Post mediam, fyc] This opinion — of 
 course a popular one — is frequently expressed 
 
 by the poets. Tibull. iii. 4. Ovid, Heroid. 
 xix. 195. 
 
 34. In silvam, fyc] You would not more 
 foolishly carry, &c. It would be as idle an act 
 to carry timber to a forest, as wish to swell 
 the ranks of Greek poets. 
 
 In silvam ligna.] Proverbial — like coals 
 to Newcastle. 
 
 36. Turgidus, Sfc] While Alpinus cuts 
 the throat of Memnon — i. e. describes the 
 death of Memnon, killed by Achilles, and by 
 his clumsy execution kills him anew. 
 
 Alpinus.] The same poet seems to be 
 alluded to in Ep. ad Pison. 18. 
 
 37- Defingit, Sfc] And describes the clear 
 springs of the Rhine, and by the same lack 
 of skill defiles them with mud. While read- 
 ing diffingit, the Schol. interprets — not be- 
 cause the Rhine has a muddy source, but the 
 poet himself, by his miserable description, 
 makes it so. 
 
 Defingit] So describes as to convey 
 false impressions — does not paint nature ac- 
 curately — makes the source of the Rhine, 
 which is limpid, turbid. 
 
 Hcec ego ludo, §c] I speak these verses 
 of mine — not to be echoed in the temple of 
 Apollo in competition with those of other 
 poets, and in the presence of Tarpa — the 
 mighty critic. 
 
 38. Tarpa.] Metius, or Ma2cius Tarpa, is 
 said by the Schol. to have been a frequent 
 attendant at these recitations, in the temple 
 of Apollo, or the Muses — a man whose judg- 
 ment was potential, and from which there 
 lay no appeal. Ep. ad Pis. 387- 
 
 39. Nee redeant, Sfc] Nor to return again,

 the class may be. Ep. ad Pis. 32. 
 
 Fundani.] No other testimony of Funda- 
 nius has survived. Horace notices him again, 
 Sat. ii. 8. 19. 
 
 Pollio.] The deeds of kings in tragedies.

 Forte epos.] The epic — called forte from 
 the vigour required to sustain the long and 
 continuous effort.

 applied to humbler attempts. Ep. ii. 1. 225. 
 Horace himself applies dicere to the higher 
 efforts of poetry. Carm. Sasc. 8. 
 
 Molle.] The soft and delicate description 
 of rustic matters. 
 
 Facetum.] The word seems to express 
 
 propriety, grace, and ease. Quintilian says 
 expressly with reference to this passage, the

 This — the writing of satire — was what I 
 could do better than Varro Atacinus, and 
 some others, who have attempted it in vain. 
 
 Varrone, Sfc] P. Terentius Varro, of Nar- 
 bonne, called Atacinus, from the river Atax, 
 now Aude. He was reputed a good poet, 
 but unsuccessful in satire. 
 
 48. Inventore.] Though I am inferior to 
 the inventor — meaning Lucilius. Still En-

 Neque, fyc] Nor could I dare to pluck 
 from his brow the chaplet that covers it with

 Q. HORATII FLACCI 
 
 An non deridet Ennii versus 
 quosdam leviores, quando lo- 
 quitur de seipso haud tanquam 
 perfectiore iis quos carpit ? 
 Quid pariter impedit nos scripta 
 Lucilii evolventes disquirere, an

 Dico igitur : Esto, fuerit Lucilius

 Grsecis baud tentati, et quam

 NOTES. 
 
 cilius himself think nothing written by Ac- 
 cius requires to be amended 1 
 Comis.'] Ironically, of course. 
 
 54. Non ridet, fyc] Does not he ridicule 
 the verses of Ennius as deficient in dignity 
 or energy ? 
 
 55. Quum de se, Sfc] When he speaks 
 of himself — is it not as of one superior to the 
 poets whom he censures ? 
 
 56. Quid vetat, Sfc] What forbids myself 
 to inquire, when I read the writings of Lu- 
 cilius, whether the talents of the man, or the 
 difficult nature of his subjects refused to sup- 
 ply him with better and smoother verses than 
 those of a man who (satisfied with the bare 
 feat of packing syllables in metre) loves to 
 make two hundred, &c. 
 
 62. Quale, fyc] Such as were the powers 
 of Cassius. 
 
 Cassi.'] Distinguished by the word Etrus- 
 can, as well as by reputation, from Cassius 
 Parmensis. Ep. i. 4. 3. Cassius Parmensis 
 was a tragic poet of considerable celebrity — 
 one of the assassins of Caesar. Of Cassius 
 Etruscus nothing is known, but of his fertility, 
 and from this source. 
 
 63. Capsis quem, fyc] Whose funeral pile 
 is said to have been constructed of the works 
 of his own pen, and the cases which con- 
 tained thein. 
 
 64. Fuerit Lucilius, fyc] Suppose, then, I 
 say, Lucilius to have been as comis and urbanus 
 as his admirers insist — suppose he was more 
 correct than Ennius and a crowd of dramatic 
 poets, yet, had he been born in our days, he 
 would have pared away from his writings, &rc. 
 
 66. GrcBcis intacti, fyc] Of a class of 
 poetry not attempted by the Greeks — al- 
 luding to Ennius's Roman Annals, written 
 with historical fidelity. 
 
 67- Sed ille.] Ille is referrible to Lucilius 
 — not to Ennius. The author's point is that, 
 though Lucilius might make better verses 
 than Ennius, and others, his predecessors, yet 
 had he lived to the days of Horace, he would 
 have made better still — he would have made 
 them smoother and more correct. Lucilius 
 died 650 U. C. If Ennius be understood by 
 ille, the implication will be that Lucilius in 
 the same circumstances would not have done 
 what Ennius would ; and this there is no 
 reason to suppose was Horace's meaning. 
 The faults imputed to Lucilius are those of 
 his age. 
 
 71. Vivos.] To the quick. 
 
 72. Scepe stilum, fyc] Do you who pro- 
 pose to write what is worthy to be read, often 
 turn your stilus — i. e. erase and correct. The 
 stilus was pointed at one end, and flattened 
 at the other. The writer wrote with the

 SATIRE I. 
 
 In this prologue to the Second Book of Sa- 
 tires, the poet affects to hold a grave confer- 
 ence with Trebatius, as to whether he shall 
 continue to write Satires — a vocation to which 
 he declares himself as naturally impelled as 
 Milonius to dancing, when drunk, &c. 
 
 1. Nimis acer.~\ Like a dog who barks 
 and snaps at all he meets. 
 
 2. Legem.'] The custom — the degree of 
 freedom usually assumed or allowed in writ- 
 ings of this class. Not the law of libel ; for 
 the poet does not put a legal question to Tre- 
 batius, nor does Trebatius reply like a lawyer, 
 except in tone and manner, but as a friend, 
 or brother poet. It is only at last, when all 
 arguments of prudence fail, that he reminds 
 him of the lihel-law, and of the penalty he 
 incurs by violating it. 
 
 Tendere opus.~\ Instead of intendere, as the 
 word is used for eHendere in Ep. i. 5. 11. 
 Opus is the composition, or materials of his 
 Satires. 
 
 8 
 
 Sine nervis.] Without force or vigour — 
 as if his satire was tame and spiritless — sine 
 pondere et arte. Ep. ad Pis. 320. 
 
 3. Composui.] Put together — composed — 
 written. 
 
 Altera pars.] For alii — another set of my 
 critics or censurers. 
 
 4. Deduci.] Sat. i. 10. 44. 
 
 Trebati.] Caius Trebatius Testa, a law- 
 yer of eminence. He had been with Caesar 
 in the wars of Gallia Transalpina — introduced 
 to him by Cicero, and commended by him for 
 his legal knowledge and general talents. The 
 letter is still extant in which he describes him, 
 though Trebatius must then have been a young 
 man, as one who familiam ducit in jure civili 
 — that is, as one who was at the head of his 
 profession. Cicero's Letters, in Lib. vii. from 
 to 23, are addressed to Trebatius. 
 
 5. Prescribe.] Advise. 
 
 Quiescas.] Be quiet — oracularly, like a 
 lawyer, without assigning reasons. 
 
 7. Dormire.] As if he wrote verses only 
 to beguile his wakefulness.

 NOTES. 
 
 Uncti.~] Rubbed with oil apparently for 
 swimming. Od. iii. 12. 6. Though, as swim- 
 ming usually concluded the gymnastics of the 
 Campus Martius, for which, especially for 
 wrestling, the parties were oiled, the spirit of 
 Trebatius's reply may be — let them tire them- 
 selves down with the exercises of the Campus 
 ■ — which terminate with swimming. 
 
 9. Sub noctem.] At night — before going 
 to bed. 
 
 Irriguum mero.~\ Well soaked. This ad- 
 vice, as well as that with respect to swimming, 
 is in accordance with Trebatius's own habits. 
 Cicero's Epist. vii. 10 and 22. 
 
 11. Ccesaris.] Octavius Caesar — styled 
 Augustus by a decree of the Senatus, 727> 
 U. C. ; but still from old habits, or regard, 
 often afterwards spoken of by the old name 
 as is, apparently, the case here. 
 
 12. Laturus.] Expressive of the effect — 
 you will be sure to be liberally repaid. 
 
 Cupidum.~\ Scil. me. Though desirous 
 enough, I have not the power — the talents. 
 
 Pater.~] A title of respect — uttered with 
 a smile. 
 
 13. Horrentia, fyc] Bristling with spears 
 — or with bristling spears. Virg. iEn. x. 178. 
 
 Neque quivis, fyc.~] It is not every body 
 who can describe, &c. Trebatius is himself 
 said to have done something of the kind — to 
 which, it is possible, Horace alludes. 
 
 Pilis agmina, Sfc] That is, the Roman 
 troops — and the Gauls and Parthians defeated 
 by Augustus. Such is the meaning plainly 
 suggested by the context — for Trebatius ad- 
 vises the poet to celebrate the achievements of 
 Augustus. Personally Augustus was engaged 
 with neither Gauls nor Parthians ; but under 
 his auspices the revolted Gauls of Aquitania 
 were reduced in 726, U. C. In 730 U. C. the 
 
 rival chiefs of the Parthians, Tiredates and 
 Phraates appealed to him, and in 734 Phra- 
 ates restored the standards of Crassus — both 
 which circumstances were regarded as proofs 
 of submission by the Romans, and equivalent 
 to victories. The poem must therefore have 
 been written after 730, and perhaps after 734. 
 
 14. Fractd.~\ Scil. in corpore. Broken in 
 the body of the Gauls — the points left stick- 
 ing in them ; — as Plutarch relates was the 
 case in the battles of Marius with the Cimbri. 
 
 15. Labentis equo.] That is, falling from 
 their horses, in consequence of their wounds. 
 The Parthian forces consisted mainly of ca- 
 valry. 
 
 16. Fortem.~] One who prosecutes noble 
 purposes bravely and firmly. 
 
 Attamen, fyc] The words of Trebatius. 
 
 Justum.] Scil. Casarem. 
 
 17- Scipiadam.'] Virgil has the same form. 
 Georg. ii. 170 ; ^En. vi. 844. 
 
 Ut sapiens LuciHus.~\ As Lucilius wisely 
 did Scipio. According to the Scholiast, Lu- 
 cilius described the private life, as Ennius had 
 done the ivars, of the elder Scipio Africanus, 
 but the younger Scipio Af. seems here meant, 
 (compare 72) whose friendship with Laelius 
 is commemorated by Cicero, de Senect. 
 
 17. Lucilius.'] Sat. i. 10. 
 
 Haud mihi deero.] I. e. I will do so. — The 
 man who does all in his power for the accom- 
 plishment of an object is said non sibi deesse. 
 Sat. i. 9. 55. 
 
 18. Quum res ipsa, Sfc] When circum- 
 stances shall themselves lead — shall prompt. 
 When I have a fair opportunity, &c. 
 
 Dextro tempore.] In some auspicious hour 
 — when the affairs of the state shall leave him 
 at leasure to listen to verses of mine.

 NOTES. 
 
 20. Cui, Sfc] Like a high-spirited horse, 
 that, if you pat him when he is not in a hu- 
 mour to be patted, throws out his heels with- 
 out ceremony. 
 
 Undique tutus.'] On his guard against adu- 
 lation, Augustus will soon show his contempt 
 for ill-timed expressions of it. 
 
 21. Hoc.'] I. e. to describe the virtues of 
 Caesar, as Trebatius advises in line 16. 
 
 Tristi.] What produces sad effects — ex- 
 citing rage and resentment. Od. i. 16. 9. 
 
 22. Pantolabum.] Sat. i. 8. 11. 
 
 23. Sibi quisque timet.] For it may be his 
 turn next. 
 
 Intactus.] Unhurt — unstruck — not no- 
 ticed in your Satires. 
 
 Et odit.] Scil. Satires, and the writers of 
 them. 
 
 24. Quid faciam ?] What can I do, but 
 make verses ? Every one has his particular 
 taste — his natural gifts. Milonius drinks and 
 dances — Castor drives — Pollux boxes ; and I 
 delight in writing like Lucilius. 
 
 Ut semel.] For simul ac. 
 
 Icto.] Scil. with wine ; as if the force of 
 it had struck his head. Cicero says, Pro Mu- 
 raena6: No man in his sober senses ever thinks 
 of dancing. 
 
 25. Numerusque, Sfc] When he sees dou- 
 ble — the effect of ebriety. Juven. vi. 304; 
 Ovid, Am. Art. iii. 764. 
 
 26. Castor, 8fc] Od. i. 12. 2,"). 
 
 Ovo prognatus, Sfc ] Pollux, the brother of 
 C istor— hatched from the .same eggs. Their 
 
 mother, Leda, was visited by Jupiter in the 
 form of a swan. 
 
 27- Quot capitum, Sfc] Compare Ter. 
 Phorm. ii. 4. 14 ; Homer Odyss. xiv. 228. 
 
 28. Pedibus claudere.] Sat. i. 10. 59. 
 
 29. Melioris, fyc] Superior to both of us, 
 not as to versification, but in birth and for- 
 tune. Lucilius was the grand-father or grand- 
 uncle of Pompey. Horace might, in mock 
 modesty, say Lucilius was a better poet than 
 himself, as he has done, in effect, in line 75, 
 but hardly without offence say so of Treba- 
 tius to his face. But Horace has already, in 
 Sat. i. 4. and 10. shewn plainly enough what 
 his real opinion of Lucilius was. Horace's 
 meaning seems to be — Lucilius, a man of 
 family and fortune did not disdain to write 
 Satires, and why should 1 1 
 
 30. Ille, Sfc] Whatever befell him, good 
 or ill, he committed to his papers, as his faith- 
 ful friends, so that his whole story is as well 
 known as if it were inscribed in a votive tablet. 
 
 31. Neque unquam, Sfc] Never betaking 
 himself to other confidants than his papers — 
 but recording all in his verses. 
 
 32. Neque si bene.] Scil. cesserat — oc- 
 curred. 
 
 33. Votiva.] Od. 7- 5. 
 
 34. Senis.] Literally so, without doubt. 
 Had he died at forty -six, as is stated on the 
 authority of the Scholiast, he could have been 
 but twenty at the death of Scipio, who ad- 
 mired his Satires, and was fond of his society.

 quippe Venusinus agricola ter-

 admodum antiqua fert opinio) 
 ut hostis per inane non irrueret 
 in Romanos : vel quia natio 
 seu Apulorum seu Lucanorum 
 gravia bella molirentur. Verum 
 aculeus iste meus neminem

 Nee quisquam noceat cupido mihi pacis ! at

 NOTES. 
 
 Sequor hunc, tyc.] Him I imitate — that is, 
 his writings — in the spirit of them, or in his 
 garrulity — in committing to paper every thing, 
 good or bad, important or otherwise. 
 
 Lucanus, fyc.] I do not know whether I 
 am to be called a Lucanian or an Apulian, 
 born as I was at Venusia, a place on the con- 
 fines of the two countries. — Horace perhaps 
 means this apparently unimportant, and not 
 very applicable matter, as a specimen of some- 
 thing like Lucilius's circumstantial gossiping. 
 
 35. Finem sub utrumque.] The lands as- 
 signed to the new colony of Venusia were 
 partly in Lucania, and partly in Apulia. 
 
 36. Missus, Sfc] Sent to Venusia for this 
 purpose, that, after the Samnites were routed, 
 the enemy, whether Samnites, Lucanians, or 
 Apulians, might not attempt to recover or 
 seize the vacant territory — which they would 
 do if it were not colonized or garrisoned by 
 the Romans. 
 
 Vetas est, Sfc] The fajna refers to the de- 
 feat and expulsion of the Samnites — not to 
 the colonization of Venusia, or to the purpose 
 for which it was effected. 
 
 37- Vacuum.] Scil. locum. After the Sam- 
 nites were driven from it. 
 
 Hostis.] The Samnites — to recover their 
 old possessions. 
 
 38. Sive quod, Sfc] Apulian or Lucanian 
 to seize for themselves the unoccupied lands 
 of the Samnites. 
 
 39. Hie stilus, fyc] This pen of mine, 
 employed as it is in the composition of Satires, 
 shall not be the first to attack. It is destined 
 solely for defence. 
 
 41. Destringere, 8fc] If both destringere 
 and distringere be applicable to the act of 
 drawing a sword — destringere must be taken 
 as having no reference to the object for which 
 it is drawn, while distringere will refer to the 
 enemy, and a plurality of enemies. The first 
 apparently expresses Horace's meaning, and 
 is accordingly preferred. Od. iii. 1. 17 ; and 
 Cic. de Off. iii. 31. 
 
 Vagina.] The stilus, a pointed instrument, 
 was kept in a sheath, which assimilates the 
 action to the drawing of a sword. 
 
 42. Latronibus.] His calumniators. Un- 
 less attacked by robbers why should I draw 
 my sword — and unless by libellists, why my 
 stilus ? 
 
 43. Ut pereat, 8fc.~] Ut for utinam. Com- 
 pare, for the sentiment, Catull. lxvi. 48. and a 
 fragment of Callimachus. 
 
 44. Cupido, <yc] Desirous as 1 am of peace. 
 
 45. Me commorit.] Scil. ird. Shall have 
 given me provocation. 
 
 46. Flebit, <yc] Shall weep for it— shall 
 repent of his rashness and insolence. Epod. 
 5. 74. 
 
 Insig?iis.] Shewn up as an object of ridi- 
 cule and contempt. 
 
 47- Cervius, <yc] Horace professes only 
 to retaliate. These persons therefore must 
 have been enraged at the severity with which 
 he had visited their attacks — or threatened to 
 visit them. 
 
 Leges min. et urnam.] He threatens to 
 prosecute. 
 
 Leges.] These are, specifically, against 
 defamation and scandal.

 NOTES. 
 
 Urnam.~] The vase into which the Jurors 
 threw the tabellce, or tabulae. On these tabellce 
 were inscribed the initials of guilty, or not 
 guilty ; and the verdict was determined by 
 the majority. 
 
 48. Canidia.~\ Threatens her enemies with 
 poison — and Horace is one of them. Epod. 
 v. &c. 
 
 Albutu] Depending on venerium., accord- 
 ing to the Scholiast — that is, such poison as 
 one Albutius is said to have used for the de- 
 struction of his wife. But the Scholiasts 
 seem, often, to give their conjectures the form 
 of facts. 
 
 49. Grande malum.] A severe sentence — 
 if Furius is the Judge ; that is, should Cer- 
 vius prosecute Horace in the court where he 
 presides. 
 
 50. Ut, quo, fyc] Well ! this is Nature's 
 dictate — every one to his weapons — Canidia 
 to her poisons, &c. How every one deters 
 his foes, or those he suspects to be so, with 
 the means in his power ; and how Nature, 
 who gives the power, commands the use — thus 
 gather, with me. The wolf, &c. 
 
 51. Hoc] I. e. Thus to use them against 
 their enemies. 
 
 52. Unde, fyc] How comes this about, 
 unless the use was shewn or prompted from 
 within ? 
 
 53. Sccevte.] Trust his aged mother to 
 Scaeva; no deed of violence will his filial hand 
 commit; but hemlock mixed with honey will 
 take the old lady off. That is, though Scaeva 
 
 will not cut her throat, he will poison her. 
 His nature prompts him to dastardly acts. 
 The wolf would as soon use his heel, or the 
 bull his tooth, against an enemy, as Scaeva his 
 hand. Horace does not make light of the 
 matricide — poisoning is a baser act than vio- 
 lence. 
 
 56. Vitiato.] Honey spoilt for wholesome 
 uses, by the mixture of hemlock. 
 
 57. Ne longum, fyc] In short, so it is with 
 me. The pen is my weapon, and I am 
 prompted by nature to use it, in exposing 
 vice, &c. 
 
 59. Fors ita.] Supply si. If fortune 
 should so command, &c. 
 
 60. Scribam.] I must write Satires. 
 Vitce color.] Condition of life — circum- 
 stances. 
 
 Puer.] In line 12, Horace, with a mock 
 solemnity, addressed Trebatius as optimus 
 pater. 
 
 Sis Vitalis.] I am afraid that you will not 
 be long-lived — that this propensity of your's 
 to satire will work your destruction. 
 
 61. Et majorum, fyc] And that some of 
 your grand friends will strike you with their 
 coldness — that is, will look cool upon you, 
 and withdraw their friendship. I am afraid 
 you will offend your best friends. Persius, a 
 diligent imitator of Horace, serves as inter- 
 preter here: I. 109. 
 
 Maj. quis amicus.] Instead of quis majo- 
 rum amicorum — Maecenas, &C.

 NOTES. 
 
 62. Quid ?] Why so ! when, &c. 
 
 63. Hunc operis morem.'] Verses like mine. 
 
 64. Detrahere et pellem.] And strip off 
 that skin, in which, to the eye, every one was 
 spruce and clean, while they were filthy be- 
 neath. Ep. i. 16. 44. 
 
 Detrahere pellem.] To lay bare what was 
 thus hidden — with an allusion to iEsop's ass 
 in the lion's skin. 
 
 Per ora.] In public — in the sight of peo- 
 ple. 
 
 .65. Cederet.] For incederet. Virg. iEn. 
 i. 46. 
 
 Laelius.] Scipio's friend. 
 
 Qui duxit, $c] The younger Scipio Afri- 
 canus. 
 
 67. Ingenio.] His talents, or rather the 
 exercise of them — the freedom and severity 
 with which he exposed vice and folly. 
 
 Metello.] Metellus Macedonicus, who was 
 in active opposition to the measures of Scipio, 
 and whom, it may be supposed, Lucilius was 
 in the habit of showing up — without offend- 
 ing Scipio. Compare Cic. ad Fam. xii. 16. 
 
 Lceso.] Satirized — perhaps libelled by 
 Lucilius. 
 
 68. Lupo.] A Cornelius Lentulus Lupus 
 was Consul, 597 U. C. but nothing is known 
 of him to illustrate the passage. 
 
 Cooperto.] I. e. as if with mud. 
 
 Atqui primores, fyc] As Metellus and 
 Lupus were. 
 
 (V.). Pop. tribulim.] The people, tribe by 
 tribe— or whole tribes together— on account, 
 
 probably, of some disposal of their suffrages 
 — unworthy, or offensive to the Scipio party. 
 Arripuit.] Seized with his teeth, like a 
 dog — railed against them in good set terms. 
 
 70. Mquus.] I. e. sparing none but, &c. 
 Ejus amicis.] And her friends. 
 
 71. Et scend.] From the public stage— 
 the scene of business — the city. 
 
 In secreta.] Scil. loca. The retirement of 
 their country villas. 
 
 72. Virtus Scipiadce.] I. e. the brave Sci- 
 pio. Od. iii. 21. 11. 
 
 Sapientia LcbIi.] The philosophic La?lius. 
 
 73. Nugari cum illo.] Along with Lucilius. 
 Ludere.] Like boys. The old Scholiast 
 
 reports, that once Lucilius with a twisted 
 napkin chased Laelius round the dinner-table 
 to thwack him ; and Cicero says he had heard 
 from his father-in-law, that Scipio and Lae- 
 lius, when they got into the country, incredi- 
 biliter repuerascere esse solitos, Sfc. De Orat. 
 11.6. 
 
 Donee decoq. olus.] Indicative of their 
 simple style of living — not literally olus. Ep. 
 i. 5. 2. 
 
 74. Quidquid, <§r.] And I too — whatever 
 I am — humble as I am in rank, fortune, and 
 talents, and inferior to Lucilius in these re- 
 spects, yet Envy, in spite of herself, must con- 
 fess, that I have always lived with the great — 
 have mixed with as good company as Luci- 
 lius, and am not, therefore, the contemptible 
 person my enemies represent nie — too insig- 
 nificant to wield the pen of satire.

 NOTES. 
 
 77- Et fragili quarens, #c] And seeking, 
 like iEsop's viper, to fix her tooth, &c. 
 Fragili.'] Opposed to the solidum. 
 
 78. Nisi quid, Sfc] The sense seems to 
 be — you, Trebatius, are afraid I shall thus 
 forfeit the good will of Augustus, Maecenas, 
 &c. ; but Lucilius took more liberties with the 
 great than I have done, without offending his 
 noble friends; and therefore I conclude there 
 is no good reason to apprehend the conse- 
 quences you point out — unless you still differ 
 with me, and have more to urge. 
 
 79. Diffindere.] Out of a multitude of 
 readings diffindere is selected, not as corre- 
 sponding in sense with secare, Sat. i. 10. 15. 
 but as being a technical term. Diffindere diem 
 was in use for putting off a cause for another 
 hearing, on some pretence or other. Livy ix. 
 38. In effect Trebatius says, — I can separate 
 nothing from the case for a new hearing — I can 
 detach or reserve no point for farther evidence 
 or discussion. This furnishes a meaning for 
 hinc, which word has not ; in general, been 
 sufficiently regarded. Trebatius expresses an 
 entire admission of Horace's plea, and an ac- 
 knowledgment, as court or counsel, that there 
 is no reason why judgment should not imme- 
 diately pass in his favour. 
 
 80. Ut monitus caveas.] The construction 
 is monitus ut caveas — i. e. esto monitus a me, 
 ut caveas. But however, let me put you on 
 your guard, lest your ignorance of the laws 
 occasion you some trouble. — If, &c. 
 
 81. Sanctarum.] Which require to be 
 obeyed as sacred. 
 
 82. Jus est judiciumque.] I. e. by which 
 
 he may be prosecuted and punished. Judicium 
 expresses the court assigned for the trial of 
 such offences. 
 
 83. Mala.] The equivoque is obvious. In 
 the legal sense mala is libellous. Ep. ii. I. 
 153. 
 
 85. Latraverit.] Latrare, i. e. allatrare 
 aliquem — to bark at, appears to have been a 
 general phrase for vituperation, and less offen- 
 sive than mordere and mordax (Ep. i. 16. 38. 
 and Sat. i. 4. 93.) though metaphors from the 
 same source — dogs. Compare Epod. 6. 1 — 4. 
 
 84. Judice laudatus Casare.] Commended 
 by so excellent a judge of good verses as 
 Caesar (Augustus). 
 
 86*. Solventur risu tabula.] What are these 
 tabula ? If, as is probable, the verses them- 
 selves, or the papers which set forth the libel — - 
 the sense of the passage will be — the indict- 
 ment, if the verses are proved to be good, 
 while charged as bad, and yourself appear to 
 be guiltless of all malice and slander, will be 
 quashed ; the cause will be dismissed amidst 
 the laughter of the court, and you will be dis- 
 charged. If tabula be the laws, or rather 
 the statute on which the libel was indicted, 
 the meaning must be — the law will be declared 
 not to bear upon the case. Or if the tabula 
 be the judges' or rather jurors' tablets, the 
 phrase will express an acquittal by acclama- 
 tion. Instead of being gravely deposited in 
 the urna (line 47), the tabula will be broken 
 up, &c. The case will terminate like the 
 memorable one of Epaminondas in Corn. 
 Nepos. 
 
 Abibis.] I. e. out of court.

 NOTES. 
 
 SATIRE II. 
 
 The poet enforces the virtue of moderation 
 on the authority of Ofellus, a sort of practical 
 philosopher. 
 
 1. Qua virtus, fyc] How great is the vir- 
 tue of moderation — that is, its effects in point 
 of happiness, learn, &c. 
 
 Vivere parvo.] To live at a small expence 
 — to be content with the common conveni- 
 ences of life — in one word, moderation. 
 
 Boni.'} The poet's address to such of his 
 friends as may be disposed to listen to these 
 maxims. 
 
 2. Quce.] Scil. verba — unless quern be 
 preferred, in reference to sermo. 
 
 Ofellus.~] Said by the Scholiast to have 
 been of the party of Cassius, and deprived 
 of his estates by the proscriptions of the 
 triumvirs. 
 
 3. Abnormis.'] A self-taught person — a 
 man who, in ignorance or in contempt of 
 philosophy, gathers wisdom from his own 
 experience. Speaking of philosophers, Ci- 
 cero says, Fabricius and Curius were not ad 
 istorum normam sapientes. De Amic. 18. 
 
 Crdssaque Minervd.] Without the refine- 
 ments and subtilities of philosophy. Minerva, 
 as presiding over intellectual culture, is, by a 
 common metonomy, here put for education. 
 
 4. Non inter, Sfc] Not at a table covered 
 with luxuries, and glittering with splendor. 
 
 Nitentes.'] Scil. with plate. 
 
 5. Quum stupet, fyc] When the eye is 
 dazzled with insane splendors — insane, with 
 
 reference to the folly of those who are de- 
 lighted with magnificence and parade. 
 
 6. Falsis.] To what deludes or beguiles it. 
 
 7. Impransi.] I. e. not in the midst of 
 such seductive attractions. 
 
 Cur hoc.] I. e. Why impransi? Why not 
 in the midst of festive splendor ? 
 
 8. Dicam, Sfc] I will give you a reason, 
 if I can — the mind, perverted by such luxu- 
 ries, like a judge bribed with gold, is in a 
 very unfit state to examine truth. No, tire 
 yourself down by hunting and hard riding, 
 like a Roman, or if such exercises are too 
 robust for you, with tennis, or quoits, like a 
 Greek, and you will require no dainties to 
 excite an appetite. 
 
 9. Equove indomito.] Od. i. 8. 9. 
 
 10. Romana militia.] I. e. hunting, hard 
 riding, &c. — practised as best calculated for 
 enabling youth to sustain the severities of 
 military service. 
 
 Vel, si Romana, Sfc] If Roman exercises 
 are too fatiguing for you, accustomed as you 
 are to Greek sports — i. e. if you prefer Greek 
 sports. 
 
 11. GrcBcari.] To imitate the Greeks — to 
 practise their sports, or exercises. 
 
 Seu pila, fyc] If the flying ball — i. e. some 
 game with the ball, fives, rackets, or the lusus 
 trigonalis, (Sat. i. 7«) give you pleasure, play 
 at that ; or if quoits invite you, strike with 
 them the buxom air, &c. 
 
 12. Molliter, fyc] The ardour of the pur- 
 suit beguiles the severity of the exercise — as 
 if the pila was as sharp and exhausting a 
 labour as hunting or hard riding.

 NOTES. 
 
 was called pulmentaria. The word was thus 
 used for all food not regarded as indispensable. 
 In the progress of luxury, bread, fish, and flesh 
 were taken out of the category, till finally the 
 word came to be employed synonymously, 
 nearly, if not quite, with our made-dishes. 
 Macrob. Satur. vii. 7- Persius iii. 102. 
 
 21. Pinguem, 8{c.~\ Fat and pale — from 
 indolence and excess. 
 
 Ostrea.~\ Scanned as a Spondee, as cerea 
 in Sat. i. 8. 43. 
 
 22. Scarus.'] Epod. 2. 50. 
 Peregrina lagois.~\ Said by one Scholiast 
 
 to be a bird of the colour of a hare, and by 
 another, with the flesh, or of the flavour of 
 one — both, apparently, etymological guesses 
 from Xayuj£. Said also to be a fish, but no- 
 thing, with any certainty, is known about it. 
 
 23. Fix tamen, 8fc.~\ Yet, notwithstanding 
 these obvious truths, if a peacock were placed 
 before you, you would rather, corrupted by 
 vanities as you are, eat of that than of a 
 guinea-fowl, because the scarce bird is costly, 
 and has a splendid tail. 
 
 Eripiam, §c.~\ With difficulty shall I 
 wrench from you the idle notion, that be- 
 cause it is dearer and more beautiful, the 
 peacock must be better than the guinea-fowl. 
 
 24. Tergere palatum, fyc] As if the rarity, 
 or the price, or the beauty, had any thing to 
 do with the flavour. 
 
 25. Vanis rerum.] I. e. vanis rebus. By 
 the illusion of appearances — opposed to es- 
 sentials. 
 
 2fi. Picta pandat, fyc.~] Instead of pivtam 
 raudam panda/ spectaculo. 
 
 14. Quum labor, &;c.~] When these toils 
 shall have driven out your daintiness — shall 
 have brought you an appetite, &c. 
 
 Siccus, 4 - c.] Hungry — thirsty — then scorn 
 common food — of course, ironically. 
 
 15. Nisi, 8fc.~\ Drink nothing but mulsum 
 — disdain a draught of water! 
 
 Hym. mella Fed. diluta.] Honey melted 
 in wine — this was called mulsum, and re- 
 garded as a luxurious beverage. Sat. ii. 4. 
 26. The Hymettian honey was in the highest 
 repute ; and Falernian wine was reckoned one 
 of the best. Od. ii. 6. 14. 
 
 16. Foris est, 8fc] Your butler is abroad, 
 or no fish can be got at for the winds ; no 
 matter — bread and salt will soothe the growl- 
 ing stomach. 
 
 17. Hiemat.] The sea is rough, and pro- 
 tects the fish — none can be caught — fisher- 
 men cannot venture out to sea. 
 
 18 Unde putas, Sfc] From whence, or 
 how acquired, think you ? — i. e. this power 
 of bread and salt to still the barkings of the 
 stomach. From hunger — from yourself. 
 
 19. Non in caro, fyc] Not from costly 
 flavours, but from yourself springs the highest 
 source of enjoyment. 
 
 20. Tu pulmentaria, 8fc] Dy you, then — 
 in contrast with the lazy and luxurious — seek 
 for dainties by labour — as if labour gave a 
 relish to the coarsest food. Hunger is the 
 best sauce. 
 
 Pulmentaria.] The term originated (Varro 
 de L. L. iv. 22.) in times when puis, i. e. a gruel 
 of flour or pulse, formed the staple food, before 
 the use of bread. Whatever was eaten besides

 NOTES. 
 
 Putet.] Not literally, of course — but 
 exciting disgust or nausea, from the satiety or 
 fastidiousness of the Epicure. 
 
 44. Acidas inulas.] Not, says the Scho- 
 liast, that they are themselves acid, but be- 
 cause they are eaten with vinegar. 
 
 Necdum, $c] Nor yet is all poverty exiled 
 from the tables of the great — i. e. all food 
 usually eaten by the poor — eggs and olives 
 are still found there, as well as radishes and 
 salads. 
 
 45. Regum.] Rich and great. Od. i. 4. 
 44. Sat. i. 2. 86. 
 
 Ovis.] Sat. i. 3. 6. 
 
 46. Nigris.] Columella, xii. 48, 49. recom- 
 mends the black or dark olive for pickling. 
 
 47- Mensa infamis.] Strictly, infamis ap- 
 plies to Gallonius. He was the first who 
 introduced the sturgeon to table, and in- 
 curred in consequence the lash of Lucilius's 
 satire. The verses are preserved in Cic. de 
 Fin. ii. 8. The fact is adduced by Ofellus, 
 as an instance of the restless appetite of epi- 
 cures — ever in chase of variety. 
 
 48. Quid? turn, SfC.] Did not the seas 
 produce turbots, then, that sturgeons were 
 caught ? 
 
 49. Tutus erat, 8fc] Turbots themselves 
 were safe — nobody plotted against them — 
 and young storks too — i. e. neither were 
 eaten till a Praetorian set the fashion — taught 
 us to eat them. 
 
 50. Praetorius.] Asinius Sempronius Ru- 
 fus, called a praetorian, ironically. He was 
 once a candidate for the praeturate, but lost 
 it, it is said by the Scholiast, in consequence 
 
 of an epigram in ridicule of his introduction 
 of young storks to table. The people, he 
 adds, thus avenged the death of the storks. 
 
 Ergo, fyc] Therefore — i. e. as such was 
 the influence of Semp. Rufus — if any praetor, 
 or praetorian like him, proclaimed by an edict 
 roasted sea-gulls to be good, the Roman 
 youth, ready to adopt any depravity, would 
 obey the proclamation, eat them, and swear 
 they were so. 
 
 53. Sordidus, fyc] On the other hand, a 
 sordid mode of life, in the judgment of Ofel- 
 lus, will be as far apart from the moderate, as 
 a prodigal one. 
 
 54. Vitium illud.] Prodigality — excess on 
 the side of luxury. Bum vitant, &c. Sat. i. 
 2. 24. 
 
 55. Alio.] To the opposite extreme of 
 sordid meanness. 
 
 Avidienus, Sfc] To whom the nick-name 
 of dog still clings. 
 
 56. Ex vero ductum.] Taken from the 
 truth — truly applicable. Alluding, perhaps, 
 to the dog in the cow's stable, who could 
 neither eat the hay himself, nor would let the 
 cow eat it. 
 
 57- Quinquennes, Sfc] Olives of five years 
 old — of course, worthless. 
 
 Est.] For edit. 'E0OU1. Ep. i. 2. 39. 
 
 58. Mutatum.] And will not use any wine 
 but such as is spoilt — changed into vinegar. 
 
 Defundere.] I. e. from the ampliora. 
 
 Et, cujus, fyc] And though he may he 
 
 celebrating his wedding, or his birth-day, 
 
 or any other festival, he pours out of a horn, 
 
 holding a couple of pounds, upon the vege-

 NOTES. 
 
 tables, oil, the smell of which you cannot en- 
 dure — liberal enough, that is, of his old sour 
 spoilt stuff. 
 
 60. Repotia.] Said by one Scholiast to be 
 held the day after the wedding, when the 
 bridegroom entertained his friends; and by 
 another, the seventh day, that on which the 
 bride visited her relatives. The etymology 
 indicates the renewal of a drinking-bout. 
 
 61. Albatus.] Dressed in white — as was 
 usual on festive occasions. 
 
 63. Quali, #c] What mode of life will 
 the wise man adopt — the moderate man, who 
 observes the evils of both extremes ? 
 
 64. Hac urget lupus, fyc] Not prover- 
 bially, for that would shew the sapiens per- 
 plexed in his choice. But he has no hesita- 
 tion — he will imitate neither, for the prodigal, 
 with a gula Harpyiis digna, is like a wolf, and 
 the sordid like a dog (line 55). 
 
 65. Mundus, fyc] The sapiens will be too 
 nice to offend his friends with filth. 
 
 Atque in neutram partem, fyc] Instead of 
 nee in alteram partem — i. e. nor in the oppo- 
 site direction by his profusion. 
 
 66. Cultus.'] Is taken as a genitive de- 
 pendent on partem. 
 
 Miser.] Ofellus regards the man who 
 offends by profusion as equally miser with 
 him who does so by his sordes. 
 
 Hie, fyc] He, the sapiens, will neither, 
 like old Albutius, be severe in assigning them 
 
 their offices ; nor, like the easy fool Naevius, 
 give his guests greasy water — i. e. suffer his 
 slaves so to treat his guests with impunity. 
 
 67« Albuti.] Said by the Scholiast to have 
 sometimes punished his slaves before they 
 committed any faults, lest he should be too 
 busy to flog them when they did. 
 
 68. Unctam.] Greasy, or otherwise filthy. 
 Sat. ii. 4. 78. 
 
 69. Vitium, 8fc] Such indulgence also is 
 a great fault — as great as excessive severity. 
 
 70. Victus tenuis.] As in line 53 — the 
 frugal — the medium. 
 
 71. In primis, Sfc] It keeps you in health ; 
 for how very injurious variety of food is to 
 anybody, you may well believe, when you 
 recollect that simple diet which used to sit so 
 well upon your stomach — i. e. when you con- 
 trast your condition now, in a period of in- 
 dulgence, with the days when you were con- 
 tent with plain fare. 
 
 Varies res.] A variety of dishes — opposed 
 to the esca simplex. 
 
 73. At simul, Sfc] But as soon as you be- 
 gin to mix roast and boiled — fish and fowl, &c. 
 
 74. Miscueris.] The last syllable length- 
 ened by virtue of the ccesura. 
 
 75. Dulcia, Sfc] The sweets will turn to 
 acids — digestion will be disordered, &c. 
 
 76. Pituita.] Scanned as a trisyllable, as 
 in Ep. i. 1. 108.

 cattle and his sons, thus narrating the details 
 of his life, &c. 
 
 Metato.~\ Passively, as in Od. iii. 15. 15. 
 
 115. Mercede.] Coupled with metato — a 
 small field — a few acres measured out for his 
 use at a price — for which he paid a rent in 
 kind, or in money. 
 
 Fortem.'] Strong and active — or with re- 
 ference to his sturdy spirit, unbroken by mis- 
 fortune. 
 
 116. Non ego, 8fc] The words of Ofellus 
 to the end of the poem. 
 
 Luce profesta.] Work-days — not festivals. 
 Od. iv. 15. 25. 
 
 Non temere, Sfc] Never but on some ex- 
 traordinary occasion, did I on a work-day 
 eat, &c. 
 
 117- Pede per nee.') The knuckle of a 
 smoked ham. 
 
 118. Ac mihi — bene erat.] And on such 
 occasions I indulged not in fish fetched from 
 town, but was content with a pullet or a kid, 
 bred on the farm. 
 
 119. Operum vacuo.] Disengaged — un- 
 able to work for the weather. 
 
 121. Pensilis uva.] Hung — i. e. dried 
 grapes. These, with nuts and figs, consti- 
 tuted our dessert. 
 
 122. Duplice ficu.] Figs were split and 
 dried, and in this dried state, doubled up, were 
 
 brought to table. Pallad. de R. R. iv. 10. 
 35. 
 
 123. Culpa potare mag.) So that the per- 
 son who offended against the rules which 
 governed the festivity, was, by way of penalty, 
 commanded to drink a certain number of 
 cyathi in addition. 
 
 124. Venerata.] Passively. Propitiated 
 by a libation, that so — on account of this act 
 of veneration, she might bid our crops rise, &c 
 
 125. Explicuit, fyc.) That is, the assurance 
 that Ceres was thus propitiated smoothed our 
 brows, before furrowed with care. 
 
 126. Sceviat, fyc] Should Fortune rage 
 anew, &c. how much will she, or can she take 
 from hence ? 
 
 127. Quanto, <yc] How much more spa- 
 ringly have I or you, my sons, fed since this 
 new occupant — this Urnbrenus, came hither ? 
 We lived frugally when the land was our own, 
 and we have only done so since. 
 
 129. Propria.] To hold it permanently — 
 as nulli proprius ; — below, 134. 
 
 131. Nequities, §c] Either his own pro- 
 fusion, or ignorance of legal quibbles, or, at 
 all events, the heir who survives, will expel 
 him. 
 
 Vafri.] The term is referrible to tin- law- 
 yer, who takes advantage of legal equivoca- 
 tions.

 moration of the Golden Age — the reign of 
 
 Horace introduces Damasippus — a bank- universal equality, under the auspices of 
 
 rupt merchant turned philosopher — discussing Saturn. It was kept in December, and cele- 
 
 with him, in support of the sentiments of the brated with much intemperance. Sat. ii. 7-

 NOTES. 
 
 (it was December) — at leisure — undistracted 
 by the bustle of town. 
 
 11. Quorsum, Sfc] For what purpose did 
 you pack up Plato and Menander, &c. — if, 
 after all, you are going to do nothing. 
 
 Menandro-] An Athenian writer of the 
 New Comedy (Sat. i. 4. 1.), imitated by 
 Afranius, Ep. ii. 1. 57. and Terence. 
 
 12. Eupolin.~] Sat. i. 4. 1. 
 Archilochum.] Of Paros — the inventor of 
 
 Iambics, and whom Horace professes to imi- 
 tate. Ep. i. 19. 13. 
 
 Tantos.~\ Writers of so high a character. 
 
 Comites.] These were, of course, Horace's 
 favourite authors. 
 
 1.3. Invidiam, Sfc] Are you intending to 
 appease Envy, at the cost of your virtue ? 
 
 Virtute.] Shewn specifically in the Satires, 
 which had stirred invidia, and in which, like 
 Lucilius, he professed to honour virtue and 
 her friends. Sat. ii. 1. 70. 
 
 14. Siren.] Ep. i. 2. 23. 
 
 15. Aut, quicquid, fyc.] Or whatever glory 
 you meditated in your days of study and 
 activity. 
 
 16. Di te, fyc.] Damasippus, in his new 
 character of philosopher, of course wore his 
 beard. Horace affects to mistake the cause, 
 and in pity for his miserable appearance, 
 prays the Gods to send him a barber. 
 
 18. Omnis res.~) My property was wrecked, 
 and utterly lost. 
 
 Janum ad, fyc] A portion of the forum, 
 so named from a temple or statue of Janus, 
 and spoken of as having three divisions — 
 suiiiMiis, medius, and imus. The medius was 
 frequented by money-dealers and brokers, to 
 whom Damasippus had had recourse for 
 
 8 
 
 loans, which ended in bankruptcy. The most 
 probable account, perhaps, of these divisions 
 is, that they were three alleys, or passages, 
 between buildings of the forum, still deriving 
 their name from some neighbouring statue or 
 temple of Janus. 
 
 19. Aliena, <^c] Thrown out of my own — 
 with nothing of my own to attend to, I em- 
 ploy myself in observing other people's af- 
 fairs. 
 
 20. Olim nam, fyc] For once I had a 
 great deal upon my hands — I loved to hunt 
 up pieces of antiquity or virtu, &c. Com- 
 pare Cic. Ep. ad Fam. vii. 23. and again, ad 
 Att. xii. 29. and 33. 
 
 21. Quo, 8(0.1 The vessel of copper or 
 bronze, in which that old fox Sisyphus bathed 
 his feet. 
 
 Vafer Sisyphus.] A son of iEolus, king of 
 Ephyra, and founder of Corinth — called by 
 Homer KepdicFTOQ avdpiov. II. vi. 53. His 
 final punishment is described Odyss. xi. 592. 
 &c. 
 
 22. Sculptum infabre, <yc] Statues un- 
 skilfully carved — rudely and roughly cast — 
 valued for their antiquity, not for beauty of 
 workmanship. 
 
 23. Callidus, fyc] For that statue, as if 
 he had pointed at one, or spoke of one well- 
 known — I laid it at — I fixed the price at, 
 &c. — as a connoisseur — a man critically ac- 
 quainted with the value of such things. The 
 meaning may rather be, I paid 100,000 Sest. 
 and thought I had made a capital bargain — 
 laughing at his own folly. 
 
 Millia centum,"] Scil. nummdm. 
 
 24. Hortos, Sfc] I was the only man in 
 the market who knew how to deal in houses

 opportunus adfuit, aitque (Ster-

 and gardens with a profit — said in a similar 
 tone of irony. 
 
 25. Unde, Sfc] From which — i. e. from 
 my numerous dealings in these things, the 
 crowded sale-rooms gave me the name of 
 Mercury — the presiding deity of commerce. 
 
 26. Compita.] Auctions were usually held 
 in the compita, and these Damasippus fre- 
 quented for bargains. 
 
 Novi, fyc] I know how you used to go 
 on, and I wonder how you have been cured of 
 your disorder — your passion for making bar- 
 gains. 
 
 27- Morbi.'] Like voaog, used for any 
 excess in passion. 
 
 Morbi purgatum.] The genitive is a Greek 
 construction — airoicaSaiptiv. Livy xxxvii. 
 28. 
 
 Atqui, Sfc] A new passion — morbus — has 
 wonderfully expelled the old one — as happens 
 in bodily pains, that of the head or the side 
 passes into the heart — as if when one pain 
 ceases, another begins, or one pain dulls the 
 sense of another. Damasippus alludes to his 
 having turned Stoic. 
 
 30. Ut lethargicus, fyc] Or as that le- 
 thargic patient who turned pugilist, and beat 
 the doctor — i. e. went raving mad. Dama- 
 sippus seems to hint that his new passion is 
 more intense than the old one — that he is 
 madder than ever. 
 
 31. Dum ne quid, Sfc] Scil. sit. As you 
 please, so that nothing of the kind occurs 
 
 (huic) to me (Sat. i. 9. 47-) i. e. one disease 
 being expelled by another. 
 
 O bone, Sfc] O my good man, do not mis- 
 lead yourself — you too are mad, and all are 
 fools — the sapienies only excepted. All Stoics 
 are not sapientes — the consummate Stoic only 
 is sapiens. 
 
 33. Si quid, fyc] If there be any truth in 
 Stertinius's loquacity. There is an obvious 
 irony in crepat. 
 
 Unde, Sfc] From whose mouth (or from 
 whose books — he wrote two hundred vo- 
 lumes) I selected these admirable sentiments. 
 
 34. Me sapientem, fyc] Bade me turn 
 Stoic, and wear a beard. 
 
 36. Fabricio.] The bridge which con- 
 nected the bank with the island of the Tiber, 
 built by the consul Fabricius, and in after 
 times called the Stone-bridge. 
 
 Non tristem.] In good spirits. 
 
 37- Male re gestd, tyc] After my affairs 
 were ruined, and I was going to throw my- 
 self into the Tiber, &c. 
 
 Operto capite.] With a cap drawn over 
 my eyes, as was usual in executions. 
 
 38. Dexter stetit.] Stood at my right 
 hand, or beside me, like a propitious divinity. 
 
 Cave.] E short, as it is sometimes in vide, 
 vale, §c. 
 
 39. Pudor malus.] A false shame. 
 
 40. Insanos, fyc] Who, in the midst of 
 madmen, are afraid of being taken for a mad- 
 man.

 NOTES. 
 
 181. Intestabilis. ~\ A degraded person — 
 one capable neither of making a will — nor 
 benefitting by one — nor attesting one. 
 
 Sacer.] One on whom curses are impre- 
 cated. 
 
 182. In cicere, fyc] Would you, Aulus, 
 squander your money on cicer, &c. to parade 
 about in the forum like a great man, or to 
 have a bronze statue erected in honour of 
 you, though by such folly you were stript of 
 your inheritance ? 
 
 Cicere atquefabd.] Of old, in the simpler 
 days of Rome, these things were thrown 
 among the crowds by the exhibitors of the 
 Floral games, to please the mob. The exhi- 
 bitions for the same purpose, of the ./Ediles, 
 in after times, were of the most costly and 
 ostentatious description. 
 
 Perdasque.] The que couples fabd and 
 lupinis. 
 
 183. Latus.] Cum bis trium ulnarum togd. 
 Epod. 4. 8. 
 
 185. Scilicet, fyc] And you, too, truly, 
 Tiberius, with your penurious spirit, would 
 you do the same, to win, like a fox imitating 
 the lion, the plaudits which Agrippa does ? 
 
 Scilicet.'] Ironically, as usual. 
 
 Quos fert Agrippa.] An adroit compli- 
 ment to Agrippa, en passant. 
 
 Agrippa.] Agrippa's .ZEdilate in 721 U. C. 
 was distinguished for its magnificence, and 
 gained him immense popularity. Dio Cass. 
 xlix. 43. 
 
 Fert.] For Agrippa, Od. i. 6. The pre- 
 sent tense indicates the date of the Satire. 
 
 187- Ne quis, fyc] Stertinius turns ab- 
 ruptly to the madness of Agamemnon, who had 
 sacrificed his daughter to appease the wrath 
 of Diana. It is introduced dramatically — as 
 if the king were present, Stertinius asks him 
 why he forbids the burial of Ajax's corpse. 
 
 188. Rex sum.] It is my will — I am a 
 king — I am responsible to nobody for my 
 actions. 
 
 Nil ultra, fyc] Plebeian as / am, I have 
 no right to inquire farther.

 ferring to cui. 
 
 191. Di tibi, fyc] Horn. II. 1. 18. 
 Reducere] The e is here long, as it 
 
 occasionally is found in retulit, religio, &c. 
 Such words should not be spelt with a double 
 consonant — for the e in reality is regarded as 
 common. 
 
 192. Ergo, fyc] May I then — i.e. in 
 consequence of the general permission you 
 have just given, &c. 
 
 Consulere — respondere.] Technical terms 
 — used by lawyers. 
 
 193. Ab Achille secundus.] A hero next 
 to Achilles — second only to him.

 NOTES. 
 
 214. Si quis, fyc] To shew the more 
 glaringly the insanity of Agamemnon, who 
 had treated his daughter like a votive heifer, 
 a tale is introduced of one who, in his illu- 
 sions, treated a lamb like a daughter. 
 
 Si quis lecticd, fyc] If a person should 
 for his pleasure carry about a lamb, hand- 
 somely decorated, in a palanquin — should 
 provide dresses and slaves for it, as if it were 
 his daughter — call it fond names, &c. 
 
 217- Interdicto, Sfc] By injunction, or 
 order, the Praetor would take from him all 
 control over his property, and place him 
 and his property under the guardianship of 
 his sane relations. The law of the twelve 
 Tables, preserved in Cic. de Invent, ii. 50. is 
 express — Si furiosus est, agnatorum gentilium- 
 que in eo pecunidque ejus potestas esto ; but 
 the Praetor's sanction was indispensable. The 
 insane were placed under the protection of 
 the Praetor Urbanus, as they are with us, 
 under the Chancellor's — i. e. such as had 
 property. 
 
 220. Ne dixeris.] Never say it — i. e. that 
 he is in his right senses. 
 
 Ergo, 8fc] Therefore, where there is folly 
 — i. e. a folly, or confusion of ideas which 
 leads to crime — there is madness. The man 
 who acts like a fool is mad. 
 
 221. Qui sceleratus, Sfc] He who is guilty 
 of a crime is also mad. 
 
 222. Vitrea.'] Splendid. Od. i. 17. 20. 
 
 223. Bellona. ~\ Bellona, who delights in 
 bloody spectacles, thunders round the man 
 whom the glittering anticipations of fame have 
 dazzled. 
 
 Circumtonuit.'] I. e. As if thunder-struck 
 — maddened ! 
 
 224. Nwic age, fyc] Stertinius now attacks 
 the insane follies of Nomentanus. 
 
 Arripe.] Lay hold of him — drag him into 
 court, and let sentence be passed on him. 
 Sat. ii. 1. 69. 
 
 225. Vincet.] Prove, or convict. 
 Nepotes.] Epod. i. 35. 
 
 226. Hie, 8fc] Nomentanus issues an edict 
 or proclamation, like a Praetor. 
 
 228. Tusci — vici.] The Tusci, when ex- 
 pelled by the Aricini, betook themselves to 
 Rome, and settled in a vicus, street, or dis- 
 trict, to which they gave their own name — 
 says the Scholiast. Compare Livy ii. 14. 
 
 Impia turba.] In Tusco vico sioit homines, 
 qui ipsi sese cenditant. Plaut. Curcul. it. 1. 21. 
 
 229. Fartor.] A poulterer — one who crams, 
 or fattens ; — or one who stuffs sausages in 
 skins. 
 
 Cum Velabro.] With all the shopkeepers 
 of the Velabrum — a vicus, or district, — once 
 a pool of water, across which, before it was 
 drained, people went in boats to the Aventine 
 hill ; or velificabant, as Propertius says of it, 
 iv. 9. 6. The Velabrum was filled with the 
 dealers in eatables.

 NOTES. 
 
 249. Quern barbatum.] Any one with a 
 beard — any one beyond the age of childhood. 
 
 Amentia verset.'] Madness must possess 
 him. 
 
 250. Ratio.'] As in line 83 of this Satire. 
 
 Si puerilius, fyc] If sound sense, or phi- 
 losophy, proves that to be in love — i. e. to be 
 given up to women — to be the slave of their 
 caprices — is conduct more puerile than any of 
 these things — building card-houses, putting 
 mice in harness, &c. 
 
 251. Nee quidquam, fycJ] That there is no 
 difference, whether you make houses of sand, 
 as you did when you were three years old, 
 or weep, &c. One is not more absurd than 
 the other. 
 
 253. Qucero, fyc] If I prove that — would 
 you do what the converted Polemon did 1 
 Would you give up your harlots, as he threw 
 off the insignia of his profligate life ? The 
 implication is — No ; and therefore you are a 
 fool and a madman. 
 
 254. Polemon.] Said in a state of intoxi- 
 cation, to have entered the circle of Xeno- 
 crates' disciples, while he was lecturing, and 
 to have been so shamed by what he heard, as 
 to drop one by one his convivial decorations — 
 and profess himself a disciple of the man he 
 came to deride. He was eventually Xeno- 
 crates' successor. Diog. Laert. iv. 16. 
 
 Mutatus.] From a profligate to a respectable 
 person — from an insanus to a sa?ms. 
 
 255. Fasciolas.] Ornamental lacings for 
 the arms and legs. Cic. Harusp. 21. upbraids 
 
 Clodius with wearing such effeminate decora- 
 tions. 
 
 Cubital.] A pillow for the elbow at the 
 dinner couch — perhaps with some extraordi- 
 nary finery attached to it. More likely some 
 ornament worn on the arm ; he would hardly 
 carry the dinner cubital about with him. 
 
 Focalia.] From fauces — ruffs, or collars, or 
 some ornament for the neck. 
 
 Potus ut ille.] As that drunkard — that 
 Polemon when drunk. 
 
 257- Impransi.] Sober, in contrast with 
 Polemon. 
 
 258. Porrigis] Still farther to prove that 
 men involved with abandoned women are like 
 boys. 
 
 Irato puero, 8$c] When you offer fruits 
 to a sulky boy, he refuses — will not take 
 them. 
 
 259. Amator, Sfc] How does the lover, 
 shut out by his mistress to make way for an- 
 other, differ from this boy, when he delibe- 
 rates with himself, whether, &c. The whole 
 passage, to line 271, is, in substance, and 
 almost in terms, from Terence, Eunuch, i. 1. 
 
 261. Hccret invisis.] Lingers at her hated 
 doors — i. e. doors which he wishes were hate- 
 ful, but which he cannot force himself to quit. 
 
 262. Ne nunc] For ne nunc quidem, as 
 Terence has it. Ne for ne quidem rarely 
 occurs. 
 
 263. Dolores.] Vexations arising from 
 love — as numerous, says Ovid, as the shells 
 on the sea-shore. Art. Am. ii. 519.

 NOTES. 
 
 283. Quiddam.'] Some vow — what does 
 not appear ; nor does the reading appear to 
 be sound. 
 
 285. Mentem.'] I. e. had he been a slave, 
 his master, unless a cheat, would, in selling 
 him, have excepted his mind — would have 
 allowed he was not perfectly sane. 
 
 28G. Hoc quoque vidgus.] People of this 
 kind — the mob, or mass of people, like the 
 libertinus—Ch.rys\\>Y>us, the oracle of the Stoics, 
 places in the numerous family of Menenius — 
 some person, of course, memorable for his 
 folly. 
 
 289. Cubantis.] Ill — confined to his bed 
 for months. 
 
 290. Frigida quartana.] Soil, febris. A 
 quartan fever — i. e. when the hot fit recurs 
 every third day. 
 
 Illo die, Sfc] On that day, annually, in 
 which you give orders for a fast — on the day 
 in which a fast is appointed to be kept in 
 your name. Nothing is known with any cer- 
 tainty about these jejunia. Livy speaks of 
 jejunia in the name of Ceres, appointed by 
 the Decemviri, from the Sybilline books. 
 Horace seems to glance at the Jewish fasts. 
 
 292. Casus, $c] Should some chance, or 
 the doctor rescue the sick child from the 
 brink of the grave, the senseless mother, &c. 
 
 293. Necabit.] I. e. will hazard his life. 
 If literally, kill — -febrhnque must be taken as 
 
 febrimve — she will either kill the child, or 
 bring back the fever. 
 
 In pracipiti] I. e. in extremity. 
 
 295. Quone malo, fyc] What has shaken 
 the woman ? fear of the Gods — *. e. an un- 
 reasoning fear. 
 
 296. Hcec mihi, fyc] Damasippus, having 
 gone through the maxims of Stertinius, re- 
 sumes his conversation with Horace. 
 
 Sapientum octavus.] Of these seven wise 
 men of Greece, four only have undisturbed 
 possession of the distinction — Thales, Bias, 
 Pittacus, and Solon. — Aristodemus, Cleobu- 
 lus, Periander, Chilo, Anaxagoras, Pythagoras, 
 Arcesilaus, &c. occur in different lists. Thales 
 is sapientissimus inter sapientes. Cic. de Leg. 
 ii. 26. 
 
 297- Arma dedit, eye] These weapons — 
 these arguments to defend myself with — that 
 I may no longer be attacked without the 
 means of retorting. 
 
 298. Totidem.] As often as any one calls 
 me insane, he shall hear — he shall be called 
 the same — I will show him he is as mad him- 
 self. 
 
 299. Respicere.] And shall learn to look 
 at what hangs on his own back — now unob- 
 served by him — in allusion to iEsop's fable. 
 Catull. xxii. 21. 
 
 300. Stoice, fyc] After all your losses, so 
 may you sell every thing at a better price — 
 so may you have better luck in future — i. c. 
 as you answer me to my satisfaction. Sic in 
 this optative sense occurs Od. i. 3. 1.

 NOTES. 
 
 12. Longa, 8fC.~\ Catius begins with eggs, 
 as being usually served up first. Sat. i. 
 3.6. 
 
 Longa quibus, fyc] Eggs that are of the 
 longer shape — remember to place them upon 
 your table, as being of better flavour, and 
 more nutritious than the rounder ones. 
 
 14. Namque, $fc.~] It is not clear to which 
 callosa refers — the long or the round eggs. 
 Till that is ascertained, the reason assigned 
 may seem as likely to be intended to deter as 
 to recommend. 
 
 Callosa.'] The word, of course, agrees 
 with ova, and seems to assume, that eggs of 
 the one shape or the other are harder, as to 
 the shell — not of greater consistence, as to the 
 albumen. 
 
 Marem cohibent, <yc] Columella, viii. 5. 
 11. says the long eggs contain the male em- 
 bryo, and Aristotle the round ones. Both 
 opinions seem to be of equal value. 
 
 Ponere."] For apponere — to put or set on 
 the table. 
 
 Cohibent.'] Contain. 
 
 15. Caule suburb.] Catius takes the vege- 
 tables next. The caulis — cabbage, &c. what 
 grows upon a stalk — which grows in the dry 
 grounds, is sweeter than the produce of the 
 wet gardens close to the town. 
 
 10. Irriguo.] Nothing is more destructive 
 to the flavour of these vegetables than these 
 watered gardens — watered to accelerate their 
 growth. 
 
 17- Si vespertinus, Afc] Should a friend 
 take you by surprise in the evening — lest 
 the fowl you kill for him, being tough, should 
 
 answer ill to the palate — drown it in Faler- 
 nian Must. That will make it tender. 
 
 18. Malum.] For male. Parum would, 
 perhaps, meet the sense. 
 
 19. Musto.] New wine, or rather grape- 
 juice, not fermented — preserved in this state 
 by a particular process, and kept ready by 
 good housewives for culinary purposes. Cato 
 de R. R. cxx. and Colum. xii. 29. 
 
 Doctus eris.] You will have been in- 
 structed — taught by my precepts — i. e. if you 
 listen to me, you will drown, &c. 
 
 21. Aliis male, 8$c] It is ill trusting — 
 there is no trusting to others — such as grow 
 elsewhere than in pratis. 
 
 22. Qui nigris, Sfc] Catius delivers sundry 
 maxims relative to matters of importance be- 
 fore the coena itself. 
 
 23. Ante gravem, fyc] Gathered before 
 the heat of the sun. 
 
 24. Aufidius.] Used to drink strong sharp 
 Falernian, mixed with honey, before dinner 
 — erroneously, for nothing but what is sweet 
 should be put into the empty stomach. 
 
 26. Leni, fyc] You will do better to take 
 a good draught of mead. 
 
 Prcecordia.] Strictly, what is in the region 
 of the heart — descriptively for te. Te pro- 
 lueris. Virg. JEn. 1. 739. 
 
 27- Si dura, Sfc] If your bowels are con- 
 fined, &c. 
 
 28. Obstantia pellent.] Will remove ob- 
 structions — will relieve. 
 
 Mitulus.] Some sort of shell-fish. 
 
 29. Lapathi.] Epod. 2. 57. 
 JJi\'vis.] Small.

 NOTES. 
 
 Albo Coo.~\ White wine of Cos, with 
 which sea- water was commonly mixed. 
 Athen. i. 35. 
 
 30. Conchylia.] Shell-fish are in the best 
 ■ — the fattest state, at the new moon. 
 
 31. Generosee.] But it is not every sea — 
 every part of it — that supplies shell- fish of a 
 good quality. 
 
 32. Murice, fyc] The peloris of the 
 Lucrine is a better fish than the murex of 
 Baiae. 
 
 Lucrina.] Of the Lucrine bay — between 
 Baiae and Puteoli. 
 
 34. Molle Tarentum.'] Ep. i. 7- 45. 
 
 36. Non prius exacta, 8$c.~\ Who cannot 
 discriminate the delicate distinctions of fla- 
 vours. 
 
 37- Nee satis est, 8fc] It is not enough to 
 buy fish at a high price — you must know 
 which is best for boiling, and which for roast- 
 ing, &c. 
 
 Card mensd.] The mensa is the fishmon- 
 ger's stall. Averrere expresses the buying in 
 haste, and sweeping away at any price. 
 
 38. Ignarum.] The man who does not 
 know for which kind of fish the jus is fittest 
 — i. e. which is best boiled — or perhaps stewed. 
 
 Quibus est jus.] Fish, therefore, was not 
 boiled in simple water, but in a liquor mixed 
 up with divers ingredients which was served 
 up with the fish, and eaten as sauce. Com- 
 pare line 53. 
 
 Quibus assis.] And the fish, which is best 
 when roasted — perhaps fried — at the sight of 
 
 which, the ail-but sated guest will anew pre- 
 pare for eating. 
 
 39. In cubitum se rep.] I. e. will put him- 
 self in a position for eating, by resting his 
 elbow on the cushions. Od. i. 27- 8. 
 
 40. Umber, fyc] A boar from the Um- 
 brian forests and fed on acorns, should fill the 
 dishes of the man, who eschews insipid fla- 
 vours — i. e. the man who understands the 
 true, the best, flavour of the boar, will have 
 none at his table but such as have been bred 
 and fed in the forests of Umbria. 
 
 41. Curvet.] Depresses with its weight — 
 fills. The word indicates the magnificent 
 size of the animal. 
 
 Inertem.] Without flavour. 
 
 42. Laurens.] The boars of Laurentum 
 are bad — fattened on nothing but rushes and 
 sea- weed. Epod. 5. 28. 
 
 43. Vinea.] The vineyards do not supply 
 goats always eatable. Goats were, apparently, 
 turned in after the vintage, to browze upon 
 the withered foliage. 
 
 44. Sapiens.] The man of taste — of judg- 
 ment as to these matters. 
 
 Armos.] Meaning, of course, between the 
 shoulders, along the ribs — the back as the 
 carver would say. Sat. ii. 8. 90. 
 
 45. Piscibus, <§•<?.] What was the nature 
 of birds and fishes — meaning, not precisely 
 which were eatable, and which not ; but in 
 what circumstances each was in the best state, 
 and what was the best age. 
 
 4(>. Ante meum, #c] To no palate before

 NOTES. 
 
 mine was the nature and age, though studied 
 by numbers, disclosed. 
 
 Palatum.'] Rhetorically — or paradingly, 
 for me. 
 
 50. Securus, Sfc] Solicitous about nothing 
 but his wines — careless what oil was used for 
 fish. 
 
 51. Massica.] Od. i. 1. 9. 
 
 Si ccelo, Sfc] If you expose Massic wine 
 to a clear calm sky, — whatever is thick in it 
 will be dissolved by the night air — it will 
 clear. 
 
 54. Lino vitiata, §c.~] I. e. injured by be- 
 ing filtered through a strainer. — Wines run 
 through a linen strainer lose their best flavour. 
 It will be better to expose them to the night- 
 air. 
 
 55. Surrentina.] Wines grown on the hills 
 near Surrentum (now Sorrento). They were 
 weak wines, but in great repute for their fla- 
 vour. 
 
 Vafer.] Who, knowing the good effects of 
 mixing fax Falerna, and of fining with the 
 yolk of pigeons' eggs, takes advantage of 
 then). 
 
 66. Limum.'] The mothery part. 
 
 Bene.] Successfully. 
 
 57. Petit.] Goes to the bottom, taking 
 with it the aliena — the particles which make 
 the wine turbid. 
 
 Aliena.] I. c. non sua — but of the wine. 
 
 oil Tostis, %c.~\ You will rouse the palled 
 
 appetite with squilla and cocldece — not with 
 lactuca, for that floats, &c. 
 
 59. Innatat.] The food which floats on 
 the stomach does not digest — what does digest 
 is said sedere — to sit or settle. Sat. ii. 2. 73. 
 
 Acri.] In a nauseating state, from the heat 
 of the wine. 
 
 60. Hillis.] Some kind of smoked sausages. 
 
 61. Immorsus.] Seems to mean, sated 
 with eating — squeamish, or qualmish, and is 
 obviously, from the context, equivalent to 
 marcens. 
 
 Flagitat, fyc] Requires whetting with ham 
 or sausages — salt, exciting dishes — rather than 
 with lactuca. 
 
 Quin, Sfc] Nay, it would prefer any thing 
 brought smoking hot from the cook-shops — 
 to this lactuca. 
 
 63. Duplicis juris.] A double or compound 
 sauce, which, from the subsequent description, 
 consists of certain ingredients, added to what 
 is termed the simplex, which is first described. 
 Fish were boiled in these sauces, or rather 
 were thus stewed. See note, line 38. 
 
 64. Simplex.] The jus simplex consists of 
 new oil, rich wine, and Byzantine pickle. 
 This jfM simplex, boiled up with chopped herbs, 
 and mixed as it cools with crocus, and finally 
 covered with Venafrian oil, constitutes (he jus 
 duplex. 
 
 Dulci.] Fresh — not rancid. 
 
 65. Murid.] The pickle.

 NOTES. 
 
 66. Non alia, fyc] With no other mu- 
 ria than that of which the Byzantina orca 
 stinks — Byzantine pickle. 
 
 Orca.~] The vessel in which were pickled 
 the thynni caught near Byzantium, and im- 
 ported at Rome. 
 
 68. Corycio.'] A town and promontory of 
 Cilicia, where the best crocus grew. Plin. H. 
 N. xxi. 17- 
 
 Stetit."] Has stood — this word may express 
 a coagulated state ; and then insuper addes, 8fc. 
 may mean — you will pour oil upon the jus du- 
 plex, to preserve it from the action of the air. 
 
 69. Quod, fyc] Scil. oleum — which the 
 berry of the Venafrian olive supplies. Od. ii. 
 6. 16 ; Sat. ii. 8. 45. 
 
 70. Picenis, fyc] The apples or fruits of 
 Tibur are inferior in flavour to those of Pice- 
 num, though they excel them in beauty. Sat. 
 ii. 3. 272. 
 
 71. Venucula.] Scil. uva. Is best for pre- 
 serving in jars. 
 
 Venucula.] Of Venusia — Horace's birth- 
 place. 
 
 72. Rectius, fyc] The Alban grape is best 
 for drying — hung in smoke. Ep. ii 8. 26. 
 
 73. Hanc, fyc] These dried grapes and 
 apples—; fax and allec — white pepper riddled 
 with black salt, I was the first to place in 
 clean dishes round — perhaps the central dish 
 — certainly on the table. These condiments 
 may have been usually handed round to the 
 
 guests, and Catius placed them on the table, 
 as more accessible. Sat. ii. 8. 9. 
 
 Fcecem.] I. e. fcecula Coa. Sat. ii. 8. 9. 
 Said to have been used, in a burnt state, with 
 allec. 
 
 Allec] Variously written, alec, halec, allex, 
 alex — a kind of pickle — or essence, rather, 
 made of the intestines of scombri — something 
 like essence of anchovy, perhaps. 
 
 76. Immane vitium.] As flagitium ingens 
 below, line 82. It is an intolerable folly 
 to purchase large handsome fishes at a high 
 price — and then huddle them together in a 
 dish too small to display their ample dimen- 
 sions. 
 
 78. Movet, fyc] It excites disgust to see a 
 slave handling a cup with his greasy fingers. 
 
 79. Dum furta, fyc] Cramming into his 
 mouth what he has picked out of the dishes 
 with his fingers. 
 
 80. Limus adhcesit.] Dirt sticks to the 
 bowl — for want of cleaning. 
 
 81. Vilibus, fyc] Brooms, dusters, saw- 
 dust, &c. — what is the expence ? a trifle. 
 
 82. Neglectis.] Scil. scopis, fyc. Not pro- 
 vided — the disgrace arising from this neglect 
 of cleanliness is great. 
 
 83. Ten', fyc] Supply decet, or something 
 equivalent. Ought you to sweep your mar- 
 bles with a dirty palm-branch, and throw filthy 
 toralia over your splendid vestes ? 
 
 84. Vestes.] The stragula ucslis of Sat. ii.

 85. Oblitum.~\ In agreement with te. For- 
 getting that in proportion as the cost of clean-

 SATIRE V. 
 
 The poet introduces Ulysses consulting 
 Tiresias as to the best means of repairing his 
 dilapidated fortunes. Tiresias recommends 
 legacy-hunting — under cover of which Horace 
 has an admirable opportunity of exposing the 
 paltry practices of the Romans. 
 
 1. Hoc quoque, fyc] The poet supposes 
 Ulysses has already consulted Tiresias as to 
 his return. Horn. Odys. xi. 
 
 Tiresias.'] The old blind prophet of Thebes, 
 whom Ulysses consults. 
 
 3. Quid rides ?~\ Tiresias must be supposed 
 to have smiled at the superfluous anxiety of 
 Ulysses — who, once at home, might trust to 
 his own ingenuity. 
 
 Doloso.] A man so full of artifice — so lit- 
 tle scrupulous about the means of accom- 
 plishing his purposes — he might be satisfied 
 with getting home again, and rely upon his 
 own resources.

 NOTES. 
 
 46. Pr cedar & sublatus. ~] Brought up as the 
 heir of some splendid property. 
 
 Ne manifestum, 8$c] Lest your pursuit 
 of the old bachelor, or widower, expose your 
 purpose too plainly. 
 
 47. Leniter in spem, Sfc] Work your way, 
 gently and warily, by your assiduities — to 
 the reversion. 
 
 49. Quis casus.'] Some chance — as if a hint 
 were conveyed, that he might be removed 
 out of the way. 
 
 50. In vacuum.'] Into the first place — 
 that occupied by the son, and become vacant 
 by his death. 
 
 Perraro licec, fyc] This is a game that 
 rarely fails. 
 
 52. Tabulas, 8fc.~] Affecting not to wish 
 to see the will. 
 
 53. Limis rapias, fyc] Catch a side glance 
 of what is written on the second line of the 
 first tablet — or page — the line which con- 
 tained the names of the heirs or legatees. 
 
 54. Solus, fyc] Whether you are sole 
 heir, or one of many. 
 
 55. Plerumque.~\ As a reason for thus 
 glancing at the will, Tiresias tells the story 
 of Coranus. 
 
 Plerumque, fyc] Often will old men, like 
 Coranus, dupe the gaping crow ; and legacy- 
 hunters, like Nasica, furnish a subject of 
 laughter — the biter will be bit. 
 
 Recoctus.] A cunning old fox — long en- 
 gaged in public business, and up to the tricks 
 
 of the world — who had been successively a 
 quinquevir and a scriba. 
 
 56. Quinqueviro.] Quinqueviri were oc- 
 casional joint-commissionei-s, appointed for a 
 variety of purposes — for settling colonies, dis- 
 tributing lands under senatorial grants, Src. 
 
 Corvum.] Alluding to iEsop's fable of the 
 fox and crow. Catullus calls a legacy-hunter 
 vulturius. lxviii. 124. 
 
 58. Num furis, fyc] Are you mad, or are 
 you only amusing yourself with me, by talk- 
 ing thus obscurely — about Nasica and Co- 
 ranus. 
 
 59. Laertiade, fyc] Whatever 1 utter, 
 whether for or against, will surely come to 
 pass ; for it is the great Apollo who has given 
 me the faculty of divining. 
 
 61. Quid tamen, fyc] That may be — still 
 it is not the present business — tell me what 
 this tale of yours about Coranus and Nasica 
 means. 
 
 62. Juvenis.] Augustus. 
 
 Parthis horrendus.'] The satire, therefore, 
 could not have been written earlier than 730 
 U. C, if before 734, when the Paithians re- 
 stored the standards, Od. iii. 5 ; and iv. 15. 
 Augustus, at the first date, was forty ; but 
 juvenis, once so distinguishing an epithet of 
 his early greatness, was continued long after 
 it ceased to be appropriate, from habit, or 
 rather from flattery. 
 
 63. Genus, fyc] A descendant of the fa- 
 mily of vEneas.

 pointed hour.

 NOTES. 
 
 SATIRE VI. 
 
 In possession of all his wishes as to pro- 
 perty, the poet professes himself happy, and 
 descants on the charms of a country life, and 
 its superiority over a town one. 
 
 1. Modus agriJ\ A few acres. 
 
 2. Jugis aquce.^ A spring, the water of 
 which never fails — constantly flowing — from 
 jungere. Ep. i. 15. 17- The same phrase 
 occurs also in Sallust, Jug. 90. 
 
 3. Super his.] In addition — or, possibly, 
 higher up — i. e. above house, garden, and 
 spring — for the sake of more effective shel- 
 ter, whether the villa was on the declivity, 
 or in the vale. Comp. line 1G. and Ep. i. 
 16.5. 
 
 5. Maid nate. ] Mercury — the parens lyrce, 
 Od. i. 10. 6 — the patron of poets — uirorum 
 Mercurial! um, Od. ii. 17. 3. 
 
 Propria.] Permanent — or secure. Virg. 
 JEn. vi. 872. 
 
 Faxis.~\ Old form, forfeeeris. 
 
 G. Si neque, 8(c.~\ If I have neither studied 
 to enlarge my property by any base means, 
 nor am likely to diminish it by profusion or 
 profligacy. 
 
 8. Si veneror, $fc.~\ If I am not one of 
 those foolish persons who thus pray, &c. 
 
 O si, Sfc] O if that corner, or bit of land, 
 &c. — I should be happy ! 
 
 9. DenormatJ] Spoils the shape of it — the 
 addition would round it. 
 
 10. O si umam, ^c] O that some chance 
 would throw in my way an urn-full of silver — 
 some buried treasure — as happened to the 
 man who found a sum of money, and bought 
 with it the field on which he had worked as 
 a labourer.

 Q. HORATII FLACC1 
 
 qui, cum thesaurum invenisset, 
 Hercule propitio locupletatus, 
 emit et coluit eundem agrum, 
 quern antea colebat conductus : 
 si contentus sum iis, quae habeo: 
 a te peto tantum hoc, ut pingues 
 efficias greges, et alia, prater in- 
 genium : atque, ut consuevisti, 
 adsis mihi tutor perpetuus. Ita- 
 que postquam ex urbe secessi 
 in colles et arcem, quid potius 
 exornem quam satiras et musam 
 pedestrem 1 Illic neque me 
 prava corrumpit ambitio, neque 
 gravis Auster, vel autumnus 
 morbifer, lucrum pr&stans durae 
 Libitinae. Pater Matutine, 
 sive mavis, Jane, a quo homines 
 exordiuntur primos labores ac- 
 tuosae vitas (ita numinibus pla- 
 cet) tu initium sis versuum meo- 
 rw/n. Quando Roma? sum, me 
 fidejussorem esse cogis: Eja, in- 
 quis, propera, ne quisquam offi- 
 ciosior ante respondeat. Sive 
 aquilo stringat terras, sive hy- 
 ems contrahat dies nivosos orbe 
 interiori, oportet ire. Postea 
 verb quam aperte et manifesto 
 dixi quod mihi noceat, 
 
 Thesauro invento qui mercenarius agrum, 
 Ilium ipsum mercalus, aravit, dives ainico 
 Hercule;" si, quod adest, gratum juvat, hac 
 
 prece te oro, 
 Pingue pecus domino facias, et cetera, praBter 
 Ingenium, utque soles, custos mihi maximus 
 
 adsis. 15 
 
 Ergo ubi me in montes et in arcem ex urbe 
 
 removi, 
 (Quid prius illustrem satiris Musaque pedes-

 Nee mala me ambitio perdit, nee plumbeus 
 
 Auster 
 Auctumnusque gravis, Libitinae quaestus acer-

 Matutine pater, seu Jane libentius audis, 20 
 Unde homines operum primos vitaeque labores 
 Instituunt, sic Dis placitum, tu carminis esto 
 Principium. Romae sponsorem me rapis : Eia, 
 Ne prior officio quisquam respondeat, urge !

 Interiore diem gyro trahit, ire necesse est. 
 Postmodo, quod mi obsit, clare certumque 
 
 locuto 
 
 NOTES. 
 
 12. Amico Hercule.] Favoured by Her- 
 cules — the 7r\ovToSorr)p — the giver of sudden 
 riches. Persius imitates, as he frequently 
 does, ii. 10. 
 
 1.3. Si quod, <yc] If I am content with 
 what I have, &c. 
 
 1 4. Prceter ingenium.'] Horace plays upon 
 pingue. Applied to cattle, the word means 
 fat — to corn, fruits, &c, abundant; but to the 
 intellect, stupid. Metaphorically, pinguis is 
 applied to coarse textures, in opposition to fine 
 or delicate ones. The poet wishes for mens 
 sana hi corpore sano. 
 
 16. Inmontes.] The Lucretilis. Od. i. 17- 
 
 In arcem.] His villa — as a place of refuge, 
 defended from the annoyances of the city. 
 
 17- Quid prius, <yc] What should I in 
 preference celebrate — what better claims the 
 notice of my humble Muse, than my happy 
 position on the Lucretilis 1 
 
 Musdque ped.] The pedestrian Muse of 
 my Satires. The lyric Muse is borne on a 
 car ; the tragic stalks in buskins ; the satirical 
 walks barefoot, or at least buskinless. 
 
 18. Mala ambitio.] Cultivating popularity 
 for base or interested purposes. 
 
 Plumbeus Auster.] The Auster, (Scirocco,) 
 which makes the spirits dull and inert — heavy 
 as lead. 
 
 19. Libit, quasius, Sfc] The harvest of 
 bitter Libitina. Od. iii. 30. 6. 
 
 20. Matutine pater, $c] The sense con- 
 
 nects thus : — in town, with the very dawn, a 
 multitude of business distracts Horace ; and 
 therefore, before he enters upon the descrip- 
 tion, he invokes, as poets do the Muses, Janus, 
 the Pater Matutinus. Ep. i. 16. 59. 
 
 Matutine.] Janus is thus called, because 
 to his protection were consigned the begin- 
 nings and the enterprises of every day, as well 
 as of the year. 
 
 Pater.] Macrobius says, Jan um vocamus 
 patron, quasi deorum deum. Macrob. Saturn, 
 i. 1. 
 
 Seu libentius audis.] Carm. Saec. 15. 
 
 23. Romce.] When I am at Rome, the first 
 thing in the morning, you hurry me away to 
 the courts, to be security for some friend. 
 
 Eia, Sfc] Bestir yourself, lest somebody be 
 beforehand with you in doing the kind office. 
 Virg. JEn. iv. 569. 
 
 25. Radit.] Sweeps along the ground. 
 Epod. 16. 55. 
 
 Bruma.] Winter shortens the days, when 
 the ground is covered with snow. 
 
 26. Interiore gyro.] The curve — the arc 
 traced by the daily course of the sun from 
 rising to setting, which becomes smaller and 
 smaller as it approaches the winter solstice. 
 
 27- Postmodo, eye] When I have uttered 
 aloud and definitively, what may eventually 
 prove ruinous to me — i. e. by pledging him- 
 self for the payment of a debt, if his friend 
 fail to discharge it.

 Maecenas inter familiares me

 quando viam init ; et cum quo 
 loqueretur futilia ejusmodi : 
 Quota est hora ? Gallina Thra- 
 cius estne par Syro ? 
 
 28; Luctandum, Sfc] Then I have to strug- 
 gle and force my way back through the 
 crowded forum. 
 
 Facienda injuria, fyc] For instance — 
 treading on their heels. 
 
 29. Quid vis ?] What is the matter, mad- 
 man, and what are you about ? 
 
 Improbus.] Some abusive fellow, with a 
 curse, &c. — one, of course, who recognizes 
 Horace. Sat. ii. 3. 200. 
 
 30. Tu pulses, Sfc] You would kick every 
 thing out of your way to get to Maecenas's. 
 
 31. Memori.~\ With special care not to 
 forget an appointment there. 
 
 32. Hoc juvat, fyc] Hoc — i. e. the going 
 or returning to Maecenas's. Nothing, I con- 
 fess, is more agreeable or delightful to me 
 than to go to Maecenas's. 
 
 At simul, Sfc] But as soon as I reach, 
 &c. — a sort of set-off to the pleasure of visit- 
 ing, &c. 
 
 Atras Esquil.] Atras, from having once 
 been the commune sepulchrum plebi. Sat. i. 
 8. 10. Maecenas built a palace on the spot. 
 
 33. Aliena neg, centum.] A hundred things 
 relative to other people's affairs overwhelm 
 me — inconsequence of his supposed influence 
 with Maecenas, the favourite of Augustus. 
 
 3.3. Roscius.] That you will meet him to- 
 morrow at the Puteal before eight — the words 
 of a messenger from Roscius. 
 
 Puteal ] Strictly, the cover of a puleus. 
 Here the word seems to mean a wall enclfl 
 
 a puteus, built square, and looking, on medals, 
 like an altar. There were two in the forum — 
 one in the Comitium, where was held the prae- 
 tor's court ; the other by the Arcus Fabian us, 
 built by Scribonius Libo, at the order of the 
 senate, where money-dealers congregated. 
 Ep. i. 19. 8. Libo's Puteal is the place where 
 Horace was requested to meet Roscius, on 
 some money transactions. 
 
 36*. De re com.'] On some point which 
 concerned the general interests of the scribae. 
 
 37. Reverti.] Scil. in decurias scribarum — - 
 or the place where they assembled to discuss, 
 &c. Horace was himself a scriba, and of the 
 Quaestorian class. Sat. i. 5. 35. 
 
 38. Imprimat, §c] Put his seal to these 
 papers — officially, as prcefectus urbis probably. 
 Augustus is said to have given both Maecenas 
 and Agrippa rings with his own seal — to 
 sanction whatever they directed in his name. 
 
 39. Dixeris.] Instead of si dixeris — and 
 meaning, If / should say, &c. 
 
 40. Septinuis, Sfc] The seventh year will 
 soon have fled nearer the eighth — i. e. will 
 soon have ended. The sense seems to be — it 
 is now nearly seven years since, &c. 
 
 42. Duntaxat.] Only for this purpose — 
 only as a person to take with him on his 
 journeys — a carriage companion, when going 
 to his villa, &c. Horace accompanied him to 
 Brundusium. Sat. i. 5. 
 
 44. Hoc genus.] Of this kind, for instance, 
 &c.

 SATIRE VII. 
 
 Horace's slave, in the freedom of the Satur- 
 nalia, inveighs with some severity at his mas- 
 ter's vices, on the authority of some philoso- 
 phical maxims which he professes to have 
 picked up from Crispinus's porter. 
 
 1. Jamdudum ausculto, 4*c] I have long 
 listened to your wisdom, as a slave, and I 
 now wish to say a few words in my turn, but 
 I am afraid. 
 
 2. Davusne ?] Is it Davus who wishes to 
 speak, and afraid ? 
 
 Ita, #c] Yes, Davus — a slave who loves 
 his master, &c. 
 
 .'i. Frugi, quod sit satis.] A pretty good 
 one. 
 
 Hoc est, ut vitale.] That is, not too good 
 to live. Said under the prevalent notion that 
 the good die early — prematurely. Ovid, Am. 
 ii. 6. 39. Davus acknowledges that he is not 
 perhaps the best in the world. 
 
 4. Age, 8fc] Well, make use of the De- 
 cember licence, as our ancestors have willed 
 it so. Say on. 
 
 Decembri.] The Saturnalia fell on xiv. Cal. 
 Jan. the 19th of December. Comp. Sat. ii. 
 3.5. 
 
 6. Constanter.] Always — with persever- 
 ance. 
 
 Urget prop.] Pursue their plan or pur- 
 pose, once resolved on, be it what it may.

 sion, or caprice — driven at their will.

 NOTES. 
 
 29. Levis.~\ Light and capricious — un- 
 steady in your purposes. 
 
 30. Securum.} Your dinner of vegetables, 
 at which nobody interrupts you. 
 
 Velut usquam vinctus.} Just as if you were 
 ever bound to dine out. 
 
 31. Ita.} I. e. when you are not invited 
 any where. 
 
 Amasque, %c.~\ And are glad that you have 
 not to go and drink anywhere. 
 
 32. Jusserit, <yc] But should Maecenas 
 invite you — late — at dusk, to come and dine 
 with him — will nobody bring the oil quick ? 
 Does nobody hear ? you exclaim, sputtering 
 and raving, scarce knowing what you say. 
 
 33. Serum.} Refers to the lateness of the 
 hour at which the invitation arrives. 
 
 Sub prima lum.} At dusk, when lamps 
 (within doors — there were none without) are 
 lit. 
 
 34. Oleum.} For the lamp or lanthorn, 
 apparently, to light him to Maecenas's. 
 
 36. Mulvius, Sfc.} Quit the house — where 
 they had expected to take their ccena with 
 Horace — imprecating curses on you for dis- 
 appointing them. 
 
 Non referenda.} Not intended by them to 
 be reported to Horace. 
 
 37. Dixerit, fyc.} For he might have said, 
 
 &c. Davus himself gives this as the expres- 
 sion of Mulvius's feelings — I confess I am led 
 by my appetite to seek a dinner, &c. 
 
 38. Nasum nidore, Sfc.} Instead of nasus 
 nidore supinatur. I snuff up, &c. 
 
 39. Adde, popino.} And, besides, if you 
 please — a popino — a man who is drawn by 
 his appetite to a popina — a tavern, or eating- 
 house. 
 
 40. Ultro.} Without any good cause. Ter. 
 Adelph. iv. 3. 3. 
 
 41. Insectere.} Scil. me. Upbraid or abuse 
 me. 
 
 Verbisque decoris.} Wrap up your own 
 faults in fine words — hide the vanity you feel 
 at the distinction of dining with Maecenas, 
 under the mask of friendship. 
 
 42. Quid, 8fc.} At the conclusion of this 
 expression of Mulvius's feelings, Davus takes 
 up another topic. — What if you prove to be a 
 greater fool than myself, though I am a 
 slave, and one too who cost but five hundred 
 drachms ? 
 
 43. Aufer, <yc] At being thus bluntly 
 called a fool, Horace affects to frown and 
 threaten. — Do not endeavour to silence me 
 with your looks — keep your hands to your- 
 self, and restrain your wrath. 
 
 45. Crispini janitor.} Crispinus's poller i.s

 NOTES. 
 
 SATIRE VIII. 
 
 Fundanius gives the poet a description of a 
 magnificent feast at which he had been pre- 
 sent the day before, given to Maecenas and 
 his friends by one Nasidienus — a man of great 
 opulence and pretension, but of sordid habits. 
 
 1. Nasidieni.'] A quadrisyllable, i. e. melt- 
 ing into one, as ariete, abiete, 8$c. 
 
 Nasidieni."] Nasidienus Rufus. Nothing 
 is known of this person — the name is proba- 
 bly an assumed one. 
 
 Ut, 8fc] How was you pleased with Na- 
 sidienus's coena yesterday 1 
 
 Te.~\ Scil. Fundanius. The name occurs 
 line 19. 
 
 Beati."] Rich — as often in Horace. 
 
 2. Nam mihi, Sfc] For I was told yester- 
 day, when I called to invite you to dine with 
 me, that you were drinking at his house. 
 
 Here.] An older form than lieri. 
 
 3. Potare.] I. e. that you were dining 
 there. Expressive of the general entertain- 
 ment, as in Sat. ii. 7- 32. 
 
 De medio die.] As early as noon. 
 Sic, Sfc] Scil. me juvit. I never was so 
 much amused in my life. 
 
 4. Da.] For die, as in Virg. Eel. i. 19 ; 
 Ter. Heaut. prol. 10. 
 
 5. Placaverit.] In harmony with iratum. 
 Iratum.] For hungry — with latrantem. 
 
 Sat. ii. 2. 17- 
 
 6. Lucanus.] The best boars were in the 
 forests of Lucania, and of Umbria. Sat. ii. 
 3. 234 ; ii. 4. 40. 
 
 Leni.] Taken when the south-wind blew 
 mildly — thought, of course, to be favourable 
 to the flavour ; or said, probably, to assure 
 the guests of its freshness, for a strong south 
 wind would soon taint it. Sat. ii. 2. 40. 
 
 7. Circum.] Scil. posita. The boar was 
 the central dish, and the articles enumerated 
 were placed round it in separate dishes. Sat. 
 ii. 4. 75. 
 
 Acria.] Pungent — piquant. 
 
 8. Rapula.] Sat. ii. 2. 43. 
 Lactucce.] Sat. ii. 4. 59. 
 Radices.] Radishes. 
 
 9. Pervellunt.] Excite or whet the appe- 
 tite—used as condiments. 
 
 Siser.] Pliny says of this herb, or vege- 
 table — stomachum excitat, fastidium abstergit. 
 H. N. xx. 17. 
 
 Halec, facula Coa.] Sat. ii. 4. 73. 
 
 10. Acernam.] A specimen of the incon- 
 gruity of the appointments. A table of coarse 
 materials, wiped with a napkin of a brilliant 
 dye. The fashionable or more appropriate 
 table would have been one of citron, or a 
 vcrmiculated one — a term of the Scholiast, 
 which probably describes the grain of some 
 ornamental wood. 
 
 12. Sublegit.] Picked up the relics — 
 crumbs, bones, &c. 
 
 13. Ut Attica virgo.] Dark Hydaspes — 
 i. e. an Indian slave marched in, slowly and 
 stately, like an Attic girl in a procession of 
 Ceres. 
 
 Attica virgo.] A priestess, in attendance 
 on the rites." Sat. i. 3. 10.

 NOTES. 
 
 15. Alcon.'] Another slave — the name is 
 mentioned as if Horace was acquainted with 
 the establishment. 
 
 Expers maris.] I. e. with no sea- water 
 mixed in it. It was usually so mixed in 
 Greece, according to the Scholiast ; but at 
 Rome it might be in higher esteem in the 
 pure state, or Nasidienus might think so, or 
 affect to think so. Columella, Pliny, Athe- 
 naeus, all bear testimony to the salt water. 
 
 17- Appositis.] Than what are on the 
 table — i. e. Ccecuban and Chian — the best 
 home and foreign wines. 
 
 Habemus utrumque.] We have both — 
 the Alban and Falernian. 
 
 18. Divitias miseras.] Said with reference 
 to the ostentation of the man, coupled with 
 his sordid spirit, which would not suffer him 
 to produce these wines at once. The words 
 appear to be Horace's. 
 
 Sed, Sfc] I am dying to know along with 
 whom it was you were splendidly treated — 
 who were the party ? 
 
 Una.] Scil. tecum. 
 
 20. Summus ego, Sfc] The party consisted 
 of nine — three on each of the couches, sum- 
 mus, medius, imus — placed thus : 
 
 MEDIUS LECTUS. 
 
 Serv. Baiatro. Maecenas. Vibidius. 
 
 The fourth side of the table was open for the 
 access of the attendants. 
 
 • 22. Maecenas, Sfc] Maecenas, as the chief 
 guest, occupied the middle place of the medius 
 lecius, the seat of honour. 
 
 Umbras.] The persons whom the dis- 
 tinguished guests brought with them were so 
 styled — contemptuously. 
 
 23. Ipsum.] Emphatically — the host, 
 Nasidienus. On his right and left were two 
 parasiti, of whom Porcius made himself ridi- 
 culous — or rather, set the company laughing 
 by swallowing placenta whole — a part, ap- 
 parently, of his buffoonery-duty. 
 
 25. Nomentanus, 8$c] Was present for 
 this purpose, to point out with his fore-finger,

 NOTES. 
 
 EPIST. I. 
 
 Renouncing the sports and pursuits of his 
 younger days, Horace devotes himself for the 
 future, as becomes his years, to the serious 
 prosecution of wisdom and virtue. 
 
 1. Primd Camcena.] Not strictly the first 
 verses he wrote — nor the first ode, or epode, 
 or satire, which are all, like this of the Epis- 
 tles, addressed to Maecenas — nothing so formal 
 is meant ; but in a looser sense, Maecenas was 
 the long and steady patron, to whom he had, 
 early, addressed many of his verses, and should 
 do so to the last. Horace was known as a 
 poet before his introduction to Maecenas. Sat. 
 i. 6. 55. 
 
 Dicte.] Addressed, i. e. with honour — cele- 
 brated. Dicere, so used repeatedly. Od. i. 12. 
 25, &c. 
 
 Summd.] Not, this my last, but, prospec- 
 tively — whom, as long as I write, I shall 
 address. 
 
 Camoend.~\ The Muse — i. e. her inspira- 
 tions. 
 
 2. Spectatum.] Scil. me. Seen, and, by 
 
 implication, approved — an old performer, long 
 enough before the public eye. 
 
 Donatum rude.] I. e. discharged from the 
 obligation of future exhibitions. The rudis 
 was presented to the veteran gladiator, as the 
 emblem, or rather in token of his freedom. 
 
 Quceris, Sfc] Maecenas, of course, had urged 
 the poet for more verses, probably of the gayer 
 kind. 
 
 3. Me includere.~\ To enclose me — *'. e. 
 bring me back again to the arena. Horace 
 compares himself, an old and tried poet, to a 
 veteran gladiator released from his labours. 
 
 4. Non eadem cetas.] I am no longer 
 young. 
 
 Non mens.] I have other thoughts and 
 pursuits. 
 
 Veianius.] Some distinguished gladiator 
 of the times. 
 
 5. Ad postem fixis.] Attached to the gates, 
 or rather to the columns of the temple of Her- 
 cules, as soldiers hung up their arms in the 
 temple of Mars, &c. 
 
 Latet abditus ogro.] In some country re- 
 treat. Veianius may, be supposed to have

 NOTES. 
 
 completed his service, or have purchased his 
 discharge, or have been dismissed by public 
 favour. Sat. ii. 7- 59. 
 
 6. Ne populum, fyc] /. e. not to expose 
 himself to any further hazards. The fate of 
 the gladiator, when worsted, depended on the 
 will of the spectators. A popular performer 
 would rarely be sacrificed ; but there could 
 be no security against the caprice of a mob. 
 
 Extremd.] The part of the arena, or stage, 
 nearest the spectators — the edge of it, whi- 
 ther the defeated party was driven by the 
 superior prowess or fortune of his oppo- 
 nent. 
 
 Ne toties exoret.'] I. e. may never again 
 be driven to the necessity of soliciting — as if 
 his exhibitions had been numerous, and .the 
 occasions for soliciting indulgence perhaps not 
 unfrequent. 
 
 7- Est mihi, fyc] I too, like Veianius, have 
 a monitor, who warns me to retire — to give 
 up the craft of versification — not to hazard 
 my reputation by impotent efforts. 
 
 Est mihi, qui, fyc] Meaning his own feel- 
 ings and convictions. 
 
 Purgatam.~] Scil. sorde. Clean — with no 
 obstructions to the reception of sounds. Rings 
 in my ear distinctly — I cannot be mistaken. 
 Pers. v. C3. 
 
 9. Ilia ducat.~] Break his wind — descrip- 
 tive of such an effect. Pliny H. N. xxvi. C. 
 has ilia trahere in the same sense. 
 
 Peccet ad ext.] Make a ridiculous failure 
 at last. 
 
 10. Nunc itaque, fyc] /. e. in obedience 
 to my feelings. 
 
 Versus, Sfc] I give up my verses, and all 
 other sports of my youth. The ludicra will 
 qualify versus, which may be regarded as rc- 
 
 ferrible to the Lyrics and Satires. The words 
 do not of necessity imply the entire renuncia- 
 tion of poetry, but only of the lighter kind — 
 such as no longer befitted his years. 
 
 11. Verum.] I. e. rectum. What is right 
 in itself. The to koXov. 
 
 Decens.] Referrible to whatever becomes 
 the age, station, &c. — involving what we 
 should call the duties of life. 
 
 12. Condo et compono.] Condere expresses 
 the gathering and storing in the mind — and 
 componere, the arranging of such stores. 
 
 13. Quo me duce, fyc] To what teacher or 
 sect I attach myself. Dux is the teacher or 
 particular master of philosophy — secta the 
 particular philosophy, whose doctrines he en- 
 forces. 
 
 Lare.] As domus Socratica. Od. i. 29. 14. 
 
 14. Nullius, Sfc] Not bound (like the gla- 
 diator) to swear to the words of one master — 
 i. e. devoted to no one, I go whither the wind 
 takes me, though I happen to be a stranger. 
 An eclectic, in short, as Cicero occasionally 
 represents himself, though nominally an Aca- 
 demic. Tuscul. iv. 7- 
 
 Addictus jurare.] Greek — instead of ut 
 jurem. 
 
 16. Nunc agilis, fyc] Sometimes I am in 
 action, and immersed in civil waves — deep in 
 public business — the rigid guard and guardian 
 of true virtue — i. e. practising the maxims of 
 the Stoics, in the offices of society. Ep. i. 2. 22. 
 
 18. Nunc in Arist. Sfc] Sometimes I re- 
 lapse again, insensibly, to the principles of 
 Aristippus — who measured, as Epicurus did 
 afterwards, the summum bonum by pleasure, 
 but in a looser and coarser sense than Epi- 
 curus. Sat. ii. 3. 100. 
 
 19. Et mihi, <yc] I make things bend to

 21. Opus debentibus.'] To those who have 
 anticipated payment, and work comparatively 
 with reluctance — wanting the stimulus of re-

 22. Dura premit custodia, fyc] The se- 
 verity with which wise mothers restrain the 
 excesses of their sons — yet minors, and not in 
 possession of their estates. 
 
 Premit.] I. e. by their personal influence 
 and authority. They were not the legal 
 guardians of their children. 
 
 24. Morantur, Sfc] Interrupt or impede 
 my strenuously doing that which, (scil. fac- 
 tum,) being done, is beneficial, alike to rich 
 and poor, &c. 
 
 Id, quod.] Prosecuting the verum atque de-

 rupted as I am, if I can do no better, to go- 
 vern and console myself with such elementary, 
 or, perhaps, fundamental maxims as these. 
 
 28. Non possis, <yc] Though, with your 
 weak eyes, you may never, do what you will, 
 be able to see as far as Lynceus, yet for that 
 you should not refuse to use collyrium — you 
 should do what you can to improve them. 
 Though you cannot attain all you wish, do 
 not neglect what is within your reach.

 despair of your limbs ever having the vigour 
 of Glycon, shoiild you be unwilling to do all 
 you can to keep off the gout. 
 
 Glyconis.] An athlete, memorable for his 
 size and strength. 
 
 31. Nodosa.] From the hard tumours — 
 chalk stones — in the articulations of the fin- 
 gers. Ovid has podagra nodosa. Ex Pont. i. 
 3. 23. 
 
 32r Est quadam, fyc] So far — to a certain 
 point you may go, if you can get no farther. 
 A general maxim, in correspondence with the 
 two particular instances.

 NOTES. 
 
 EPIST. II. 
 
 Homer is a better teacher of good morals 
 than any of the philosophers — an assertion, 
 which the poet establishes by appealing to 
 particulars, and then adds some maxims for 
 the guidance of conduct adapted to the age of 
 the younger Lollius, whom he is addressing. 
 
 1. Maxime Lolli.] This Lollius, apparently, 
 is the elder son of M. Lollius Palicanus, con- 
 sul 733 U. C, to whom Horace addresses Od. 
 iv. 9. 
 
 Maxime.] Scil. natu. Mention is made 
 of a younger brother in Ep. 18. which is ad- 
 dressed to the same Lollius as the present. 
 
 2. Declamas, 8fc.~\ I. e. practising under 
 a teacher the art of public speaking — an usual 
 branch of education, especially with young 
 men of family, and destined for public life. 
 
 Preeneste.~\ To which the poet was in the 
 habit of occasionally retiring. Od. iii. 4. 23. 
 
 3. Quid sit, Sfc.] The pulchrum is the to 
 ica\6v — the virtuous, or honourable — recti- 
 tude. This, with the utile, and their oppo- 
 sites, constituted the common topics of dis- 
 cussion with moral philosophers. 
 
 4. Planius.] More distinctly and intel- 
 ligibly — unless plenius be read in the sense 
 of more circumstantially, or practically. 
 
 Chrysippo.] Sat. i. 3. 127- 
 
 Crantore.] A distinguished academic — 
 disciple of Xenocrates. 
 
 6. Fabula, 8fc.] I. e. the Iliad, in which 
 are described the long conflicts of the Greeks 
 
 with the Romans, in consequence of the ab- 
 duction of Helen, contains the passions and 
 crimes of foolish kings and nations. 
 
 7> Barbarice.] Every country, except 
 their own, was by the Greeks called Bar- 
 baria ; and every country, except Italy, by 
 the Romans — but pre-eminently Phrygia, or 
 the Trojan regions. 
 
 Grcecia Barb. §c.] The line is probably 
 one of Ennius's, or some other old poet — as 
 well from the construction as the antique 
 phrase collisa duello. 
 
 Lento.] Long, or lingering. 
 
 8. JEstus.] The passions and vices — enu- 
 merated in line 15. 
 
 9. Antenor censet, fyc] Antenor advises 
 to cut off the cause of the war — by restoring 
 Helen and the stolen property. Horn. II. 
 vii. 348. 
 
 10. Quid Paris? Sfc] He will not be 
 compelled to live safe and happy — i. e. he 
 refuses to give up Helen, which is, in effect 
 to renounce his own safety and happiness. 
 Od. i. 15. 
 
 Regnet, fyc] As the son of Icing Priam, 
 the safety of whose kingdom was hazarded. 
 '11. Nestor.] Od. i. 15 ; ii. 9. 
 
 12. Peliden.] Achilles. Od. i. 6. 8. 15. &c. 
 Atriden.] Agamemnon. Od. ii. 4 ; iv. 9. 
 
 Sat. ii. 3. 187. 
 
 13. Hunc] Achilles. 
 Amor.] Love of Briseis. 
 
 Ira, 8cc] Inflames both in common — alike.

 27. Nos, eye] We, who do not follow the 
 
 example of activity and wisdom thus set by

 dissuade young Lollius from indulging in the 
 kind of life led by the suitors of Penelope 
 and Alcinous.

 NOTES. 
 
 EPIST. III. 
 
 The poet begs his friend Florus — an officer 
 in the suite of Tiberius — to send him word 
 where the army is, and what himself, and 
 others of their common acquaintance, are 
 doing, as to literary matters. 
 
 2. Claudius.'] Tiberius Claudius Nero, at 
 the time governor of Syria. 
 
 Augudi privignus.] Added, not, of course, 
 for information, but for the sake of shewing 
 his respect for Augustus by naming him. The 
 poet never loses an opportunity. Od. iv. 14. 20. 
 
 Scire laboro.] I am anxious to know. Sat. 
 ii. 8. 19. 
 
 3. Nivali romp. SfcJ] 1. e. the frozen Hebrus 
 — the chief river of Thrace, now the Maritz. 
 
 4. Freta.~] The Hellespont — the straits 
 of Gallipoli — which run between the opposite 
 castles of Sestos and Abydos. There is a 
 constant current from the Black Sea. 
 
 5. An pingues, 8fC.~\ Or are you still among 
 the fertile plains and hills of Asia ? i. e. Asia 
 Minor. Comp. Sat. i. 7- 19- 
 
 (i. Quid, <yc] What literary works are 
 they meditating ! 
 
 Cohors.~\ The suite of Tiberius — his court, 
 in the modern sense. Sat. i. 7 23. 
 
 Studiosa.'] Many of whom seem to have 
 cultivated literature — Titius, Celsus, Muna- 
 tius, &c. 
 
 7/rfv quoque, 4'^] These matters too I am 
 anxious to hear about. 
 
 8. Longum diffundit, Sfc.~] Hand down to 
 distant ages — by history. 
 
 Bella et paces.~] The main materials of 
 political history. 
 
 9. Titius.] Titius Septimius — a Roman 
 knight, of whom Horace speaks as a friend of 
 tried fidelity, Od. ii. 6 ; and whom, Ep. i. 9. 4. 
 he introduces to Tiberius as a person deserv- 
 ing of his especial protection. 
 
 Venturus in ora.] Who will soon come 
 into the mouths of the Romans — will soon 
 be talked of — be celebrated for his poetical 
 merits. 
 
 10. Pi?idarici, fyc] Who, daring to spurn 
 common lakes and streams, has not shrunk 
 from draughts, &c. — i. e. who has ventured to 
 imitate the style and spirit of Pindar ; and, of 
 course, the implication is, with no common 
 success. 
 
 11. Lacus, et rivos, Sfc] I. e. drunk by 
 the herd of poets. Titius has too much 
 spirit and talent to take up with common 
 topics. 
 
 12. Ut valet?] How is he? Does he 
 speak of me ? Is he still adapting Theban 
 measures (those of Pindar) to the Latin lyre ? 
 Od. ii. 12. 4 ; iv. 9. 4. 
 
 13. Auspice Musa.] With the auspices 
 and favour of the Muse. 
 
 14. An tragicd, eye] Or is he " tearing 
 passion to rags" in tragedies ? There is ob- 
 viously censure implied in the words desccvit

 NOTES. 
 
 and ampidlatur ; but Horace probably levels 
 that censure at the customary style of tra- 
 gedy, rather than at any peculiar extrava- 
 gance of phrase in his friend. Ep. ad Pis. 
 97- 
 
 15. Quid mihi, fyc] What is my friend 
 Celsus doing? Mihi, tibi, nobis, vobis, often 
 occur in this way, indicative, apparently, of a 
 smile. Catull. 24. 4. 
 
 Celstis.] A poet, who seems to have made 
 free with the verses of others. Probably 
 Celsus Albinovanus, Tiberius's private Secre- 
 tary, to whom Horace's eighth Epistle is ad- 
 dressed. 
 
 16. Privatas ut, Sfc] To draw upon his 
 own resources, and not on the stores of the 
 Palatian library. Sat. i. 4. 22. 
 
 18. Ne, si, <yc] Lest — if bychance the 
 property, which he has made free with, be 
 reclaimed — he should appear as ridiculous as 
 the crow in the fable. 
 
 20. Furtivis.'] Stript of the peacock's 
 feathers he had stolen. 
 
 Ipse quid, Sfc] And what are you yourself 
 attempting ? 
 
 21. Qua, fyc] What flowers are you 
 fluttering round, to sip their sweets, like the 
 active and sedulous bee ? Horace speaks of 
 himself in the same terms. Od. iv. 2. 27- 
 
 22. Ingenium, fyc] Uncultivated talents 
 are compared to lands, which, if neglected, 
 are soon covered with briars and thorns. 
 Horace, of course, compliments Florus on his 
 taste, i. e. cultivated powers. 
 
 23. Seu linguam, fyc] Pleader, lawyer, 
 poet, you will win the palm. 
 
 Linguam acuere.] Prepare for speaking — 
 as we whet a knife for cutting. Cic. Orat. iii. 
 30. uses the same phrase ; and in his Epist. 
 ad Att. ii. 1. has se acuere ad aliquid. XaX- 
 K£v£lv y\wcr<Tav irpog rivi, occurs in Pind. 
 Pyth. i. 86. 
 
 25. Hederce pramia.] Applicable strictly 
 only to the successes of the poets. Some 
 equivalent distinction is implied, in his other 
 capacities. Od. i. 1. 19. 
 
 Quodsi.] If you could — that is, could pre- 
 vail upon yourself to renounce the chiliing 
 anxieties you now foster, you would go where 
 divine philosophy leads. The poet hints that 
 his friend is too intent upon riches. 
 
 26. Frigida curarum /omenta.] I. e. the 
 pursuit of riches — as if they could be neither 
 won, nor possessed, without anxieties. 
 
 Frigida.] Chilling the fervors of elevated 
 feelings. 
 
 28. Hoc opus, fyc] I. e. to renounce selfish 
 interests, and prosecute the study of philoso- 
 phy, with a view to the honourable discharge 
 of the public and private duties of life. 
 
 Parvi et ampli.] Great and small — high 
 and low — rich and poor. 
 
 30. Debes rescribere.] You must write 
 word back too — let me know. 
 
 Si tibi curee.] Scil. tantce. If you are as 
 attentive to him as you ought to be. There 
 had been a quarrel between Florus and Mu- 
 natius.

 NOTES. 
 
 EPISTLE V. 
 
 The poet invites his friend Torquatus to 
 dine with him on the eve of Caesar's birth-day. 
 
 1. Si potes, £fc.~\ If you can— if you can 
 endure to recline, &c. 
 
 Archiacis, 8$c.~\ Dinner-couches made of 
 ordinary materials — with no splendid decora- 
 tions. Said to be named from one Archias, 
 noted for his manufacture of them. 
 
 2. Modicd patelld.] Of a small size — or, 
 rather, like modici canthari, Od. i. 20. 1. of a 
 common quality. The poet obviously pro- 
 poses a plain dinner, but not short, or stinted 
 in quantity. In effect, modica applies to the 
 dinner, and not to the plates. 
 
 Nee times, fyc.~\ Nor shrink from eating 
 your olus on trenchers. 
 
 Olus omne.~\ Comprehensively for the whole 
 
 dinner, as we say, familiarly, take your "mut- 
 ton" — not meaning exclusively or specifically 
 mutton, but " dinner." Olus alludes to the 
 old frugal habits of the ancients. 
 
 3. Supremo, fyc.~] I will wait for you till 
 sun-set. 
 
 Iterum Tauro.~\ When Taurus was Consul 
 the second time — 727- U. C. A few years, it 
 may be supposed, before the date of the 
 Epistle. 
 
 4. Diffusa.] Wine, when transferred from 
 the large vat, or tun, into smaller vessels, was 
 said diffundi — from the dolium to the ampho- 
 ra, defundi. 
 
 5. Minturnas.] A town of the old Au- 
 runci — built on the confines of Latium and 
 Campania. 
 
 Petrinum.] A small place in the district of 
 Sinuessae — on the borders of Campania.

 6. Sin melius quid, Sfc] But if you have 
 any thing better that what I have mentioned, 
 — the wine and the olus, &c. 
 
 Arcesse.~\ Bid them be brought — give di- 
 rections to send them; as, in Od. iv. 12. 16. 
 he bids Virgil bring his nard with him. 
 
 Vel imperium fer.] Or, submit to my 
 orders — be content with what I shall give 
 you. 
 
 8. Mitte leves spes.] Instead of levium 
 rerum — with an allusion, probably, to some- 
 thing well understood between Horace and 
 his friend — some hopes, perhaps, not well- 
 founded, of public honours. 
 
 Certamina divit.~] Your exertions, or con- 
 flirts, spent in the chace of riches. 
 
 Moschi c a a. sum.] A cause which Torquatus 
 was engaged to defend. Moschus is said to 
 have been a rhetorician of Pergama, prose- 
 cuted on a charge of poisoning, and defended 
 by Torquatus and Asinius Pollio. 
 
 Nato C<B8. dies, fyc.~\ I. e. dies natalis 
 Casaris — of Julius Caesar, observed by the 
 Romans, iv. Id. Jul. according to Macrobius. 
 Saturn, i. 12. 
 
 10. Dat veniam.'] Gives an opportunity of 
 being idle — of lying later in bed than on days 
 of business — a holiday. 
 
 Impune licebit.] You may safely spend the 
 whole summer's night — that is, this night, in 
 agreeable chit-chat. 
 
 Impune] For the courts will be closed — 
 DO business will be done to morrow ; and you 
 may lie in bed as long as you like. 
 
 11. .Ksliram.] The 12th of July. 
 
 12. Quo mihi.] Scil. prodest. Quo, instead 
 of quoi, and that for cui. Sat. i. 6. 24. 
 
 13. Parcus, Sfc] The man who curtails 
 his own comforts, for the sake of his heirs — 
 to accumulate what must, after all, fall to his 
 heirs — . 
 
 14. Assidet insano.] Sits beside — /. e. is 
 on the same seat with the madman — belongs 
 to the same class, or caste. 
 
 15. Patiarque, Sfc] And suffer myself to 
 be regarded — and willingly be thought a heed- 
 less, reckless fellow. Od. ii. 7- 23. furere, 
 and Od. iv. 12. 28. desipere. 
 
 16. Designat.] Take the seal from — disclose 
 — give expression to. 
 
 Operta recludit ] Discovers — throws open. 
 Epod. 11.14. 
 
 17- Spes jubet, $c] Od. iii. 21. 17. 
 
 18. Onus eximit.] Disburdens of our cares 
 — drives them away. 
 
 Addocet artes.] Sets people, for instance, a- 
 dancing, or singing — things which they never 
 attempted before. Raises their spirits, till 
 they think themselves fit for anything. 
 
 19. Fecundi.] Supplying materials — en- 
 riching — as the Nilus, which fertilizes the 
 lands, is called fecundus. Plin. v. 9. 
 
 20. Solutum.] Scil. from care — roused to 
 hilarity. 
 
 Contracta.] Which draws together into a 
 small compass — narrow. 
 
 21. licec] Which follow— we turpi, $c- 
 Inijicror.] I am commanded — i.e. I know 
 
 your wishes, and they are commands with 
 me.

 many you wish or mean to be — that is, either,

 locus est pluribus umbris. 
 
 Rebus.] The business — or the causes which 
 Torquatus had to attend to. 
 
 31. Atria servantem.] Waiting for you in 
 the hall — watching your coming out, to ad-

 EPISTLE VI. 
 
 Horace inculcates the doctrine that human 
 felicity depends upon equanimity — which no- 
 thing but philosophy can secure. 
 
 1. Nil admirari.} To be surprised at no- 
 thing — to preserve one's equanimity unshaken 
 either by desires or fears — a state which De- 
 mocritus expressed by the term aSrafifiia. 
 Cic. de Fin. v. 29. Admirari here embraces 
 all the stronger affections, so far as they are 
 
 sources of disquietude. Mndev Bav}iaZ,£iv

 each other according to the course of the ^111.

 pulse, &c. — is affected, is agitated like the 
 man who desires riches, honours, &c. 
 
 10. Favor est, 8fc] The moment some un- 
 foreseen occurrence surprises both — on both 
 sides is there fear, coupled with pain and an- 
 noyance. The man who fears is shaken by 
 the stroke ; and the man who desires, by the 
 disappointment of his hopes.

 joices or grieves— -desires or fears — what Is it 
 to the purpose — what difference docs it make. 
 
 if, at whatever he sees better or worse than he 
 expected, he is struck dumb — fixed in amaze-

 21. Ne plus, Sfc] Labour from morning 
 till night, lest Mutus should reap from the

 do from yours — i. e. lest he should be richer 
 than you; and — disgraceful thing ! for lie is 
 your inferior in birth — be rather an object of

 Ccerites.] The people of Caere, in Etruria, 
 were, at an early period, presented by the 
 senate with the freedom of the city : but, as 
 was usual at the time, not invested with the 
 rights of suffrage. This was no discredit to 
 them ; but Roman citizens deprived of these

 NOTES. 
 
 EPIST. VII. 
 
 The poet, while apologising to Maecenas for 
 continuing in the country beyond the period 
 he had fixed, assures him that he does not 
 there forget his great obligations to him ; and 
 concludes his apology with the story of Phi- 
 lippus and Mena, as one applicable to his own 
 case, if Maecenas exacts the sacrifice of his 
 personal comforts. 
 
 1. Quinque, fyc] Though, when I set out 
 for the country, I promised not to be there 
 more than five days, I have not kept my word, 
 (mendax;) for you have been expecting my 
 return the whole month of August. — I have 
 been absent a month. 
 
 2. Sextilem.] The months at Rome were 
 at first reckoned from March, and named nu- 
 merically. Sextilis, or Sextus, was afterwards 
 called Augustus, in honour of Augustus, as 
 Quintilis before had been called Julius, (July,) 
 in honour of Julius Caesar. 
 
 Atqui.] But yet — i. e. though I have thus 
 broken my engagements, and protracted my 
 absence — . 
 
 3b Si me vivere vis.~\ If you wish me to live, 
 and to see me (recte val.) in health, you will 
 grant me now, when I am afraid of being ill, 
 the favour which you would certainly do, if I 
 was actually ill — i. e. the favour of allowing 
 me to remain longer in the country. 
 
 5. Dum, $fc.~] At this unhealthy season — 
 the autumn. The Epistle was written, it may 
 be supposed, iii the beginning of September. 
 
 finis prima.] Descriptive of autumn — 
 ■when the figs begin to ripen, and the exces- 
 
 sive heat occasions disease and death. Sat. ii. 
 6. 19. 
 
 6. Designatorem.] The undertaker — who 
 arranges the appointments, and directs the 
 procession. 
 
 Lictoribus.] The undertaker's suite — 
 dressed in black. 
 
 8. Officiosa sedulitas.] The various duties 
 and offices which demand attention when in 
 town. Sat. ii. 6. 20, &c. 
 
 Opella forensis, fyc] These harassing la- 
 bours in the heat of autumn. 
 
 9. Testamenta resignat.] And opens wills 
 — implying the death of the testators. 
 
 10. Quodsi, fyc] Horace now proposes, 
 for the sake of his health, to go to the sea-side 
 in the winter, and not return to Rome till the 
 spring. 
 
 Quodsi bruma, fyc] If the winter shall 
 cover the Albanian fields (where he now is) 
 with snow, your poet will go to the sea. Not 
 that the going depends on the actual falling 
 of the snow — the use of quodsi is a colloquial 
 one, and the sense simply — In the winter I 
 will go to the sea. Unless quodsi be taken 
 rigorously, as expressing the condition, and 
 the meaning be — If it shall be a severe winter, 
 I will go to the sea, but not otherwise. 
 
 11. Ad mare.] Scil. inferum — the Campa- 
 nian coast — though the bay of Tarentum may 
 be meant. Compare line 45. and Od. ii. G. 
 10. 
 
 Sibi parcet.] And there nurse himself. 
 Sat. i. 4. 127. 
 
 12. Contractusque, £c.] Scil. in locum an- 
 gustum. In some snug spot employ himseli

 with his books. Compare Sat. ii. 3. 11. where 
 the tectum tepidum seems to mean the same 
 thing. 
 
 14. Calaber hospes.'] As if the Calabrians 
 were notoriously uncouth and coarse. 
 
 15. Tu me fecisti.] The favours you con- 
 ferred on me were not of such things as you 
 yourself regarded not, like the pears which 
 the Calabrian forced upon his visitor because 
 they were worthless ; but such as became a 
 good and wise man to offer a deserving one. 
 
 Fescere, 8fc.~\ Eat, pray — pressing them 
 upon his guest, who had already taken some. 
 
 16. Jam satis est.] I have had enough. 
 At tu quant. Sfc] But take as many with 
 
 you as you like — put some in your pocket. 
 
 Benigne.] You are very good — a courte- 
 ous mode of declining, as in line 62. 
 
 18. Tarn teneor, <yc] I am as much obliged 
 as if, &c. 
 
 19. Ut libet, Sfc] As you please — the pigs 
 will have them. 
 
 20. Odit.] I. e. non amat. 
 
 21. Haec, eye] These are fields which have 
 produced, and always will produce worthless 
 fruits. — Such sort of favours can never excite 
 grateful feelings. 
 
 Ingratos.] What gives no pleasure — 
 causes no gratitude. 
 
 22. Fir bonus, fyc] Such as you, Maece- 
 nas, ready to serve the worthy, and them 
 only. He discriminates in his favours. 
 
 Paratus.] Greek for paratum. 
 
 23. Nee tamen, <yc] Knows the difiereace 
 
 between money and counters — distinguishes 
 between the worthy and worthless. 
 
 Lupinis.] A species of pulse, used as count- 
 ers by children in their games, and on the 
 stage, as the representatives of money. In 
 Plaut. Pcen. iii. 2. 20. they are called aurum 
 Comicum. 
 
 24. Dignum praestabo.] I will prove my- 
 self worthy of your favours. 
 
 Pro laude.] In proportion to the merit of 
 the deserver — i. e. to the full extent of the 
 favour. 
 
 25. Quodsi, <yc] If you wish me never to 
 quit you, but be always near you at Rome, 
 you must give me back my health, and youth, 
 and youthful spirits. In my present state, 1 
 am no longer able. 
 
 26. Latus.] Every where used for bodily 
 strength — as being the part where vigour, 
 and the want of it, are most felt. 
 
 Nigros, <yc] The black curls which shaded 
 my brows in my younger days. Horace was 
 now gray and bald. Baldness gives the ap- 
 pearance of what we should call a high forehead, 
 rather than a broad one. Comp. Od. i. 33. 5. 
 
 27. Dulce loqui.] Od. i. 22. 24. My collo- 
 quial powers — when my conversation, inspired 
 by youthful spirits, was gay and animated. 
 
 Reddes, £c] You must restore me to what 
 I was, when it was not unbecoming my years 
 to indulge in laughter, or, over our cups, to 
 whine at the desertion of Cinara. 
 
 28. Cinarae.] Horace's chief favourite. Od. 
 iv. 1. 3,4.

 me, as if I had crept into your favour, to fat- 
 ten upon you, &c.

 again — as a proof of disinterestedness. Od. iii. 
 29. 54. 
 
 35. Kec somnum, <yc] That vulgar apathy 
 which is content with food and sleep — I can- 
 not commend such a condition ; nor would I 
 exchange my free and independent leisure for 
 the riches of the East. 
 
 Altilium.] Dainties — poultry fattened. 
 
 37- Scepe verecundum.] You have often 
 praised me as a modest man — content as I 
 have shewn myself with the competency you 
 conferred on me. 
 
 Rexque, Sfc] Nor have I failed to acknow- 
 ledge my obligations. King and father — 
 terms indicative of respect, and acknowledge- 
 ment of patronage — I call you in your absence, 
 as well as in your presence. 
 
 38. Judttti, \r.] You have always heard — 
 implying, you have always been so called by 
 me. Male and bene audire are of common 
 occurrence, with a similar implication.

 41. Non est, fyc] Ithaca is not a country 
 fit for horses — it has neither extensive plains, 
 nor does it abound in pastures. 
 
 Ut.] Instead of ut pote, or quippe. 
 
 44. Parvum, <yc] I am not fit for Rome ; as 
 little as Mena for the country — a story which 
 Horace tells dramatically. 
 
 Regia Roma.] As domina, Od. iv. 14. 44 ; 
 and princeps urbium, Od. iv. 3. 13. 
 
 45. Vacuum.] Free from the tumults of 
 business — a place for retirement and study. 
 As vacua Athena, Ep. ii. 2. 81. Neapolis is, 
 in the same sense, otiosa. Ep. 5. 43. 
 
 Imbelle Tarentum.] Peaceful and quiet. 
 Molle, Sat. ii. 4. 34. Ovid too describes Ta- 
 rentum as molle. Met. 15. 50. 
 
 46. Philippus.] L. Philippus Marcius — 
 well entitled to the epithets strenuus et fortis, 
 according to the account which Cicero gives 
 of him, Brut. 47. He was consul 698 U. C.

 The poet speaks of himself as more ill in 
 mind than body — in a hypochondriac state — 
 resisting the advice of his friends and physi- 
 cians, &c. The Epistle is probably addressed 
 to the same Celsus mentioned in Ep. i. 3. 15, 
 as making free with other people's poetry ; 
 and certainly does not breathe much of the

 writing to his friends.

 NOTES. 
 
 EPIST. IX. 
 
 While commending to the 
 Tiberius his friend Septimius, 
 
 protection of 
 as a man of 
 excellent qualities, and affecting to speak 
 lightly of his own influence, the poet dex- 
 trously shews his confidence in the result of 
 the introduction. 
 
 1. Septimius.^ Titius Septimius, a tragic 
 poet, of whose merits Horace professes high 
 admiration, in Ep. i. 3. 9. 
 
 Nimirum, ^"c] He must, without doubt, 
 know better than any body else, in what 
 estimation you hold me. 
 
 Nimirum.] I. e. mirum ni — a marvel, un- 
 less so and so — a matter about which there 
 can be no question ; and hence used adverb- 
 ially for doubtless. 
 
 2. Nam, Sfc] For — assigning a reason for 
 such conclusion — in pressing me to introduce 
 him, and supposing me to have influence 
 enough with you to serve him, he must see 
 and know about the matter much more than 
 I do myself. 
 
 Prece cogit.~\ By his importunities prevails 
 with me. 
 
 3. Scilicet ut.] For this purpose, truly — 
 above all things in the world — to use my 
 endeavours to introduce him to you. 
 
 4. Dignum mente.] With qualities likely 
 to ensure the approbation of Tiberius. 
 
 Domo.] And worthy of associating with 
 those who frequent his house — his friends — 
 alluding especially to the suite of Tiberius. 
 
 Neronis legentis.] A prince who selects — 
 i. e. for his service or confidence — none but 
 men of worth. 
 
 5. Munere quum fungi, §c] That I am a 
 confidential friend, and have great influence 
 with you. Censet expresses not a simple 
 opinion — but deliberate sentiment, founded 
 on full knowledge — as a senator delivers his 
 convictions. 
 
 6. Valdius.] Ep. ad Pis. 321. 
 
 7. Cur excusatus.] To be allowed to de- 
 cline introducing my friend. 
 
 8. Sed timui, Sfc] Lest I should be 
 thought to represent my relations with you, 
 as feebler than they really are. 
 
 9. Dissimulator, eye] One who conceals 
 his real influence — reserving it all for his own 
 advantage. 
 
 10. Sic, Sfc] So, i. e. to prevent the pos- 
 sible misconstruction of my motives — escap- 
 ing from the disgrace of the greater offence, 
 I have come down — I am driven to the ho- 
 nour of civic impudence — to escape the charge 
 of unkindness to a friend, I incur that of im- 
 pudent importunity. 
 
 11. Prcemia.] Opposed to the opprobria. 
 
 12. Ob amici jussa.] At the commands of 
 a friend. 
 
 13. Scribe, $c] Enroll him in the list of 
 your friends — place him in your suite — your 
 establishment. 
 
 Fortem.] Able and good.

 NOTES. 
 
 EPIST. X. 
 
 Tbe poet professes his admiration of a 
 country life compared with a town one — 
 differing in this single respect from his dear 
 friend Fuscus. 
 
 1. Fuscum, Sfc] Fuscus Aristius, a poet, 
 and orator. The twenty-first Ode of the first 
 book is addressed to the same person. 
 
 3. Ad ccetera, fyc] All but twins in other 
 respects. Sat. ii. 3. 243. 
 
 4. Et alter.] Soil, negat. What one re- 
 jects, the other rejects too. 
 
 5. Annuimus.] Our sentiments concur — 
 we are as unanimous as a couple of old turtle- 
 doves. 
 
 6. Tu nidum, fyc] You. keep the nest, in 
 which you were bred — the city. Nidum is 
 suggested by columbi, or rather, is studiously 
 selected in congruity with it. 
 
 8. Quid quarts ?] Colloquially for tie 
 m a It a. In short. 
 
 Vivo et regno.~\ I am alive, and a king — 
 I feel my own master, and master of all about 
 me, when I get to my villa. 
 
 i). Rumore secundo.] Which you extol so 
 loudly. 
 
 10. Utque.] And I renounce them — the 
 
 city and its accompaniments — with as much 
 disgust as a priest's slave loathes the sacrificial 
 cakes, and runs away to escape them. 
 
 11. Egeo.] I have no bread, and long for 
 some — now become far better to my taste 
 than the eternal sweets. 
 
 12. Vivere, Sfc] If, as philosophy tells us, 
 we are to live according to the dictates of na- 
 ture — that is, with simplicity and moderation. 
 
 1 3. Ponendce domo.] To build a house upon. 
 
 14. Rure beato.] Happy — expressive of 
 the feelings of the speaker — what makes, or 
 is supposed to make, those who live in it 
 happy. Epod. 2. 
 
 15. Est ubi, <yc.] Where are the winters 
 warmer ? Od. ii. 6. 16. with respect to Ta- 
 rentum. 
 
 Ubi gratior.] Where does a more grateful 
 breeze soothe the rage of the dog-star, &c. 
 
 16. Momenta.] The times of the Lion — 
 the season in which the Sun moves through 
 the Lion — in which that raging constellation 
 receives the intense sun. 
 
 17- Acutum.] Applied to both excesses — 
 of heat and cold. Od. i. 9. 4. 
 
 18. Invida cura.] The cura with which 
 those are tortured who envy the successes of 
 others.

 NOTES. 
 
 38. Non depulit.~\ Was not able to do so, 
 but was ever after compelled to submit to a 
 master's controul. 
 
 39. Sic, qui, 4'c] So, the man who by 
 dreading poverty loses his freedom, will be 
 compelled, like the horse, to carry a master, 
 and be a slave for ever. 
 
 Pauperiem veritus.'] I. e. who has an un- 
 reasonable dread of it — the hoarder. 
 
 Potiore.'} More precious than metals. 
 
 Metallis.] Contemptuously, like lamina, 
 in Od. ii. 2. 3. 
 
 40. Dominion vehet.] Alluding to the horse 
 of the fable. 
 
 Improbus.] The word marks obliquity in 
 the conduct of the hoarder. In Od. iii. 24. 
 62. occurs divit'uz improbce, with the same 
 implication. 
 
 41. Quia, <yc] Such a man will never be 
 content with a little — with what will supply 
 the simple wants of nature. 
 
 42. Cui non conveniet, fyc] If a man's 
 circumstances do not fit him — i. e. are too 
 great or too little for his habits or wants, 
 they will be to him like a shoe, which, if too 
 large, throws him down, if too small, pinches 
 him. 
 
 Ul calceus olim.] As a shoe sometimes. 
 44. Lcetus, Sfc] Be content with your 
 
 lot, and you will live wisely, and, of course, 
 happily. 
 
 45. Nee me, eye] Nor will you let me go 
 off without a whipping, if ever I shall seem 
 to you — if ever you catch me scraping to- 
 gether more than nature requires, and not 
 relaxing when the competency is accom- 
 plished. 
 
 47. Imperat, fyc] Money collected by 
 any one — that is, in amount beyond his real 
 occasion for it — becomes his master, not his 
 slave. Ep. i. 2. 62. 
 
 48. Digna sequi, <yc] Which is fit — which 
 ought only to follow — not guide the rope — 
 i. e. to be led, not to lead. 
 
 Digna sequi.] Instead of digna qua: se- 
 quatur. 
 
 49. Hcec tibi, Sfc] I. e. I am inditing this 
 epistle to you behind, &c. — a slave writes to 
 his dictation. 
 
 Vacunat.] A Sabine Goddess — the Victory 
 of the Romans, according to Varro. The 
 old ruinous temple was, apparently, in the 
 neighbourhood of Horace's villa. In his 
 rambles he sat himself down by it, and com- 
 posed this epistle. 
 
 50. Excepto, §c] Contented — happy in 
 all respects — with the exception of your not 
 being with me.

 NOTES. 
 
 EPIST. XL 
 
 The poet tells BuIIatius, who seems to be 
 travelling to remove disagreeable but fanciful 
 impressions, that they are to be gotten rid of, 
 not by distant excursions, but by an effort of 
 the mind — by the exertion of his understand- 
 ing, &c. 
 
 1. Quid tibi, fyc] How do you find 
 Chios ? 
 
 Chios, fyc] Chios, Od, iii. 19. Lesbos, 
 Od. i. 17- and 32 ; ii. 13. Samos — all islands 
 of the iEgean. 
 
 Nota.~\ More for the birth of Sappho and 
 Alcseus, than for the superiority of its wines. 
 Od. i. 19. 21. 
 
 2. Concinna.'] The chief town of the 
 island — called concinna, from the buildings — 
 or general construction of the place — neat, 
 regular, and pretty. 
 
 Sardis.] The old capital of Lydia — the 
 seat of Croesus's empire. 
 
 3. Smyrna.] On the Ionian coast of Asia 
 Minor — now the centre of the Levant trade. 
 
 Colophon.] Once a town of considerable 
 population and commerce — on the coast be- 
 tween Smyrna and Ephesus. 
 
 Majora, 8fC.] Do they surpass or fall short 
 of the report of them ? 
 
 4. Campo.] Soil. Martio. 
 
 Cunctane, Sfc] Is every thing compared 
 with the Campus and the Tiber, wretched 
 
 and worthless ? does nothing please you, after 
 all, like Rome ? 
 
 5. An venit, Sfc] Or are you wishing to 
 live in one of the towns which once belonged 
 to the realm of Attalus 1 Besides Pergamus 
 the capital, Myadus, Apollonia, Tralles, Thy- 
 atira, &c. were populous places. 
 
 Attalicis.] Od. i. 1. 12; ii. 18. 
 
 7- Scis, 8fc] The poet expresses here, the 
 sentiments of BuIIatius — they are his sup- 
 posed reply to Horace's questions. 
 
 Scis, 8$ c] You know, says BuIIatius, what 
 a place Lebedus is — how deserted ! 
 
 Lebedus.] On the Ionian coast — once a 
 considerable place, but ruined by Lysimachus, 
 who transferred the inhabitants to Ephesus. 
 
 Gabiis desertior.] A village more desolate 
 — less populous than Gabii (a small place be- 
 tween Rome and Praeneste) and Fidence, (an 
 old Sabine town). The two places are cou- 
 pled by Juvenal, x. 100. 
 
 9. Oblitusque, fyc] BuIIatius is out of 
 spirits — and wishes to fly from society. 
 
 10. Neptunum, 8fc] Lucret. ii. 1, &c. 
 
 11. Sed neque, <yc] Horace resumes in his 
 own person — and in an expostulatory tone 
 urges BuIIatius to return to Rome. 
 
 Qui Capua, §c] The traveller from Capua 
 to Rome, when wet and covered with mud, 
 does not wish to spend his life at an inn, be- 
 cause he can there change his clothes, and 
 refresh himself.

 NOTES. 
 
 12. Nee qui, fyc] Nor does the man who 
 has taken cold eulogize stoves and hot-baths, 
 as things which constitute the felicity of life, 
 though he finds them useful and agreeable for 
 the occasion. 
 
 15. Nee, si, fyc] Nor, though a violent 
 storm have tossed you about on the sea, should 
 you, for that, sell your ship, the other side of 
 the iEgean — and thus preclude your return. 
 
 16. JEgamm,] Od. ii. 1G. 2. 
 
 17. Incolumi, fyc] To a man in health — 
 in a sound state of body and mind, or who 
 has no particular occasion for going there, 
 Rhodes or Mitylene do the same thing as — 
 i, e. are no more desirable than a great-coat 
 in summer, &c. 
 
 Rhodos et Mitylene.'] Od. 1. 7. 1. 
 
 18. Penula.] A thick, heavy cloak, worn 
 by travellers. 
 
 C(in>pestre.~\ Scil. velamentum, or subliga- 
 culum. The short breeches worn in the Campus 
 Martins, when young men stript for the gym- 
 nastics. 
 
 20. Dum licet, fyc] While it is in your 
 power, and Fortune smiles, (Bullatius's trou- 
 ble !fl seem to be imaginary ones) let Samos be 
 lauded at Rome, and Chios and Rhodes at a 
 distance — i. e. keep at home. 
 
 24. Libenter.'] With pleasure, or satisfac- 
 tion. 
 
 25. Nam si, fyc] For if it be the mind 
 which by exerting its energies, removes anx- 
 ieties, and not distant and beautiful places, 
 they who cross the seas only change the cli- 
 mate — not their feelings. 
 
 26. Locus effusi, fyc] A spot which com- 
 mands an extensive view of the sea. 
 
 28. Strenua nos, fyc] An activity exerted 
 for no serviceable purpose — in pure waste. 
 
 29. Petimus, fyc] I. e. a place where we 
 may do so. 
 
 Hie est, fyc] It is here — it is at Ulubrce — 
 any where, if your own equanimity does not 
 desert you. 
 
 30. Ulubris.] A poor deserted spot, in the 
 Pomptine fens. Cicero, in a letter to Treba- 
 tius, whose birth-place it was, has a joke on 
 the frogs. According to Suetonius, Augustus 
 was brought up, if not born, ju.vta Velitras, 
 meaning at Ulubrae — a fact perhaps not known 
 to Horace. 
 
 Animus cequus.] I. e. which does not waver 
 in its purposes — is not swayed by fancies, as 
 Horace plainly hints the mind of Bullatius 
 was. Pol si est animus jequus tibi, satis habes 
 qui bene vitam colas. Flaut. Aulul. ii. 2. 10.

 NOTES. 
 
 EPISTLE XII. 
 
 The poet advises Iccius, still complaining 
 and anxious, to moderate his desires, and be 
 content with the abundance at his command. 
 In Od. i. 29. Iccius seems to have deserted 
 his books for arms, in pursuit of riches ; and 
 here it is pretty clearly hinted, in lines 8, 14, 
 21, he had the same sordid hankering. Writ- 
 ten 734 U. C. 
 
 1 . Fructibus, fyc] According to the Scho- 
 liast, after Iccius had failed in making his for- 
 tune by war, Agrippa entrusted him with the 
 superintendence of his large estates in Sicily. 
 
 2. Si recte frueris.] If you make a proper 
 use of the advantages you enjoy from the 
 management of Agrippa's domains. 
 
 Non est, fyc] Jupiter himself cannot con- 
 fer more. Same construction in Od. iii. 1. 19. 
 
 3. Tolle querelas.'] I. e. relative to his 
 property. Iccius, it must be supposed, had 
 been croaking. 
 
 4. Pauper non est, 8fc] The man is not 
 poor who has enough for the wants of nature. 
 
 Rerum usus.] I. e. res ad usum — indis- 
 pensable for the subsistence of life. 
 
 5. Si ventri.'] If you are in health — your 
 stomach in order, &c. 
 
 Lateri pedibusque.] Lungs and legs — 
 sound, as is said of horses, wind and limb. 
 
 6. DiviticB regales.] The wealth of kings, 
 &c. 
 
 7- Si forte, fyc] If, though in the midst 
 of abundance, you live on vegetables, you will 
 
 so live henceforth — i. e. the consequence will 
 be, you will be made of gold. 
 
 Si forte.] The poet thus qualifies the harsh- 
 ness of the implication — of course Iccius did 
 so live. 
 
 Positorum.] Placed before him — at his dis- 
 posal. Iccius, it may be supposed, was libe- 
 rally remunerated, — in proportion to the 
 importance of the trust. 
 
 9. Rivus inauret.] As if the Pactolus flowed 
 over him, and covered him with gold — allud- 
 ing, perhaps, to the fables of Midas. 
 
 10. Vel quia, Sfc] Two reasons why Ic- 
 cius's property must increase — either because 
 money cannot change its nature, i. e. in a 
 commercial sense, money makes money ; — or, 
 because Iccius, devoted as he is to better 
 things, has, as Horace affects to say, too much 
 contempt for money to use it, and therefore it 
 must accumulate. 
 
 12. Miramur, fyc] We admire Democritus, 
 who, intent as he was on higher matters, suf- 
 fered his property to be invaded ; — but with 
 little reason, when we see you, in the midst of 
 such sordid desires, and such temptations of 
 gain, spend your wisdom on no petty matters, 
 but are still, as in former days, occupied with 
 the sublimest, Src. 
 
 Pecus.] Cattle belonging to other people 
 — not to Democritus. Diogenes Laertes speaks 
 of his neglect of his affairs, ix. 39. 
 
 13. Dum peregre.] As if his mind was far 
 away from his body — detached from the con- 
 cerns of life.

 NOTES. 
 
 14. Scabiem.'] I. e. of those who were on 
 the estate — intent upon gain by the most 
 grovelling means. 
 
 15. Nil parvum sapias.] Said ironically, 
 doubtless. Iccius, perhaps, availing himself 
 of his position, was speculating on some piti- 
 ful gains. 
 
 16. Mare conipescant, fyc] Keep it within its 
 bounds. Virg.Georg.ii.477- Propert.iii.5.25. 
 
 Temperet annum.] Governs the year — in 
 its successive seasons. 
 
 17- Stella sponte, 8$c.~] I. e. the planets. 
 
 18. Quid premat, Sfc] What makes the 
 moon wane, and what makes it increase ? — 
 what suppresses or diminishes the light of the 
 moon, and what produces its orb, or fills it 
 with light? 
 
 VJ. Quid velit, 8fc.~\ What is its aim, and 
 what its power. 
 
 Concordia discors.] The union of effects 
 produced by opposing powers — though con- 
 flicting with each other, combining to preserve 
 the universe. Ovid, Met. i. 430. 
 
 20. Empedocles.] A philosopher and poet 
 of Agrigentum, who, in his cosmogony, mixed 
 up the new elements of concord and discord 
 among the four old ones employed by other 
 philosophers. Cic. Orat. i. 50. 3. 
 
 Stertinium.] Sat. ii. 3. 33. 
 
 21. Seu pisces.] Whether you eat fish — 
 i. r. live nobly — or leeks and onions, i. e. mi- 
 stily— alluding to his sordid mode of life, as 
 in lines 7> 8- 
 
 Trucidas.] Whether you kill fish or onions 
 — applied to leeks and onions,in a Pythagorean 
 sense, as if Iccius covered his stinginess by 
 religious oi philosophical scruples. 
 
 22. Utere, fyc] Invite Pompeius Gros- 
 phus to your house, and treat him handsomely. 
 
 Et si quid, fyc] If ultro be construed with 
 defer, the sense will be — if he ask a favour, 
 grant it promptly. If with petet — if he ask 
 before you make him an offer of service, 
 grant, &c. 
 
 23. Verum.] Right or proper, as often. 
 Ep. i. 7. 8. 
 
 24. Vilis amicorum, fyc] The cost is cheap 
 — nobody will think of the price — when good 
 friends want help ; and Grosphus will ask 
 nothing but what is right. If you help a 
 good man, like Grosphus, you make a friend 
 at a cheap sacrifice, for he will not require 
 much. 
 
 Deest.] Monosyllable, as in Sat. ii. 2. 98. 
 
 26. Cantaber.] The Cantaber has at last 
 fallen under the valour of Agrippa. Od. iii. 
 8. 22. 
 
 27- Armenius.] After the death of Ar- 
 taxia by the treachery of his family, Tigranes 
 was appointed by Augustus to the throne, 
 and conducted to his kingdom by Tiberius. 
 Horace, like a skilful courtier, assigns to Ti- 
 berius all the glory of a conquest. 
 
 Phraates.] Alarmed at the approach of the 
 Roman troops, Phraates hastened to conciliate, 
 by surrendering the standards of Crassus, &c. 
 Od. iii. 5. 
 
 28. Genibus minor.] Descriptive of sub- 
 mission. As an inferior at the knees of Cae- 
 sar, prostrate — as represented in medals. 
 
 Aurea fruges, fyc] The harvest in Italy 
 is most abundant. Od. i. 17- 14. Carni. 
 Sac. 50.

 EPISTLE XIII. 
 
 Horace directs Vinius Asella, who is charged 
 with some verses for Augustus, to be very- 
 careful of them, and deliver them at a pro- 
 pitious moment, and not by his awkwardness 
 act like his namesake. 
 
 1. Ut proficiscentem.'] Horace now puts 
 hastily on paper what he had urged orally, 
 often, and in many words — as a man with 
 such a name might seem to require. 
 
 2. Signata volumina.] The rolls of paper, 
 sealed with Horace's seal — containing his 
 verses, line 17- 
 
 Vini.~\ Not a common tabellarius, or car- 
 rier ; for Horace's directions imply that Vi- 
 nius had access to Augustus, and opportunities 
 of choosing his time for presenting the papers. 
 
 3. Si validus.] If he shall be in good 
 health. Od. i. 31. 17- 
 
 Si latus.] Sat. i. 1. 18. 
 
 4. Ne studio, fyc] Lest in your eagerness 
 to oblige me, by delivering the papers, you do 
 mischief. 
 
 Odiumque.] And bring odium upon my 
 poor papers, by precipitate or ill-timed ofli- 
 ciousness. 
 
 6. Si te, Sfc] If the packet fatigue you 
 by its weight. 
 
 7. Abjicito, <5*c] Throw away your pan- 
 niers, and their contents, any where, rather 
 
 than dash them down clumsily in the presence 
 of Augustus — like an ass, as you are. 
 
 8. Clitellas.~] An ass's payiniers. The 
 word is selected in allusion to Vinius's cog- 
 nomen of Asella, as is d\soferus. 
 
 9. Et fabula, §c] And you get laughed 
 at, like an ass — a ridicule in which Horace 
 and his verses would be involved. 
 
 10. Viribus uteris.'] You will exert your 
 best energies over hills, rivers, bogs, &c. — 
 still with allusion to the ass. 
 
 11. Victor propositi.] Scil. itineris. As 
 soon as you have accomplished your journey, 
 and reached (illuc) the house of Augustus. 
 
 12. Sic, Sfc] You will hold the packet 
 tints — as I shewed you. 
 
 Ne forte, fyc] Do not carry a packet of 
 books under your arm — as a shepherd does a 
 lamb. 
 
 14. Ut vinosa, §c] Or as drunken Pyr- 
 rhia carries a bundle of stolen wool — in refer- 
 ence to some dramatic character, who stole 
 some wool, and was detected by her mode of 
 carrying it. Said, by one of the Scholiasts, 
 to be in a piece by Titinnius. 
 
 Glomos.] Balls of spun wool. 
 
 15. Ut cum pileolo, §c] Or like a person, 
 who going to dine with a neighbour (one of the 
 same tribe, or division of the town,) carries 
 his slippers and his cap under his arm. Ho- 
 race either speaks of one too poor to employ 
 a slave, — or ridicules some vulgar practice.

 NOTES. 
 
 EPISTLE XIV. 
 
 While ridiculing the bailiff of his villa, for 
 growing weary of the country, which he had 
 professed to like better than town, the poet 
 expresses his own love for the charms of the 
 country. 
 
 1. Fill ice.] The slave, or perhaps as was 
 more usual, a libertus, who had the charge of 
 his farm, and managed his country concerns. 
 
 Jgellu] Of the spot where my little farm 
 is ; where, when escaped from the tumults of 
 town, I feel free and happy. 
 
 2. Habitatum, fyc.] The district in which 
 stood Horace's villa had only five houses, the 
 sturdy owners of which used to frequent Va- 
 ria, the nearest market-town — to which they 
 took their superfluous produce, and exchanged 
 it for other commodities. 
 
 Qucm tu fastidis.'] Which you are weary 
 
 of— on account of its solitude, and want of the 
 accommodations of town. 
 
 4. Certemus, 8{C.~] Instead of your mur- 
 muring at the solitude of the country — let you 
 and I strive or contend with each other, whe- 
 ther I can better pluck up the briars and 
 thorns from the mind, or you from the land. 
 
 5. Et melior, 8fc.~\ And which will prove 
 the better for the culture — I, or my farm. 
 
 G. Me, Sfc] Although my affection and 
 concern for Lamia keeps me in town. Od. i. 
 2C. addressed to the same Lamia. 
 
 8. Istuc.'] Yet my whole soul is there — 
 my only desire is to get to the country — to 
 my farm. 
 
 Mens animusque.] Mens expresses purpose, 
 and animus desire. 
 
 9. Et amal, 8fC.~\ And longs to break down 
 the barriers which impede my free career. 
 The claustra are the repagula, which were 
 removed when the cars were ready to start.

 NOTES. 
 
 EPIST. XV. 
 
 Intending, on the advice of his physician, 
 to visit Velia and Salernum, instead of Baiae, 
 the poet inquires of his friend, Numonius Vala, 
 about the winters there, the air, the people, 
 the roads, corn, water, &c. 
 
 1. Qua, 8fc] The sentence, broken by 
 two parentheses, extends to the twenty-fifth 
 line. 
 
 Quce sit, 8fc.~\ I. e. whether it is mild or 
 severe. 
 
 Ccelum.~\ The air — whether dry or damp. 
 
 Velia.'] A town on the Lucanian coast, a 
 few miles to the north of Cape Palinurus. 
 
 Salerni.] A town in the district of the 
 Picentini, at the head of the bay of Paestum — 
 still called Salerno. 
 
 2. Nam mihi, §c] Musa Antonius tells me 
 the warm waters of Baias do not suit my 
 complaints ; and though it is by his advice, 
 and not by my own desire, that I use cold 
 bathing, the Baians are not pleased with me. 
 
 3. jdntonius.] Augustus's favourite phy- 
 sician — famous for curing the gout by cold 
 water effusions. Sueton. Oct. 59. and 81. 
 
 Supervacuas.] Of no service to me. 
 5. Per medium frigus.] In the middle of 
 winter. 
 
 Sane, fyc] The people of Baiae fret, that 
 their myrtle-groves are abandoned, and their 
 sulphurs so long renowned for expelling from 
 the nerves all lingering diseases — vexed with 
 the sick who venture (against their wills) 
 to plunge into the cold waters of Clu- 
 sium, &c. 
 
 7. Sulphura.] With which the waters were 
 impregnated. 
 
 Vicus.] I. e. the people of Baiae. 
 
 8. Caput supponere, §c] The words might 
 express the taking a shower-bath. 
 
 9. Ciusinis,] Springs of Clusium — in the 
 heart of Etruria. 
 
 Gabiosque.] Ep. i. 11. 7- 
 Frigida rura.] The hills. 
 
 10. Mutandus, fyc] As if already mounted, 
 and on his journey. We must not go to the 
 same place — to Cumae or Baiae, but to Gabii. 
 
 Diversoria nota.] Where the horse had 
 been accustomed to stop — on the way to Baiae 
 or Cumae. 
 
 11. Cumas.] Scil. ad. 
 
 12. Stomachosus.] Vexed at being obliged 
 to give up Cumae and Baiae — or with the horse 
 for his obstinacy. 
 
 13 Dicet.] Will say — i. e. with his left 
 rein — not in words. 
 
 Sed equi, tyc] The horse's ear is in his

 Collectos.] Scil. in cistcrnis. 
 
 16. Nam vina, fyc] For as to the wines 
 of that coast, or region, I have no regard for 
 them — I like them not. 
 
 17- Rare meo.] At home, I can put up 
 with anything. I am not fastidious about 
 wines, bo that I have good water; but when 
 I come to the sea, I must have good wine — 
 better than that of Velia or Salernum.

 30. Savus.] The word is adapted to the 
 wild and devouring animal. 
 
 In quemvis.] Against any one, i. e. who

 considerable enough to take a name — that of 
 Digentia. Od. iii. 13. 
 
 Dare idoneus.] Greek for qui det. Greek 
 idioms often agree better with the Latin than 
 with the English. 
 
 Ut nee frigidior.] As pure and cool as the 
 Hebrus. 
 
 13. Hebrus.] Od. i. 25.

 and, (reading tarn for jam,) if you credit such 
 a thing, so charming, secures me in health in

 Si credis.] Quinctius, so fond of town, 
 might be sceptical on this matter.

 reality what you are said to be. Cic. Off. ii. 12. 
 Audis Sat. ii. 7. 101.

 Rome. The whole of Rome. 
 
 19. Sed vereor, Sfc] But I am afraid you 
 will trust the judgement of others about your- 
 self, rather than your own — for you know, 
 the poet implies, you are not what you seem 
 to be. 
 
 Ne cui de, §c] Like Cato's verse — 
 Plus aliis de te, quam tu tibi credere noli. 
 
 i. 14. 
 
 20. Neve, Sfc] And I am afraid you think 
 others can be happy, besides the wise and 
 good. 
 
 Alium sapiente.] Greek — aWov row ao- 
 <poi>. So in Ep. ii. 1. 240. 
 
 21. Neu, Sfc.] And I am afraid, if the 
 people pronounced you to be in sound health, 
 you would conceal a latent fever, at dinner, 
 till the tremour, falling on your greasy hands, 
 betrayed the fact. 
 
 23. Unctis.] The word indicates that 
 Quinctius's hands would be actually employed 
 in conveying food to his mouth, when he 
 ought to abstain from eating at all.

 away — very well, I reply; you have your 
 reward — you escape a flogging. 
 
 49. Sabellus.~} I. e. Horace himself — as if 
 he spoke in the plain and downright style of 
 an old unsophisticated Sabine, or Samnite. 
 
 51. Opertum.'] Covered by the bait. Ep.

 53. Tu nihil, 8fc.~\ You, the slave, on the 
 other hand, will commit no offence through 
 fear of the penalty. 
 
 54. Sit spes,§c.~\ Should there beany hope 
 of eluding detection, and so of escaping pun- 
 ishment, you will do whatever your passions 
 prompt you — confound sacred with secular — 
 make as little account of the one as the other, &c. 
 
 55. Nam de mille, fyc.~\ When you steal 
 from me only one modius of beans out of a 
 thousand, it is the loss that is less, not the 
 crime — that is the same as if you took the whole. 
 
 57. f^ir bonus, <yc] The man, whom you 
 pronounce good — the ostensible observer of 
 the laws, &c. 
 
 Quern special, dye] Whom they regard 
 with respect and observance. 
 
 59. Clare, quum, fyc] When he has in- 
 voked the name of Jupiter, or Apollo aloud —

 60. Labra movet, eye] Whispers — beau- 
 tiful Laverna, &c. — coaxing the Goddess. 
 
 Laverna.~\ The Goddess of cheats and 
 swindlers. She had a grove by the Via Salaria. 
 
 61. Justo sanctoque] Instead of the accu- 
 sative — not unfrequent with Horace, who in- 
 deed affects Greek constructions. Sat. i. 1. 19. 
 
 Fallere.] As in line 54. 
 
 63. Qui melior, §c] In what respect the 
 miserable wretch, when he stoops to pick up 
 an as stuck in the road, is better, or freer than 
 a slave, I do not see — alluding to the practice 
 of boys fastening coin by some means in the 
 ground, and laughing at the baffled attempts 
 of passers-by to pick it up. Persius v. 3. 
 
 67- Perdidit.] Has lost — has flung away 
 the maxims of philosophy, with which he 
 should contend against avaricious desires. 
 
 Locum virtutis.] The station of virtue — 
 the very position which he was bound to de- 
 fend.

 advice — which is like a blind man's wishing 
 to show the road. 
 
 4. Tamen adspice, Sfc] Still consider whe- 
 ther I too — deficient as I am — may not say 
 something, which you may think worth adopt- 
 ing — something which you may turn to ac- 
 count. 
 
 6. Primam, Sfc] I. e. Till seven o'clock, 
 according to our reckoning. 
 
 7- Pulvis, 8fC.~\ If the dust, and the rattling 
 of the wheels along the streets annoy you. 
 
 8. Caupona.] The confusion and noise of 
 a tavern — a house of entertainment, where 
 you are obliged to sojourn when in town. 
 
 Ferentinum.] I shall advise you to retire 
 to Ferentinum — a quiet and solitary spot of 
 Italy, in the region of the old Hernici. 
 
 9. Nam neque, Sfc] For it is not the rich 
 only to whom pleasure falls — in the country 
 every thing is not exclusively theirs, as it is in 
 town. 
 
 10. Fefellit.'} Has escaped observation — 
 has lived in obscurity— unknown to the world. 
 Ad9e fiiwaag, was an Epicurean maxim. 
 
 11. Si prodesse, Sfc] If you wish to serve 
 your friends — 
 
 Pauloque, <yc] And share yourself a little 
 in the luxuries of life — alluding especially to 
 good dinners 
 
 12. Siccus, <$■<-.] You, who are poor, will 
 approach the rich— will conciliate their fa- 
 vour. 
 
 Siccus.] I. e. the non unci us. The unci us 
 
 is the perfumed — as if none but the rich did 
 or could indulge in the luxury of perfumes. 
 Ep. i. 15. 44. 
 
 13. Si pranderet, <yc] The taunt which 
 Diogenes, while washing some roots, is said to 
 have flung at Aristippus. 
 
 Pranderet olus.'] If Aristippus could dine 
 upon roots — could be content with simple 
 plain fare, &c. Sat. i. 3. 245. 
 
 Patienter.] Contentedly — as became a man 
 professing to instruct others. 
 
 Regibus.] Aristippus lived much at the 
 court of Dionysius of Sicily. Sat. ii. 3. 100. 
 
 14. Si sciret, <yc] If he who thus taunts 
 me — Diogenes — knew himself how to manage 
 kings — to make them contribute to his plea- 
 sures and purposes, &c. 
 
 15. Utrius horum, 8fc.~] Tell me — the sen- 
 timents and conduct of which of these two 
 do you prefer ? 
 
 18. Mordacem, §c] Thus he baffled the 
 snarling cynic. 
 
 19. Scurror ego, fyc] If I play the scurra 
 the agreeable to kings — it is at least for my 
 own advantage; while you amuse the mob 
 without getting any thing by it — without any 
 advantage. 
 
 Rectius, eye] This is surely better and no-

 beg your miserable fare — though you profess 
 to have no wants. 
 
 Vilia rerum.~\ For viles res. 
 
 22. Dante minor.'] Inferior to the giver — 
 as the beggar must always be — while I am the 
 companion of kings, and received with a wel- 
 come. 
 
 23. Omnis, fyc.~\ Aristippus accommodated 
 himself readily to every change of fortune — 
 always willing to improve circumstances, but 
 disposed to enjoy them, whatever they were. 
 
 Color. ~\ Sat. ii. 1. 60. 
 
 Status.] Position in society. 
 
 25. Contra, Sfc] On the contrary, the 
 man, who wraps himself up with an affecta- 
 tion of philosophical endurance, in coarse 
 rags — I should be surprised if he would bear 
 a change of circumstances with propriety. 
 
 Duplici panno.] Like the d'nrXaZ, of Homer, 
 II. iii. 126. Not two garments, but one woven 
 of double threads, and so thicker and coarser. 
 Corn. Nepos in Dat. has amiculum duplex. 
 
 27- Alter, <yc] Aristippus, or any person 
 of his principles — if he had occasion to go 
 any where — would not wait for splendid robes : 
 dressed in any way he would go through 
 crowded places ; and in either case, fine or not 
 fine, rich or poor, would play his part with 
 propriety. 
 
 29. Personamque.] Will personate the cha- 
 racter — will perform his part becomingly. 
 
 30. Alter, fyc] Diogenes, or such as are 
 like him, will fly from a Milesian robe, &c. 
 
 Mileti.] A town of the Ionian coast of 
 Asia Minor — once famous for its woollen ma- 
 nufactures. 
 
 31. Morietur.] Will die with cold, if you 
 will not return him his rags, sooner than put 
 on a Milesian dress, &c. This is in allusion 
 to the story of Diogenes and Aristippus bathing 
 together. Aristippus took Diogenes' coarse 
 rags, and left him his own splendid dress. 
 This Diogenes refused to put on ; which gave 
 Aristippus the opportunity of upbraiding the 
 philosopher with his subserviency to appear- 
 ances, &c. 
 
 32. Refer, Sfc] Give him back his rags, 
 and let the fool live as he pleases. 
 
 33. Res gerere.] To execute the offices of 
 the State successfully, at home and abroad, in 
 peace and in war, &c. 
 
 Captos ostendere, 8fc.] To win the honour 
 of a triumph. 
 
 34. Attingit solium.] Elevates a man to 
 the skies. Od. i. 1. 6. 
 
 35. Principibus, §c] And to have gained 
 the patronage of the great, is not the lowest 
 possible merit. 
 
 36. Non cuivis, Sfc] The well-known 
 Greek proverb — Ov Karroo, avdpoQ fi'c Ko- 
 pivOov to-Q' b ttXovq — i. e. none but the rich 
 could sustain the expence of so voluptuous a 
 residence. So it is not every body who can 
 win the patronage of the great — it requires tact 
 —a peculiar gift — not at every body's command. 
 
 37- Sedit qui, eye] The man who was 
 afraid of not succeeding — of not arriving at 
 his journey's cud, sat down, and would stir 
 no farther. Well, he did right, you may say ; 
 but what say you of the man who did suc- 
 ceed — did arrive at his journey's end — did 
 not he act like a man ?

 38. Atqui, Sfc.~\ But here, or no where, 
 is what we want. It is only in this way — 
 by exertion, that we can accomplish our 
 wishes. 
 
 39. Hic, fyc.~\ One dreads the burden as 
 too great for his small courage and strength — 
 the other takes it up and bears it to the place 
 where it was to go. By all this, Horace urges 
 upon Scaeva the necessity of zealously ex- 
 erting himself, if he wishes to obtain the pa- 
 tronage of the great. 
 
 41. Aut virtus, 8fc.~\ Either virtue is an 
 empty name, or the man who exerts it — who 
 tries his strength — rightly, i. e. successfully, 
 pursues honours and rewards. 
 
 43. Coram rege.~] In the presence of his 
 patron. Horace calls Maecenas his rex. Ep. 
 
 i. 7. 37. 
 
 Sua de paup. §c.~\ Those who say nothing 
 about their poverty will gain more from their 
 patrons, than those who are importunate, &c. 
 
 44. Distat, SfcJ] There is some difference 
 between accepting with modesty — and seizing 
 with none. 
 
 45. Atqui, 8fc~\ Yet this is the source and 
 spring — it is the hinge on which all turns. 
 Importunity will only alienate, &c. 
 
 4fi. Indotata, SfC.~\ The man who says, 
 in the presence of his patron — I have a sister 
 
 unprovided for, &c. does the same thing in 
 effect as if he exclaimed, give me, &c. 
 
 47- Nee pascere firviusJ] Too feeble — too 
 small to support them — not adequate to their 
 maintenance. 
 
 48. Succinit alter, 8fc. ] Another, who hears 
 this complaint, takes up the song — let me too 
 have a slice of the cake. 
 
 50. Sed, 4-c] But if the crow of the fable 
 could have eaten in silence, he would have 
 had more of the spoil, and less contention and 
 envy. The importunate are like him. — It is 
 another disadvantage of scarcely disguised 
 importunity, that others join in the cry — are 
 tempted to do the same thing, and thus lessen 
 the chances of success. 
 
 52. Brundusium.'] On the Apulian coast. 
 Sat. i. 5. 104. 
 
 Surrentum.] A town of Campania, in the 
 bay of Puteoli. 
 
 55. Nota refert, Sfc] Only repeats the 
 tricks of the artful harlot. Compare Plant, 
 in Trucul. i. 1. 32. and Ovid, Art. Am. i. 341. 
 
 Acumina.] Arts — tricks. 
 
 56. Periscelidem.] Either the fastenings 
 of the sandals bound round the leg, and of 
 course ornamental, — or gold and silver rings 
 for the ancles. 
 
 Uti mox, Sfr.] The effect of which is, that

 NOTES. 
 
 EITSTLE XVIII. 
 
 The purpose and tenor of this Epistle are 
 very much the same with the preceding one 
 to Scaeva— both consisting of prudential direc- 
 tions for conciliating the patronage of the great. 
 
 1. Liberrime.] The word frank expresses 
 the sense of liber — a man who gives free ex- 
 pression to his feelings — who disdains to pro- 
 fess one thing and do another — who has no 
 concealments or reserves. 
 
 Lolli.] The young Lollius, to whom the 
 second Epistle is addressed — the eldest son of 
 Lollius Palicanus, the Consul. Od. iv 9. 
 
 2. Professus amicum.] If you have once 
 professed yourself the friend of any one. 
 
 Scurrantis, fyc] To shew yourself — to 
 look like a scurra — a man who plays the flat- 
 terer for sordid purposes. Compare 19 of 
 preceding Epist. 
 
 3. Dispar atque discolor.] Unlike in con- 
 duct and in appearance. 
 
 4. Infido scurrte, Sfc] Scil. ita, not unfre- 
 quently omitted. There is as much difference 
 between a friend and a scurra, as between a 
 woman of honour and a harlot. 
 
 5. Huic vitio.] That of conciliating by 
 adulation, and unworthy compliances. 
 
 6. Asperitas.] A roughness, or bluntness 
 of manner — rustic, rude and offensive. 
 
 7« Qitce se commendat, §c.] As if it were 
 a merit to eschew curls and clean teeth. 
 
 8. Dum vult, <yc] They wish to be re- 
 garded as downright and uncompromising 
 persons. 
 
 9. Virtus est, Sfc] Occupies the middle 
 point between opposite faults — at an equal 
 distance from both. 
 
 10. Alter, Sfc] The scurra — ready for any 
 compliance.

 NOTES. 
 
 Imi derisor, Sfc] As if admitted solely 
 on condition of " keeping the table in a 
 roar." 
 
 Imi lecti.~\ That portion of the triclinium 
 occupied by the ccence magister, beside whom, 
 on the same lectus, reclined the derisor. Comp. 
 Sat. ii. 8. 23. 
 
 14. Mimum tractare, <yc] Or, like a mime, 
 play second — act in subserviency to his 
 principal — so that, as Cicero expresses it, 
 ille princeps quam maxime excellat. Div. 
 Verr. 15. 
 
 12. Cadentia tollit.'] That they may not 
 pass unobserved. 
 
 15. Alter.'] The unlicked brute. 
 
 De land caprina.] Will quarrel about a 
 goat's fleece — whether it is wool or hair — i. e. 
 about the most obvious matter. A proverbial 
 phrase for idle contentions. 
 
 16. Scilicet ut, §c] Not to be credited in 
 what I assert, before others — not to blurt out 
 what I like — another life, as the price, would 
 be contemptible. I would not submit to such 
 conditions to live a second life. 
 
 18. Acriter elatrem.] To bark — to speak 
 at the highest pitch of the voice. 
 
 If). Ambigitur, fyc] What is the subject 
 of contention ? 
 
 Castor, 8fc] Which is the better gladiator 
 — more skilled in the resources of his art ? 
 
 20. Minuci via, §c] The road made by 
 
 L. Minucius, leading from the Porta Minucia, 
 through the Sabine country, to Brundusium. 
 Via Appi.] Epod 4. 14. Sat. i. 5. 
 
 21. Quem damnosa, <yc] As often the ruin 
 of her votary's estates. The fundi calamitas, 
 as Terence has it. 
 
 Prceceps alea, Sfc] The dice which strip 
 the victim of his property — drive him head- 
 long to destruction. 
 
 22. Gloria quem, Sfc] Whom vanity 
 prompts to dress and perfume beyond his 
 purse. 
 
 23. Importuna.] A thirst, which makes 
 him importunate — or forces to ask favours out 
 of season. 
 
 25. Scepe decern, fyc] Such persons, i. e. 
 such as are devoted to women or gaming — 
 the vain, or grasping, or importunate, the 
 rich patron, though himself with ten times 
 more vices, hates, &c. 
 
 26. Regit.] Or, if he does not hate, takes 
 upon him to prescribe the course of conduct 
 they are to observe. 
 
 Ac, Sfc] And, like a fond mother with 
 her children, will have them wiser and better 
 than himself — i. e. in effect, commands them 
 to perform more than he can do himself. 
 
 28. Prope vera.] True enough — not far 
 from the truth. 
 
 Mete, Sfc] My wealth allows of a little 
 folly — is such as excuses the indulgence.

 NOTES. 
 
 29. Stultitiam.'] Display and parade — the 
 ostentation of ample resources. 
 
 30. Arcta.] Opposed to the toga laxa, 
 worn by the rich, &c. Epod. 4. 8. In the 
 following Epistle, Cato's toga is exigua. 
 
 Comitem.~\ One in the suite of a great man. 
 Ep. i. 8. 2. 
 
 31. Eutrapelus.'] P. Volumnius Eutrape- 
 lus, a friend of Antony, the triumvir. Cicero 
 addresses to him the 32d and 33d Epistles 
 of the seventh book, ad Fam. Said to be 
 called Eutrapelus on account of his evrpa- 
 7T£/V ia — a word which Aristotle interprets as 
 7T£7raLdsvfjisvT) v(3pig, which will amount to 
 irony, or rather, sarcasm. From one of 
 Cicero's letters, his jokes were probably coarse 
 enough. 
 
 Eutrapelus, fyc] In his quality of patron, 
 he used to give his dependents splendid 
 dresses, &c. 
 
 32. Beatus enim, fyc] For, as if all at 
 once he were a rich man, he will soon take 
 up, &c. 
 
 34. Scorto postponet, fyc] Will postpone 
 his duties to his pleasures. 
 
 35. Nummos, Sfc] Will borrow money 
 and spend it. 
 
 Ad imum, fyc] And, at last, he will turn 
 Thrcx, or a gardener's carter — in either case 
 Eutrapelus gets rid of him. 
 
 3G. Threx.] For the class of gladiators 
 called Threces, consult Sat. ii. li. 44. 
 
 37- Arcanum, fyc] More cautions for the 
 guidance of candidates for a great man's 
 favour. 
 
 Neque tu, fyc] Nor will you make any 
 attempts to detect the secrets of the great 
 man whose favour you court. 
 
 38. Commissumque.] Nor will you divulge 
 what has been entrusted to you, though urged 
 by wine or rage. Ep. ad Pis. 434. 
 
 39. Nec tua, fyc] Nor will you boast of 
 your own pursuits, or find fault with those 
 of others — those of the great man and his 
 friends. 
 
 40. Nec, Sfc] Nor when he shall be dis- 
 posed to hunt, will you be tagging verses. 
 
 41. Gratia, fyc] So — that is, by oppo- 
 sition of tastes — the affection of the twin 
 brothers, Amphion and Zethus, was broken, 
 till the lyre, detested by Zethus, was silenced. 
 
 Amphionis, Sfc] Of these sons of Jupiter, 
 (by Antiope) Amphion was of a gentle dis- 
 position, and cultivated the Muses, while 
 Zethus was of a rougher cast, cultivated no- 
 thing but the fields, and had no toleration for 
 the other's music. To conciliate his brother, 
 Amphion gave up his lyre. 
 
 42. Severo.] With reference to the severity 
 of his labours — hard working. Lucretius 
 applies the word to husbandmen, v. 1356. 
 
 44. Potentis amici,] Of your patron, who 
 is fond of hunting — do not let your poetry 
 prevent your accompanying him in his sports.

 iEtolia. 
 
 47- InhumctnaJ] Which indisposes to join

 less battles of the Campus Martius. 
 
 55. Cantab.] Ep. i. 12. 26'. 
 5(>. Sub duce.] Augustus. 
 
 (lai tesnpUs, Sfc] The allusion is, of course, 
 to a recent event. The recovery of Crassus'a 
 standards occurred 734 U. C. Od. iv. 15. 6. 
 
 57. Si quid abest.] Whatever countries 
 
 before were not subjugated to the Roman 
 power. 
 
 Adjudicat, <yc] And bids them obey the 
 Romans — such is his unbounded power and 
 authority. 
 
 58. Ac, ne te, fyc] And that you may not 
 draw back — that is, not neglect a due attend- 
 ance on your patron — and be absent with no

 are not wont to do things out of order and 
 measure, you sometimes idle away your time 
 at your father's villa, &c.

 Alterutrum.] Of course, Augustus. 
 
 65. Consentire, fyc] The patron who be- 
 lieves that you sympathise with his pursuits 
 — that of hunting, for instance — will praise 
 yours, whatever they are, even your boyish 
 sports at your father's villa. 
 
 66. Fautor.] Augustus is not meant — 
 Horace manages his compliments more

 Utroque pollice.'] With both his thumbs — 
 to the utmost — in allusion to the custom of 
 the Amphitheatre. The pollex pressus was a 
 token of approbation, while the pollex versus, 
 or subrectus, was one of censure and condem- 
 nation. 
 
 67. Protenus ut, fyc] To proceed with my 
 suggestions. 
 
 68. Quid, fyc] Be on your guard — of 
 whom, and to whom you speak. 
 
 69. Percontatorem.] Shun the inquisitive, 
 for they are always babblers.

 work. 
 
 74. Ne dominus, fyc] Lest the owner of 
 the beautiful boy, or dear little girl, should 
 bless you with the petty favour, or by refus- 
 ing annoy you. 
 
 75. Munere parvo, fyc] But make a merit 
 of it as a mighty favour, and hold himself 
 excused from conferring more important ones. 
 
 76. Adspice, fyc] Consider — as in Ep. i. 
 17.4. 
 
 Ne aliena.] Lest the faults of the person 
 recommended by you bring discredit upon 
 you.

 sometimes recommend an unworthy person. 
 
 Ergo, fyc] In that case— having been 
 yourself thus deceived, no longer protect 
 the man whose own faults bring him into 
 trouble. 
 
 80. Ut, fyc] On the other hand, should

 EPIST. XIX. 
 
 After railing against the common herd of

 poets, Horace claims for himself the merit of 
 being, at least, no servile imitator. 
 
 1. Cratiuo.] A poet of the old comedy. 
 Sat. i. 4. 1. described by Aristophanes (in 
 
 Pace 701.) as dying of grief for the loss of a 
 cask of wine.

 NOTES. 
 
 chus enrolled the poets, in their frenzy, 
 among the Satyrs and Fauns, the dear, de- 
 lightful Muses themselves have often smelt 
 of wine in the morning. 
 
 Male sanos.] In the state of inspiration. 
 Ep. ad Pis. 296. 
 
 4. Ascripsit Liber. ~\ Poets are clientes 
 Bacchi, in Ep. ii. 2. 18. Comp. Od. i. 1. 29. 
 
 5. Camccnce.] Put, playfully, for the vota- 
 ries of the Muses. 
 
 6. Ar -guitar vinosus.~\ Convicts himself of 
 being a drunkard, by his praises of wine. II. 
 vi. 2C1. Odyss. xiv. 463. 
 
 7- Ennius, S^c] Old Ennius himself never 
 started the song of battles till he was drunk. 
 
 Ad anna.] To celebrate the wars of the 
 Romans. Sat. i. 10. 54. 
 
 8. Forum, fyc] Courts of justice, the grave 
 business of which demands sober agents. 
 
 Libonis put.] Sat. ii. 3. 281. 
 
 9. Siccis.] The water-drinkers — opposed 
 to the vino madentes — uvidi. Od. i. 18. 3; 
 iv. 5. 39. 
 
 Adimam.] I shall take from them the 
 right of singing — forbid their making poetry. 
 Severis.] The same as the 'tied. 
 
 10. Hoc simul edixi, Sfc] No sooner did 
 I issue the ordinance, or edict — in the style 
 of a praetor — than the poets, &c. These may 
 have been Horace's own words, in some piece 
 no longer extant. Some of his Bacchanal 
 songs breathe the same tone. If edixit be 
 read, the words may very well be supposed 
 to be too well known to Maecenas to require 
 the name of the author. He would recog- 
 nize them at once. 
 
 12. Quid? si, <yc] If anyone with a stern 
 look, and bare feet, and a scanty toga, should 
 ape the appearance of Cato, would he be a 
 
 representative of the virtue and habits of 
 Cato ? Said by the Scholiast to be the younger 
 Cato, the contemporary of Caesar and Cicero. 
 
 13. Exiguceque, fyc] The weaver of a 
 small toga — i. e. the weaver of the cloth of 
 which the scanty toga w r as made — and cir- 
 cumstantially for a small toga. Ep. i. 1. 94. 
 
 15. Rupit, fyc] His tongue, emulous of 
 that of Timagenes, destroyed poor Iarbitas, 
 while labouring to be thought town-bred, 
 (possibly a wit), or to speak with the accent 
 of the man of education and good society — 
 and striving, &c. — Iarbitas almost burst in 
 his efforts to rival Timagenes — implying 
 that he vainly exerted himself to do what 
 nature had not enabled him to do. 
 
 Iarbitam.] I. e. Codrus the Moor. Iar- 
 bitas was the name of the Moor who was 
 iEneas's rival for the love of Dido. Codrus 
 was a teacher of rhetoric and oratory at 
 Rome, where he endeavoured to compete 
 with the more successful professors of the 
 day. 
 
 Timagenis.] A native of Alexandria, who 
 visited Rome under the auspices of Gabinius, 
 and is said to have taught rhetoric and oratory 
 successfully to the days of Augustus. 
 
 17- Decipit, rye] The copy deludes by 
 its faults — the imitator mistakes vices for 
 virtues — in servility copying the exemplar 
 before him. 
 
 18. liibercnl, §c] They would drink 
 cuminum to look as pale. 
 
 Exsangue.] Which occasions paleness — 
 on the supposition that it absorbs blood. Per- 
 sius v. 55. Dioscor. iii. 68. 
 
 Cuminum.] An annual plant, a native of 
 the Levant. The seeds are still in use — but 
 externally, in plasters, as stimulants.

 EPIST. XX. 
 
 Addressing his book, as if it were bent upon 
 quitting his study for the booksellers' shops, 
 the poet prophetically warns it of the fate 
 which awaits so rash a resolve. Notwith- 
 standing there are indications of a feeling of 
 its value, in harmony with the magnificent 
 anticipations expressed in Od. ii. 20 ; iii. 30 ; 
 iv. 9. 
 
 1. Vertumnum.'] Sat. ii. 7- 14. Close to 
 the temples of these deities were the porticos, 
 by the columns of which stood the booksel- 
 lers' shops or stalls. Sat. i. 4. 17. 
 
 Liber. ] What portion of Horace's poems 
 precisely this term applies to cannot be deter- 
 mined — certainly not to the whole collection 
 of Epistles, which now constitutes the first 
 book ; for some of the pieces were written 
 after this, which looks like an Epilogue. 
 Compare the end of the poem. 
 
 Spectare.'] You seem to be looking to-

 NOTES. 
 
 EPIST. I. 
 
 Though approving of the wisdom of the 
 Romans in awarding divine honours to Au- 
 gustus in his life- time, Horace cannot equally 
 approve of their judgment relative to poets, 
 who must die before they can be admired at 
 Rome. 
 
 1. Solus.] What had before been ad- 
 ministered by many — as if the whole burden 
 of the state had been laid upon his shoulders, 
 and not usurped by him. 
 
 2. Moribus, 8fc.~\ Though not logically put, 
 the meaning is plain — that the laws enacted 
 and enforced by Augustus had improved pub- 
 lic morals. As in Od. iv. 5. 21. the allusion 
 is specifically to the Lex Julia de adult, and 
 the Lex de marit. Suetonius says of Augustus 
 
 — morum legumque regimen perpetuum rece- 
 perat, 27- 
 
 4. Tua temporal Demanded for impor- 
 tant occasions. 
 
 5. Romulus, Sfc] These heroes, though 
 after death they were deified, yet, while en- 
 gaged in the performance of their noble 
 achievements — the very same kind as those 
 of Augustus — had reason to complain they 
 were not honoured as they deserved, by those 
 who were benefited by their services. 
 
 Liber. .] As the conqueror of the East. 
 
 7- Colunt genus.] Promote civilization. 
 
 8. Agros assignant.] Augustus did the 
 same — in the colonies he founded. 
 
 Oppida condunt.'] Augustus could boast 
 besides, that he had left Rome, which he 
 found built of brick, a city of marble. Suet.

 NOTES. 
 
 10. Qui contudit, fyc] Hercules, who with 
 his club crushed the heads of the hydra. 
 Od. iv. 4. CI. 
 
 11. Portenta.'] Like monstra — whatever 
 was contrary to the common course of expe- 
 rience — fearful and extraordinary shapes of 
 men and animals. 
 
 Fatali.'] Imposed by fate, which placed 
 him under the control of Eurystheus, if Eu- 
 rystheus should be born first — a priority which 
 was accomplished by the contrivance of Juno. 
 
 12. Invidiam, §c] That envy, excited by 
 his superior merits, was subdued only by his 
 death. It was not till after death, that they 
 were recognised and rewarded. 
 
 13. Prcegravat, <$-c] Who by his own 
 virtue outweighs the virtues of others. Such 
 a man may be said to have his placed above 
 theirs — or theirs below his — or himself. 
 
 Urit fulgore.] I. e. inflames others with 
 envy and jealousy. 
 
 Urit, Sfc] The sense, without doubt, is — 
 the man, who surpasses others, fires his co- 
 temporaries with envy and jealousy. There 
 is a want of correspondence between urit and 
 preegravat — unusual with Horace. 
 
 14. Extinctus.] When he is dead. 
 
 15. Prccscnti, Sfc] But to you, while you 
 are among us — not as was done to Romulus, 
 tee. when dead — but while alive we give, &c. 
 Od. iii. 5. 2. 
 
 Maturos.] I. e. At the proper season — 
 the period of ripeness — while in life ; not late 
 or tardily, after death, when it may be sup- 
 posed, they are less regarded. 
 
 10. Jurandasque, Sfc] For those who took 
 an oath, put their hand on the altar, and in- 
 voked the divinity as the avenger of perjury. 
 
 18. Sed, fyc] But this your people — thus 
 wise and just, in your single case, in placing 
 you above all Roman or Greek commanders 
 — do not by any means estimate other mat 
 ters in the same equitable manner, but dis- 
 dain and hate cotemporary merit. 
 
 20. Cetera.] For ceteros, as omnia often 
 for omnes. 
 
 21. Terris semota.] I. e. such as are bu- 
 ried — whom the earth covers. Od. iii. 24. 30. 
 
 Suisque temp, defuncta.] Such as have 
 lived their days — the dead. 
 
 23. Sicfautor,Sfc] Such admirers of what 
 is ancient are the people, that they assert the 
 Muses wrote the twelve tables of the Decem- 
 viri, &c. 
 
 Tabulas.] The decemviral code — which 
 prohibits crimes, and assigns penalties. 
 
 24. Sanxerunt.] Strictly — which the de- 
 cemviri prepared, and to which the people 
 gave the final sanction. 
 
 Fcedera.] The ancient treaties made by 
 Romulus with the Sabines, (Liv. i. 13.) and 
 by Tarquin Sup. with the Gabii, (Liv. i. 54.) 
 
 25. jEquata.] Made on equal terms — or 
 rather, where the parties treated on equal 
 terms. 
 
 Rigidis.] On account of the severe sim- 
 plicity of their manners. Od. iii. 6. 37- Epod. 
 2. 41. ; or of their bravery, which enabled 
 them to insist upon equal rights.

 who recurs to the calendar, and estimates 
 merit by years, and admires nothing but what 
 death has consecrated, falls, like a crumbling

 Greeks, which Cicero calls the argumentatio 
 acervalis — when one grain after another is 
 taken from a large heap of corn, though at 
 last the heap becomes small, you cannot say

 NOTES. 
 
 Roscius performed — as if the actor r s merits 
 had any thing to do with the writer's. 
 
 82. jEsopus.] An eminent tragedian — 
 styled gravis, from the dignity of the person- 
 ages he usually represented. 
 
 Roscias.~\ So distinguished, that his name 
 became proverbial for excellence in any pro- 
 fession, Cic. Orat. i. 28. and, apparently, called 
 doctus, as being completely informed — con- 
 summate. 
 
 Egit.] The past tense — for probably nei- 
 ther of them had been seen by Horace. Ho- 
 race was a child when Roscius died ; and 
 jEsopus seems to have died earlier. 
 
 84. Parere, <yc] Adopt, in their old age, 
 the sentiments of younger men. 
 
 85. Imberbi, §c] And confess, in their 
 old age, that what they learned when boys, 
 out of Atta's plays — i. e. from the dictations 
 of their teachers — is fit only to be forgotten. 
 
 86. Saliare carmen.] The songs or hymns 
 which Numa composed for the Salii, or priests of 
 Mars (I--ivy, i. 20.) — so perplexed and obscure, 
 as to be generally unintelligible in the days 
 of Horace. Quinct. i. 6. 40. 
 
 87. Quod mecum, Sfc] Which neither he 
 nor I understand. 
 
 88. Ingeniis.~] He does not applaud buried 
 genius — the noble works of the ancients ; but 
 in reality attacks his cotemporaries — he is 
 envious of us and our works, and hates 
 them. 
 
 91. Quid nunc, S;c] If the Greeks, at the 
 
 time they wrote, had been treated with con- 
 tempt, we should have had no old Greek to 
 read and imitate, &c. — whatever is old was 
 once new. 
 
 92. Publicus usus.] That for which there 
 is a general occasion or demand — or the occa- 
 sion or want which prompts the demand. 
 Here used for the persons who have the occa- 
 sion — the public. — The public would have 
 none of these old Greek writers to read, had 
 the Greeks judged like the Romans. 
 
 93. Nugari, Sfc] To attend to matters of 
 amusement — matters calculated to please the 
 taste, &c. Sat. ii. 1. 73. and Ep. i. 18. 60. 
 Grcecari in Sat. ii. 2. 11. 
 
 Positis armis.] After the Persian war — 
 when literature and the arts began to be culti- 
 vated. 
 
 94. Et in vitium, <yc] And in her better 
 fortunes, to be corrupted by luxury. 
 
 Mqud.] Prosperous — while Fortune fa- 
 voured. 
 
 95. Equorum.] Equestrian sports — chariot- 
 races of Olympia, &c. 
 
 97- Suspend it.] Absorbed in the admira- 
 tion of paintings. 
 
 Vultum.] The eyes. 
 
 98. Nunc tibicinibus.] I. e. comedies which 
 were recitatived to the music of tibia:. Ep. 
 ad Pis. 202—215. 
 
 99. Sub nutrice, Sfc] Like a girl — with 
 her nurse — at play ; what she desires eagerly, 
 she quickly, wearied, abandons.

 NOTES. 
 
 120. Non temere, 8fc.~\ Not easily — scarcely 
 ever is a poet seduced into avarice. Ep. ad 
 Pison. 160. 
 
 Hoc, Sfc] This is his sole care. The ac- 
 cusative depends on facere, tractare, or some- 
 thing similar. 
 
 121. Detrimenta, 8fc.~\ He laughs at — he 
 cares nothing about such paltry matters — 
 compared, that is, with the manufacture of his 
 verses. — Or, perhaps, as matters which con- 
 cern him not ; for he who has nothing, can 
 lose nothing. 
 
 122. Nonfraudem, 8fC.~] He plans no trea- 
 cheries against a partner or a ward, &c. 
 
 Socio.'] Od. iii. 24. 60. 
 
 123. Siliquis.~] The pods of the carob- 
 tree — St. John's bread — common in the south 
 of Europe. — The Ceratonia Siliqua of Linnaeus. 
 
 Secundo.] Brown or black flour — certainly 
 of inferior quality. Horace is speaking of 
 hungry poets. 
 
 124. Malus.] A coward. 
 
 125. Si das hoc, 8fc] If you allow that 
 great things may be aided by little ones, you 
 must allow this, paradoxical as it may seem, 
 that poets benefit society or the state. 
 
 126. Os tenerum.] I. e. boys learn to arti- 
 culate distinctly by the recital of verses. 
 
 127- Jam nunc] I. e. while young. 
 
 Obsccenis.] From which Horace himself 
 has not always abstained. 
 
 128. Pectus format, 8fc] Instructs — fills 
 with moral precepts, calculated for his advan- 
 tage, and so friendly. 
 
 129. Asperitatis.] The rough, undisciplined 
 habits of nature, which the sentiments incul- 
 cated by poets are calculated to correct and 
 refine. Ovid, ex Pont. i. 6. 7- 
 
 130. Recte facta.] Honorable actions — fitted 
 to stimulate to emulation. 
 
 Orientia, fyc] Supplies the coming times — 
 the youth of the present age, who are to be 
 the men of the next. 
 
 131. Mgrum.] Scil. curis. Distressed with 
 anxieties. Virg. Eel. i. 13. 
 
 132. Ignara mariti] I. e. expers nuptia- 
 rum. Od. iii. 11. 11. The chorus of boys 
 and girls, who sang in the temples. 
 
 133. Unde preces.] Their precatory hymns 
 to Apollo and. Diana on days of solemnity. 
 Carm. Saec. 3. 
 
 Vatem ni, fyc] Unless they have a poet to 
 supply the hymns. 
 
 134. Chorus.] Of boys and girls. 
 
 Poscit opem, Sfc] They ask for aid from 
 the Gods, and must be directed by the poets ; 
 because these addresses were all metrical. 
 
 Prcesentia, fyc] As if shewing their pre- 
 sence by the aid they furnish. 
 
 135. Coclestes.] As in Carm. Saec. 31. 
 Doctd.] I. e. by the poet, as %opov didaa- 
 
 KaXoQ. 
 
 136. Avertit, fyc] For Apollo, whose fa- 
 vour the chorus supplicates, is the Deus Aver- 
 runcm — the diroTpoiraiog. Carm. Saec. 64. 
 
 137- Pacem et locupletem, .ye.] Peace and 
 plenty.

 NOTES. 
 
 178. Lentus.] One unmoved by the scene 
 before him. 
 
 Exanimat.'] Mortifies, &c. 
 Sedulus.] The attentive — arrested by the 
 interest of the piece. 
 Inflat.] Elates. 
 
 179. Sic, Sfc.] So light, so small a matter 
 — the will or caprice of the spectators — is it 
 which depresses or elates the mind of him 
 who is ambitious of applause 1 
 
 180. Valeat, Sfc] Adieu to the drama, &c. 
 
 181. Donata reducit, 8fc] Od. iv. 2. 17. 
 
 182. Sape, fyc] This too often deters the 
 poet, who would otherwise venture — that those 
 who are the more in number, but inferior in 
 intelligence and respectability, &c. — i. e. the 
 people — the canaille. 
 
 183. Quod, Sfc] Because the people — if 
 they do not like the piece — call out, in the 
 middle of it, for bears, &c. Consult the pro- 
 logue to Terence's Hecyra. 
 
 184. Et depugnare parati.] To maintain 
 their opinion by violence, if the knights have 
 a different one. 
 
 185. Eques.] The gentlemen of Rome — 
 the men of education and intelligence — op- 
 posed to the plebecula. Sat. i. 10. 76. 
 
 186. Aut ursum, §c] Because, says the 
 Scholiast, there was then no amphitheatre, 
 and animals and gladiators were exhibited in 
 the same place. 
 
 His.] Bears and pugilists. 
 
 187- Vei'um equitis, Sfc] But now, too, all 
 the knights' pleasure has passed from their 
 ears to their eyes. They are as much de- 
 lighted now with mere spectacle as the rest. 
 
 188. Incertos.] Doubtful where to turn, 
 for the multitude of objects presented to 
 them. 
 
 189. Aulcea premuntur.] The curtain, 
 which was not, when the play began, drawn 
 up as with us, but sunk, or let down below 
 the stage. 
 
 Quatuor, fyc] For four hours together, or 
 more, the curtain is depressed — the exhibition 
 lasts. 
 
 190. Dum fugiunt, <^c] /. e. whilst battles 
 are represented — splendid triumphs, &c. Com- 
 pare Cicero's account in a letter to Marius. 
 Ad Div. vii. 1.

 cles, in which were borne the chiefs, spoils,

 Naves.] I. e. the rostra of captured ships — 
 borne in the vehicles. 
 
 193. Ebur.] Either elephants' teeth, in an 
 oriental triumph — or articles made of ivory — 
 valuable for the workmanship as well as the 
 material. 
 
 Captiva Corinthus.] Perhaps, splendid as

 NOTES. 
 
 5. Eritque tuus.'} He is yours for 8,000 
 sesterces. 
 
 6. Ministeriis aptus.~\ Ready for any office 
 at the nod of his master. 
 
 Verna.~\ Home-born — a recommendation, 
 as not being corrupted by variety of service, 
 or by mixing with the common herd of slaves. 
 
 7- Litterulis.^ By this diminutive the man- 
 go intimates that the boy knew a little Greek. 
 
 Idoneus, <§c] You may make any thing 
 of him — he will be like clay in your hands, 
 to be fashioned to any shape. 
 
 9. Quin etiam, fyc] He will sing, too — 
 not with any science, but very agreeably, over 
 your wine. 
 
 10. Multa, Sfc.~] If I praise him too much, 
 you will suspect, &c. 
 
 12. Meo sum, 8fc.~} Though poor, I am 
 not in debt — my money is my own, not ano- 
 ther's — and so, have no pressing occasion to 
 sell him. 
 
 13. Nemo, 8fc.~\ None of the regular slave- 
 dealers would do this for you — would sell 
 him you at this price. 
 
 Non temere, fyc.~\ Nor would I do it for 
 every body — It is not every one who should 
 have him at this price. I wish to oblige you. 
 
 14. Semel hie, fyc.~] Once he neglected his 
 business, &c. vaguely. The implication is, 
 not that he had run away (for he had con- 
 cealed himself under the stairs), but was apt 
 to be idle. 
 
 Ulfit.'] Refers to latuit only. 
 
 15. In scalis, Sfc.~\ I. e. to escape a flog- 
 
 ging for his offence. It was a dark place, fit 
 for concealment. Cicero says of Clodius (pro 
 Milone 15.) fugiens in scalarum tenebris se 
 abdidit. 
 
 Pendentis^] I. e. Impending — which the 
 boy knew awaited him for his fault. 
 
 16. Des nummos, 8fc.~\ Take him, if this 
 one fault forms no serious objection. 
 
 Fuga.~] Neglect of his duties, and conse- 
 quent absconding. 
 
 17. Poence securusJ] Without fear of in- 
 curring any penalty — for he told you the 
 boy's fault. The seller was bound to disclose 
 the slave's faults. Cic. de Off. iii. 91. 
 
 18. Prudens, ^cj You knew when you 
 bought him — you were told, in effect, he was 
 a bad one. 
 
 Dicta tibi lex.} The man was obliged by 
 the law to state to you his faults — and he did 
 state them ; — the law was obeyed — justice 
 was done you. 
 
 19. Insequeris, <^c] Do you, nevertheless, 
 prosecute the man, and harass him with a 
 vexatious suit? 
 
 20. Dixi, 8fc.~\ His case is mine. I told 
 you when you were setting off, I was an 
 indolent man, &c. 
 
 21. Officiis mancum, 8fc.} And almost 
 physically disabled for such duties — unable 
 to write letters. 
 
 Ne, «yc] Expressly that you might not get 
 in a rage, and scold me for not writing letters. 
 
 Scevus.} Severely — the word expresses 
 great anger — rage.

 NOTES. 
 
 44. Scilicet, fyc] To distinguish right 
 from wrong, and search for truth in the 
 groves of Academus — to study philosophy in 
 the school of the academics. 
 
 Curvo— rectum. ~\ The metaphor is taken 
 from geometrical lines. 
 
 45. Academi.~\ The Academia (so named 
 from the hero, Academus, Diog. Laert. iii. 7-) 
 or Gymnasium, in which Plato once lectured, 
 was a grove, or park, near the city. 
 
 46. Dura, fyc] But unhappy times forced 
 me to abandon that agreeable residence. 
 
 47- Civilisquc] And the tide of civil war 
 bore me into the midst of an army, which was 
 not capable of resisting the strength of Caesar. 
 
 In arma.] I. e. taken up by Brutus and 
 Cassius against Octavius and Antony. 
 
 Rudem belli.] Young, and entirely with- 
 out experience — had seen no service. Ho- 
 race was, nevertheless, made at once a Tri- 
 bune in the legions of Brutus. Sat. i. 6. 48. 
 
 48. Responsura.] Sat. ii. 7- 85. 
 
 49. Unde, fyc] From which service, or 
 war. 
 
 Simul primum, fyc] When the defeat of 
 Brutus at Philippi, &c. Od. ii. 7. 10. 
 
 50. Decisis pennis.] With my wings clip- 
 ped — my ambitious hopes cut down. 
 
 Inopemque.] Stript of my paternal pro- 
 perty. He was in the proscription lists of 
 the triumvirate. 
 
 51. Audax, fyc] Which makes people 
 dare, or attempt what tbey would not, with- 
 out the stimulus, dream of. 
 
 52. Sed, quod, fyc] But what cicutce will 
 ever cure me of the madness of poetry, now 
 that I have enough for my wants, if I do not 
 prefer sleeping to scribbling. 
 
 Quod non desit, fyc] As much as leaves 
 nothing wanting — i. e. as is sufficient. 
 
 53. Cicutce.] Hemlock — like hellebore — 
 regarded among the Romans, as a specific for 
 the cure of madness. 
 
 55. Singula, fyc] Horace gives further 
 reasons for abandoning poetry — his age, and 
 consequent change of feelings — the conflict- 
 ing tastes of his friends — the interruptions of 
 Rome, &c. 
 
 Singula.] One after another. 
 
 Nobis anni.] Ep. i. 1.4. Od. iv. 1. 3. 
 Virg. Eel. ix. 51. 
 
 Euntes.] Never stopping. Ep. ad Pis. 17G. 
 
 57. Tendunt extorquere.] Wrench from 
 me my poetical powers. 
 
 Quid faciam vis ?] What do you wish me 
 to do — what sort of poetry to write ? — i. e. on 
 the supposition, I am inclined to write. 
 
 59. Carmine.] Lyrics. Horace separates 
 Iambics from Lyrics in Ep. i. 19. 23. 
 
 00. Bioneis.] Such severe or bitter satires 
 as Bion of the Borysthenes wrote — who, ac- 
 cording to Diog. Laertes, spared neither Gods 
 nor men. 
 
 Nigro/] As ater, in the same sense, Ep. i. 
 
 U). :;. 
 
 01. Tres mihi, fyc] You are like three 
 guests, no two of whom arc pleased with the 
 same thing.

 Q. HORATII FLACCI 
 
 pulso morbo et bile per elle- 
 borum purum, ad mentem sa- 
 nam reversus, dixit: Profecto 
 me occidistis, 6 amici, non ser- 
 vastis, cui gaudia sic abstulistis, 
 et mentis errorem jucundissi- 
 mum eripuistis per virtutem 
 medicamentorum. Scilicet ex- 
 pedit sapientise studere, ab- 
 jectis nugis ; et pueris relin- 
 quere ludum cetati congruum. 
 Jam non ampliiis juvat sectari 
 voces chordis Latinis canendas, 
 sed rectse vitae rationes et insti- 
 tuta scrutari. Quapropter ita 
 mecum reputo, et tacite statuo : 
 si nulla aquarum abundantia 
 sitim placaret, medicos adires : 
 cur autem nemini audes fateri, 
 quo plus habes, eo plus te ap- 
 petere ? Si segritudo non leva- 
 retur planta vel radice tibi in- 
 dicate, sperneres radicem aut 
 plantam nihil remedii afferen- 
 tem? Auditu acceperas, Diis 
 opes largientibus, hominem in- 
 sania ista liberari, factus autem 
 locupletior, quanquam nihilo 
 magis sapis, tamen auscultas 
 semper eosdem monitores. At 
 si opes meliorem, si minus ava- 
 rum et solicitum efficerent, jure 
 quidem erubesceres, si quis- 
 quam in orbe esset te solo cu- 
 pidior. 
 
 Expulit helleboro morbum bilemque meraco, 
 Et redit ad sese : " Pol, me occidistis, amici, 
 Non servastis," ait, " cui sic extorta voluptas, 
 Et demtus per vim mentis gratissimus er- 
 ror." 140 
 Nimirum sapere est abjectis utile nugis, 
 Et tempestivum pueris concedere ludum ; 
 Ac non verba sequi fidibus modulanda Latinis, 
 Sed verse numerosque modosque ediscere vitae. 
 Quocirca mecum loquor haec, tacitusque re- 
 cordor ; 145 
 Si tibi nulla sitim flniret copia lymph se, 
 Narrares medicis : quod, quanto plura parasti, 
 Tanto plura cupis, nulline faterier audes ? 
 Si vulnus tibi monstrata radice vel herba, 
 Non fieret levius, fugeres radice vel herba, 150 
 Proficiente nihil, curarier. Audieras, cui 
 Rem Di donarint, illi decedere pravam 
 Stultitiam ; et, quum sis nihilo sapientior, ex 
 
 quo 
 Plenior es, tamen uteris monitoribus isdem ? 
 At si divitise prudentem reddere possent, 155 
 Si cupidum timidumque minus te ; nempe 
 
 ruberes, 
 Viveret in terris te si quis avarior uno. 
 
 NOTES. 
 
 137- Morbum bilemque.'] As if madness 
 originated in some derangement or corruption 
 of the bile. The insane are described often as 
 atrd bile laborantes ; and hence the modern 
 terms of atrabilarious, and, from the Greek, 
 melancholic. 
 
 Meraco.~\ I. e. undiluted — in its pure, na- 
 tive state. 
 
 Helleboro.] Sat. ii. 3. 82. 
 
 140. Per vim.] Forcibly. 
 
 141. Nimirum sapere, tyc] Still, beyond 
 all doubt, it is good — it is better to be sober 
 and wise — taking up the word sapere in line 
 128. 
 
 Abjectis nugis.] Meaning his verses, and 
 especially his lyrics — as Catullus i. 5. 
 
 142. Tempestivum, 8fc.~\ Better suited to 
 the age of young people. 
 
 144. Numerosque, Sfc] Relative strictly 
 to metre — by which the syllables and accents 
 arranged according to certain laws, run har- 
 moniously — but applied here to the conduct 
 of life. 
 
 145. Tacitusque.] And in silence consider 
 with myself. 
 
 146. Sitim finiret.] Quench your thirst. 
 
 147. Narrares, tyc] You would consult 
 the doctors — dreading a dropsy. 
 
 Quod, <yc.] But as to this disease which 
 
 oppresses you — i. e. that the more you get the 
 more you want- — have you not the courage to 
 confess it to somebody, and seek a remedy ? 
 
 149. Si vulnus, fyc] If a wound were not 
 relieved by the root or herb prescribed you 
 by the doctors, you would refuse to make 
 further use of what you found to be of no 
 service. 
 
 151. Audieras, §c] You had heard — from 
 your friends, or from common report — that 
 as riches come, folly vanishes ; — and though 
 in reality you find yourself no wiser since you 
 became richer, do you listen still to the same 
 advisers? 
 
 154. Plenior.] Richer. 
 
 Monitoribus.] I. e. those who persuaded 
 you that riches brought wisdom with them — 
 and whose advise you listened to. 
 
 15G. Timidum.] For the loss of this ac- 
 quired wealth. Sat. i. 1. 77- 
 
 Nempe, fyc] Why then indeed you should 
 blush, &c. 
 
 157. Si, Sfc] If what a man buys by 
 weight, and with money, is his own ; and if 
 use (if we trust the lawyers) makes some 
 things our own, then Orbius's land, which 
 feed;- you, is yours — for you km the produce 
 — and moreover, buy it.

 desire to have them. 
 
 Est qui non curat.] The indicative con- 
 veys a more peremptory meaning ; but Ho- 
 race occasionally employs the indicative after 
 the relative, without any such purpose in 
 view, in imitation of the Greeks. Od. i. 1. 4. 
 
 183. Cur alter, Sfc] Men's temperaments 
 differ — even brothers are not alike, but why 
 — each man's Genius (the divine being who 
 accompanies and directs him) alone can tell. 
 
 Alter fratrum.] As in the case of Terence's 
 Adelphi — whom Horace apparently had in 
 mind.

 his humour, than be the possessor of the

 187- Genius, Sfc] These three lines con- 
 tain all that can be gathered of the sentiments 
 of the ancients relative to the Genius — or 
 guardian angel. He always accompanies the 
 man — he removes the evils of his horoscope, 
 and aids the good — he is favourable or ad- 
 verse, according as the man yields to his 
 guidance, or resists ; and finally dies with him.

 NOTES. 
 
 EP. AD PISONES. 
 
 Though much of the poem is didactic, it is 
 not exclusively so, and cannot, with truth or 
 propriety, be regarded as a formal attempt, on 
 the part of Horace, to develope the art of 
 poetry. It is mixed up throughout with the 
 satirical ; and the real aims of the author were 
 rather to ridicule the miserable poets that 
 swarmed in his days — to point out the worst 
 of their faults ; and, finally, to express his own 
 opinion of what constituted good poetry, and 
 especially dramatic poetry, with the view of 
 guiding the taste of the younger 'Pisos — one 
 of whom, particularly, and perhaps both, was 
 devoted to poetry. 
 
 1. — I. Humano, fyc] If the poet brings 
 together incongruous images, he commits the 
 same absurdity as the painter would who con- 
 structs a figure of the limbs of different ani- 
 mals. 
 
 ('apiti.'] Scil. of a beautiful woman. 
 
 2. Inducere.'] Cover the limbs with, &c. — 
 or, perhaps, lay on, as painters their colours. 
 
 Varias.] Feathers" of different birds. 
 
 3. Undique. J Upon limbs collected from' 
 all sorts of animals. 
 
 Ut, Sfc] So that in addition to all these 
 incongruities, the figure with the head of a 
 beautiful woman should terminate with the 
 tail of a filthy fish. Horace accumulates in- 
 congruities — a woman's head — a horse's neck, 
 — limbs and body of different animals — fea- 
 thers of different birds — and the tail of a fish. 
 
 5. Spectatum, §c] If the painter should 
 exhibit to you such a monstrous subject, could 
 you restrain your laughter 1 
 
 Amici.'] The Pisos, to whom the poem is 
 addressed. 
 
 6. Pisones.'] L. Calpurnius Piso and his 
 two sons (line 366.) The father was consul 
 738 U. C. — after this epistle was written. 
 
 Isti tabulae.] The extravagant picture which 
 the poet had just described. 
 
 7- Cujus, Sfc] Of which the parts are so 
 absurdly imagined, that there is given to the 
 one form, neither its head nor its foot — no 
 unity of design — no consistency of parts.

 tanquam idoneum colloquiis, 
 ac superantem clamores po-

 jussit lyricis versibus cantari 
 Deos, Heroas, athletam victo-

 vivia. Quod si dictas carminum

 debet efferri versibus tragicis. 
 Pariter Thyestae coena recusat 
 exponi dictione humiii et fere

 NOTES. 
 
 Socci.] The soccus was the low-heeled 
 boot worn by comedians. The cothurnus, a 
 high-heeled one, and worn by tragic per- 
 formers. 
 
 Pedem.~] Used punningly with reference 
 to soccus and cothurnus. 
 
 81. Alternis aptum, fyc] Well adapted for 
 stage dialogue. 
 
 Populares vincentem, fyc] Susceptible of 
 being mouthed, so that the actor could with 
 them more readily outroar the tumults of the 
 theatre. 
 
 82. Natitm.] Born for representation — 
 that is, for the drama. 
 
 83. Fidibus.'] To the lyre. 
 
 Puerosque Deorum.] I. e. heroes. Od. iv. 
 2. 14. 
 
 84. Et pugilem, fyc] In the Isthmean, 
 Olympian, and other games — alluding to Pin- 
 dar. Od. iv. 2. 14. 
 
 85. Juvenum curas, fyc] Loves — with Sap- 
 pho in his mind. 
 
 Libera vina, fyc] Anacreon. Od. iii. 1 8. 6. 
 
 Libera.] As larga in Od. iii. 18. 6 ; — un- 
 less libera contrasts with curas juvenum — as 
 that which expels these curat. 
 
 86. — VII. Descriptas, fyc] These are the 
 different metres, with the classes of subjects 
 assigned to each of them ; and he who cannot 
 observe them should abstain — he is not quali- 
 fied for the art he attempts to practice. 
 
 Descriptas, fyc] If, from imbecility of ta- 
 lent, I either cannot discharge the offices thus 
 prescribed to the poet, or do not know what 
 they prescribe, &c. 
 
 Vices.] Refer to the topics, and colores to 
 the measures. 
 
 88.. Pudens prave.] With a false shame — 
 which prefers ignorance to the confession of 
 ignorance — which would rather be ignorant 
 than learn. 
 
 89. Versibus, fyc] Comic subjects — sub- 
 jects for comedy must not be treated in verses 
 which are suited only to tragedy ; and as to 
 tragic subjects — the coena Thyesta, for in- 
 stance, disdains to be described in verses which 
 are only fit for common or comic themes. 
 Though the mere metre might be the same — 
 the tone of tragedy required more elevation 
 than that of comedy. 
 
 90. Privatis.] Meaner subjects — which 
 involve none but private or domestic charac- 
 ters. 
 
 91. Thyesta.] Od. i. 6. and 16. Epod. 5. 
 
 92. Singula qucrquc] Let each — comedy

 spective qualities. 
 
 93. Vocem tollit.] Takes a higher tone.

 sent himself to Achilles, as a suppliant, and, 
 apparently, in the disguise of poverty. The 
 particular tragedy alluded to is no longer ex- 
 tant. 
 
 Peleus.~] The father of Achilles — he had 
 been compelled to fly from JEgina, in conse- 
 quence of the murder of his brother. 
 
 Pauper.~\ Pauper applies to Telephus ; 
 e.cul to Peleus. 
 
 97- Projicit, $fc.~\ Abandon their mag- 
 niloquence — the stately and swelling lan- 
 guage which tragic writers have usually con- 
 sidered as becoming high station. Strong 
 feelings speak strong language — but not ses- 
 quipedalia. 
 
 Ampullas.] The ampulla was a vessel 
 with a narrow neck, but of considerable ro- 
 tundity of body, used chiefly for oil and vine- 
 gar. The turgid phrases of tragedy obtained 
 this name among the critics, in a contemptu- 
 ous sense. Epod. i. 3. 14. 
 
 98. Si curat, §c] If the writer wish to 
 touch the hearts of the audience, by the com- 
 plaints which Peleus and Telephus, in their 
 forlorn circumstances, utter. 
 
 99. — VIII. Nor is it enough that the poetry 
 be elegant — it must be natural, to please. The 
 tone must correspond with the character it 
 professes to describe or represent. 
 
 Dulcia.'] So as to charm and lead at their 
 will —and this they will do, by being strictly 
 adapted to circumstances. 
 
 101. Ut ridentibus, 8fc] As the features 
 of men smile with smilers, so are they ready 
 to weep with the weepers. Cic. de Orat. ii. 45. 
 
 102. Humani vultus.] Looks of sympathy. 
 Si vis, fyc] If you wish me to weep at your 
 
 misfortunes — you must first weep yourself. 
 Then your troubles will distress me — will 
 force me to sympathize with you. 
 
 104. Telephe, fyc] It is with actors as 
 with writers. They must look the characters 
 they represent; and the writers must make 
 the sentiments square with them. 
 
 Male si, <§r.] Construe male with loqueris. 
 
 Mandata.] What is entrusted to the repre- 
 sentatives of Telephus and Peleus. 
 
 108. Format, fyc] The source of all our 
 feelings is nature — it is she which plants 
 them originally in our minds — which prompts 
 the expression of them in every change and 
 condition of fortune. 
 
 109. Juvat.'] Affects with pleasure. 
 
 110. Ad humum, Sfc] Bows to the earth — 
 prostrates with sorrow.

 in the theatre. In Ep. ii. 1. 185, they are, as 
 the intelligent class, opposed to the plebecula. 
 The military sense of equites suggested the 
 corresponding term, pedites, for the mass of 
 the spectators. 
 
 114. Intererit multum, fyc] The difference 
 will be great, whether it is a slave or a hero 
 who speaks — i. e. in the sentiments assigned 
 by the writer, and in the tone and manner 
 assumed by tbe actor. 
 
 Davus.] For any slave. Sat. ii. 5. 91. 
 
 115. Maturusne.] Scil. funeri. Od. iii. 
 15. 4 ; iv. 4. 55. 
 
 116. Matrona potens.] One who sustains 
 the authority of a materfamilias. 
 
 117. Vagus, fyc] A merchant who visits 
 distant countries, and a farmer who never 
 quits his fields. 
 
 118. Colchus, 8fc.~\ For, says the old Scho- 
 liast, the Colchian must always be represented 
 as cruel, and the Assyrian crafty — the Argive 
 a brave man, and the Theban a fool. 
 
 Thebis nutritus.] I. e. native of Thebes. 
 
 119. — IX. Aut famam, 8fc] In the selec- 
 tion of his subjects, the poet or dramatist must 
 either adopt old and known characters, or 
 imagine new — in the one case, he should adhere 
 to their recorded qualities ; and in the other, 
 take care to make them consistent. 
 
 Famam.] Whether of history or of fable. 
 
 Sibi convenientia.] The conduct must cor- 
 respond with the character, and the character 
 be consistent. 
 
 120. Honoratum,] Celebrated by Homer. 
 
 Si forte reponis, fyc] If you propose to 
 celebrate Achilles again — i. e. after Homer and 
 so many others hare done it. 
 
 121. Impiger.] Scil. sit. The a/capac. of 
 Homer. Hercules is impiger, Od. iv. 8. 30. 
 and Tiberius, Od. iv. 14. 
 
 Iracundus.] '0%vxo\og — impatient — irri- 
 table. 
 
 Inexorabilis.] Cedere nescius. Od. i. 6. 6. 
 and pervicax, Epod. 1 7- 14. 
 
 Acer.] Impetuous — violent. Horn. II. xx. 
 461. 
 
 122. Jura neget, fyc.~\ The sword was his 
 law. 
 
 123. Medea ferox.] Whom no deed of 
 atrocity turned from her purpose — who rent 
 her brother limb from limb — slaughtered her 
 own children, &c. 
 
 Ino.] The daughter of Cadmus and Her- 
 mione, who fled from Thebes to escape the 
 violence of Athamas, her insane husband, and 
 finally threw herself, with her child, into the 
 sea, where they were changed into divini- 
 ties, under the names of Leucothoe and Pa- 
 lsemon. 
 
 Flebilis.] Let her be always represented 
 in trouble, from the persecutions of her hus- 
 band. 
 
 124. Ixion.] King of Thessaly — perfidus, 
 i. e. on account of his violence towards Juno, 
 while the favoured guest of Jupiter. 
 
 Io vaga.] Daughter of Inachus — to escape 
 the jealous vengeance of Juno, changed by 
 Jupiter into a heifer ; and after long harass- 
 ings and roamings, married to Osiris, and fi - 
 nally worshipped by the Egyptians, under the 
 name of Isis. 
 
 Tristis Orestes.] For the murder of his 
 mother. Eurip. in Orest. and Soph, in Elect.

 Cyclope.~] Polyphemus. Odyss. ix. 
 
 146. Nee reditum, fyc] Nor does Homer 
 — as one of the Cyclici would do — begin his 
 narrative of Diomed's return from the Trojan 
 war, from the death of Meleager — i. e. from 
 an event before the Trojan war, and uncon- 
 nected with it. 
 
 Diomedis^ . Tydeus, Diomed's father, was 
 a brother of Meleager. 
 
 147- Gemino ab ovo.~\ Nor the Trojan war 
 from the birth of Helen, hatched from one of 
 Leda's eggs. Sat. ii. 1. 26. 
 
 148. In medias res, 8fc.~] He does not be- 
 gin with a formal statement of the causes of 
 the quarrel between Agamemnon and Achil- 
 les, but takes you at once into the subject, as 
 if you were already well acquainted with the 
 parties. 
 
 151. Ita mentitur, 8fc.~] And so manages 
 his fictions — so mingles the true and the false, 
 that the whole perfectly harmonizes. 
 
 153. — X. Tu, quid, 8fc.~\ To write dramas 
 successfully, requires a knowledge of human 
 nature and of society. 
 
 Tu.] As if one of the Pisos was actually 
 engaged in a drama. 
 
 Desideret.] Exact from a dramatic writer. 
 
 154. Plausoris, Sfc.~] Who will continue in 
 the theatre till the end of the piece. 
 
 Aulcea.~] The curtain, at the close of the 
 performance, was drawn up from below — not 
 let down from above. Ep. ii. 1. 183. 
 
 155. Cantor.] One of the actors, who, as 
 may be seen in Terence, concluded the piece 
 with the words, Vos plaudite. 
 
 156. JEtatis, fyc] The manners of each 
 period of life must be closely observed, and 
 the appropriate character te assigned to na- 
 tures and years as they change. — Horace does 
 not mean the character (in our sense) which 
 probably never changes ; but only the general 
 distinctions observable in the different stages 
 of life — the broader characteristics of youth, 
 manhood, and age. 
 
 158. Reddere qui, 8fc.~\ The child — the 
 boy — who is no longer an infant — as soon as 
 he can articulate and walk, &c. 
 
 Pede certo.] I. e. without leading-strings. 
 
 160. Temere.] Easily— lightly.

 restraint. 
 
 162. Gramine campi.] The gymnastics of 
 the Campus Martius. Od. i. 8. 3.

 Asper.] In contrast with cereus. 
 Monitoribus.] To those who warn him 
 
 against yielding to vitium.

 nisi difficultas occurrat digna

 tineat personam unius actoris et

 quidquam dicat, nisi quod ad

 suffragetur, et amicis opitule-

 NOTES. 
 
 185. Medea.'] Line 123. 
 
 186. Atreus.] Line 91. 
 
 187- In avem Progne.] Compare Od. iv. 
 12. 6. 
 
 Cadmus.] The founder of Thebes — his 
 story is told in Ovid, Metam. iii. 
 
 188. Sic.] I. e. by bringing upon the stage 
 these incredible things — men metamorphosed 
 into birds, snakes, &c. 
 
 189. — XII. Neve, <yc] Nor should a play 
 be extended beyond five acts — nor a deity be 
 introduced but on imperative occasions — nor 
 a fourth person mingle in the dialogue — nor 
 the chorus sing of any thing unconnected 
 with the piece. 
 
 Qui?ito.] As, in Horace's judgement, the 
 just medium — not too long to exhaust atten- 
 tion, nor too short to awaken interest. 
 
 190. Posci.] Scil. ad spectandum. 
 Spectata.] And once seem to be repeated. 
 
 191. Nodus, Sfc] Unless the plot of the 
 piece cannot well be developed without the 
 interposition — unless the deity be so essen- 
 tially interwoven with it, as to require the 
 appearance. Cic. de Nat. Deor. 20. 
 
 Deus.] I. e. the* deus ex machind. The 
 descent of the divinity on the stage by mecha- 
 nism. 
 
 Vindice.] Who resolves the knot. 
 
 192. Nee quarta.] As being likely to per- 
 plex the dialogue, and confound the audience. 
 
 193. Actoris, <yc] Let the chorus sustain 
 the duties of an actor, and, as becomes it, 
 firmly. That is, apparently — be so mixed up 
 
 with the piece as to share in the action — as to 
 constitute an integral portion of it. 
 
 Officium virile.] Not of a man — for many 
 of the choruses of the best Greek tragedies 
 consist of women — but boldly, firmly, reso- 
 lutely, like a man. 
 
 194. Neu, <yc.]- Nor sing any thing be- 
 tween the acts but what closely connects with 
 the piece, and indeed conduces to the action. 
 
 196. Ille, <yc] Horace here particularizes 
 the offices of the chorus. 
 
 Consilietur, fyc] Advise their friends — 
 i. e. those to whom they are favourably dis- 
 posed — the good. 
 
 197- Amet, Sfc] Express approbation of 
 the virtuous. 
 
 Regat iratos.] Check the angry — those 
 whom anger is likely to prompt to crime. 
 
 198. Dapes laudet, Sfc] A moderate table 
 — frugality in general. 
 
 Brevis.] What is soon eaten — in a short 
 time. Ep. i. 14. 35. 
 
 199. Apertis otia, <yc] Peace — for then 
 city gates are open. Od. iii. 5. 23. 
 
 200. Tegat, fyc] Not disclose what is con- 
 fided to them — as the Greek choruses will 
 shew repeatedly. 
 
 Commissa.] Scil. fidei. Sat. i. 3. 95. 
 
 201. Superbis.] The insolent — those who 
 make an ill use of their successes. 
 
 202.— XIII. Tibia, eye-.] The additions 
 made to the music of the chorus owed their 
 origin to the increasing population and mag- 
 nificence of the times.

 Orichalco vincta.] Not, apparently, mount- 
 ed with brass ornaments; but so cased or 
 coupled with brass as to affect the sound, and 
 make the tibia rival the tuba in tone, or rather 
 in volume of sound. 
 
 203. Simplex.'] Which implies that a double 
 tibia was in use in Horace's days — the two 
 might possibly be bound together with brass 
 rings. 
 
 204. Choris erat, 8fc] Was employed by 
 the chorus, and found to be adequate for the 
 occasion. 
 
 205. Nondum, 8(c] Sufficient to fill with 
 its breathing the not yet crowded seats — to 
 be heard through the theatre, which was nei- 
 ther so large nor so crowded. 
 
 200. Quo, 4-c] /. e. in the seats of the 
 theatre — when the spectators were not too 
 numerous to be counted, because the people 
 were still comparatively few — were indus- 
 trious, virtuous, and modest. 
 
 208. Victor.] The Romans. 
 
 209- Latior.] And walls of ampler circuit. 
 
 Vinoque diurno.] At feasts which began in 
 the middle of the day, or earlier than had 
 been usual. 
 
 210. Placari Genius.] I. e. to indulge. 
 Od. iii. 17. Ep. ii. 1. 144. 
 
 Impune.] Freely — with no impediment 
 from the laws or the censors. 
 
 211. Accessit numerisque, tyc] The chorus 
 had more powerful instruments — were pro- 
 bably more numerous — and played more 
 varied music. For, apparently, numerisque 
 modisque, here lefer solely to the music. 
 
 212. Indoctus, fyc] What could the un- 
 taught clown know of these matters — when 
 all ranks were confounded, and no taste was 
 cultivated, to check excess or license ? 
 
 213. Turpis honesto, Sfc] According to 
 Livy, up to the year 508, U. C. senators, 
 knights, and people, all mingled together in 
 the theatres without distinction. 
 
 214. Sic, Sfc] Hence the Tibicen added 
 to the ancient simplicity of his art — when his 
 tibia was tenuis simplexque — dancing, and 
 dresses, and swept the stage with a long 
 train— i. e. pantomimic dancing and splendid 
 dresses were added to the simple music of the 
 pipe. 
 
 215. Per pulpita.] The boards. 
 
 216. Sic etiam, 8fc] Hence, too, more 
 strings were added to the lyre. 
 
 Severis.] To its original simplicity. Cic. 
 de Leg. ii. speaks of antiques musicce severitas. 
 
 217. Et tulit, Sfc] The eloquence of the 
 lyric poet — i. e. the songs of the chorus — took 
 a new tone — a higher flight. 
 
 Praceps.] As if rushing in a precipitous 
 course. Od. iv. 2. 5. 
 
 219. Sententia, fyc] The sentiments ex- 
 pressed by the poet in the songs of the chorus 
 were wise and useful — and prophetic as the 
 Delphic oracles. Od. ii. 20. Ep. i. 20. 
 
 220.— XIV. Carmine, Sfc.] The Satyrs— 
 or rather the coarse ribaldry and rude merri- 
 ment permitted in the low farces so called — 
 must be introduced with great reserve, and 
 not be allowed to interfere with gravity and 
 propriety of character.

 Q. HORAT1I FLACCI 
 
 nudos introduxit Satyros rusti- 
 cos ; et acerbus protulit sales illae- 
 sa severitate tragoediae : propter- 
 ea quod oblectamentis et jucun- 
 da. novitate detinendus erat spec- 
 tator sacris perfunctus, et ebrius, 
 et sine lege. At sic oportet 
 Satyros risores et dicaces com- 
 mendare, sic e seriis sermonibus 
 ad jocosos transire, ut quisquis 
 Deus vel Heros producetur, 
 pauld ante in auro et purpura 
 conspectus, non loquatur sor- 
 dide quasi in vili taberna ; neve 
 terram fugiens sectetur nubila 
 et vacua. Tragcedia versus le- 
 viculos respuens, tanquam ma- 
 trona diebus festis saltare com- 
 pulsa, lascivos inter Satyros ali- 
 quanto verecunda esse debet. 
 Ego Satyrica scribens, 6 Pi- 
 sones, non consectabor dictiones 
 inconditas aut simplices dun- 
 taxat: neque sic curabo decli- 
 nare tragoediae speciem, ut nihil 
 ponam discriminis, utrum lo- 
 quatur Davus et inverecunda 
 
 Mox etiam agrestes Satyros nudavit et asper 
 Incolumi gravitate jocum tentavit eo, quod 
 Illecebris erat et grata novitate morandus 
 Spectator, functusque sacris, et potus, et ex- 
 lex. 224 
 Verum ita risores, ita commendare dicaces 
 Conveniet Satyros, ita vertere seria ludo, 
 Ne quicunque deus, quicunque adhibebitur 
 
 heros, 
 Regali conspectus in auro nuper et ostro, 
 Migret in obscuras humili sermone tabernas ; 
 Aut, dura vitat humum, nubes et inania captet. 
 EfFutire leves indigna tragcedia versus, 231 
 Ut festis matrona rnoveri jussa diebus, 
 Intererit Satyris paulum pudibunda protervis. 
 Non ego inomata et dominantia nomina so- 
 lum, 
 Verbaque, Pisones, Satyrorum scriptor amabo; 
 Nee sic enitar tragico differre colon, 236 
 
 Ut nihil intersit, Davusne loquatur et audax 
 
 NOTES. 
 
 Carmine qui, fyc] The tragic poet soon 
 mingled the broad jokes and jests of the satyrs, 
 in all their licentiousness, with his graver 
 scenes — to gratify an audience, drunk and 
 lawless. 
 
 Vilem ob Mr cum.] Following the opinions 
 of those who traced the word tragcedia, to rpd- 
 yog and <£dr) — as if in the contest the winner 
 had been rewarded with a goat. 
 
 221. Nudavit, §c] Not the Satyrs them- 
 selves — but the satyric drama, or rather the 
 spirit of it — in all its nakedness. The dramas 
 were so called, because the chorus consisted of 
 naked Satyrs. The Cyclops of Euripides is 
 the only specimen extant. The Atellance fa- 
 bulce of the Romans were imitations of them. 
 
 Asper.'] Coarse in his personal jokes. 
 
 223. Morandus.] Because the drunken 
 spectators conld only be kept in the theatre 
 by the attraction of these agreeable novel- 
 ties. 
 
 224. Functusque sacris.'] After attending 
 the sacred rites of the day. These exhibi- 
 tions took place on sacred festivals. 
 
 Potus.] And therefore in a humour to be 
 amused with these ribaldries. 
 
 Exlex.] At full liberty — with nothing to 
 prevent him from indulging in the spectacle. 
 
 225. Verum ita, 8$c] But the tragic poet 
 must so employ these Satyrs — and so mix the 
 comic with the grave, that the deity or hero 
 introduced does not, dressed all in gold and 
 purple, go down into miserable dens — i. e. ap- 
 parently, not make use of the language of low 
 hovels. 
 
 Risores — dicaces.] The Satyrs who mock 
 and rail at others. The jesters still put for 
 the jests. 
 
 Commendare, fyc] So commend them to 
 the audience — so attempt to win their ap- 
 plause. 
 
 230. Aut dum vitat, fyc] Or, while es- 
 chewing the low and vulgar, becomes extra- 
 vagant and unintelligible — gets into the 
 clouds. 
 
 Nubes et inania.] The clouds, and things 
 as empty as clouds. 
 
 231. Effutire, fyc] Instead of non digna 
 quae effutiat — i. e. whom it becomes not — as 
 below her dignity. Ep. i. 3. 55. 
 
 232. Ut festis, tyc] Modest tragedy will 
 mingle with the lewd Satyrs as little, i. e. as 
 rarely, as a matron at festivities, though 
 challenged, will dance. 
 
 234. Non ego, fyc] I should not, were 1 
 a writer of Satyrs — i. e. one who introduced 
 the comic or farcical into tragedy — I should 
 not love — i. e. adopt or use, this coarse and 
 vulgar slang only (solum). I should never 
 confine myself to the exclusive use of it, as 
 the writers of Satyrs do. 
 
 Inomata.] Coarse — indecorous. 
 
 Dominantia.] Vulgar. 
 
 236. Nee sic, Sfc] Nor should I so depart 
 from the tragic tone, as to make no difference 
 in the language, whether Davus, or Pythias, 
 or Silenus speaks. 
 
 Differre calori.] Instead of a colore, as also 
 in Ep. i. 18. 4.

 NOTES. 
 
 257- Non ut de, fyc.'] Except that he did 
 not cede any share in the second and fourth 
 places — he reserved his exclusive rights over 
 them. 
 
 258. Hicet, <^c] But he, notwithstanding — 
 i. e. the Iambus, both in the noble trimeters 
 of Accius, rarely appears in the second and 
 fourth places ; and the verses of Ennius, sent 
 upon the stage with all their burden of spon- 
 dees, he charges with the crime of being too 
 hasty and careless, or with the fouler one of 
 ignorance — i. e. the want of Iambics in the 
 second and fourth places, convicts Ennius of 
 negligence or ignorance. 
 
 263. Non quivis, Sfc] It is not every body 
 that sets up for a judge, who sees when verses 
 are not well-modulated — composed according 
 to the laws of metre. 
 
 264. Et data, ^-c] And the Roman poets 
 are undeservedly suffered to indulge in this 
 licence — i. e. by those who do see. 
 
 265. ldcircone, $c.~] Should I, for that, 
 stray out of bounds, and write carelessly, be- 
 cause, though I know some or all will see my 
 faults, I am thus safe from censure, and secure 
 of pardon ? 
 
 267. Cautus.'] Not, he who secures himself 
 — but, he who is secured, as in Lucan, iv. 409. 
 Cautus ab incursu belli. 
 
 8 
 
 Vitavi, <^c] But suppose I have avoided 
 all faults, i. e. against the laws of metre ; 
 I have not for that merited praise. There 
 must be positive as well as negative merits. 
 
 270. Plautinos, fyc] I. e. Plautus was as 
 careless in his numbers as lie was coarse in 
 his jokes. Ep. ii. 1. 58 ; and line 54 of this Ep. 
 
 271. Sales.~\ Coarse, scurrile jests. 
 Nimium patienter, <^c] Too indulgently — 
 
 not to say absurdly. 
 
 272. Si modo, 8fc.~\ If you and I know 
 how to distinguish the coarse from the deli- 
 cate — and to judge of legitimate music by our 
 fingers and ears — if we know how to scan 
 his lines. 
 
 275.— XVI. Ignotum, #c] Though the 
 Roman poets imitate the Greek dramatic 
 writers, they do so carelessly — more labour is 
 indispensible. 
 
 276. Thespis.] A native of Attica, of the 
 sixth century B. C. Traces of the drama, 
 however, are discernible before the days of 
 Thespis. 
 
 Plaustris.] I. e. he exhibited his pieces on 
 waggons, which served both for a stage, and 
 a conveyance of his actors, &c. 
 
 277- Peruncti.'] The actors stained their 
 faces with wine-lees.

 NOTES. 
 
 318. Doctum imitatorem, fyc] The imi- 
 tator — not of other writers, but of nature, or 
 rather of the realities of life. 
 
 319. Speciosa locis. ] The words are op- 
 posed to versus inopes rerum, and seem to 
 apply to the subject and plot — if the piece 
 have good scenes — if the parties are placed in 
 interesting positions — if these are attractive, 
 and the characters be correctly drawn, they 
 will please more, &c. 
 
 Morataque, <$•<?.] Where the characters are 
 correctly drawn, in accordance with the man- 
 ners of real life. 
 
 320. Sine pondere et arte.~\ Careless ver- 
 sification. 
 
 321. Moratur.'] By fixing their attention. 
 
 322. Canorce.] Melodious nonsense — sound 
 for sense. 
 
 323. Ore rotundo.'] A mouth from which 
 flows oratio rotunda — phrases smooth, correct, 
 and full — free from all asperities or coarseness. 
 Sat. ii. 7- 86. Cicero speaks of a rotunda 
 constructio verborum. Brut. 78. 
 
 324. Prater, fyc] Eager for nothing but 
 fume. Not so the Romans. 
 
 325. Romani pueri, 8fc] They are early 
 imbued, not with literature and philosophy, 
 but with arithmetic. 
 
 320. Dirat, $«.] Let, by way of proof, 
 
 the son of Albinus answer a question or two. 
 
 327. Si de, 4'c] If from a quincunx (i. e. 
 
 five ounces) you take one ounce, what is 
 left? 
 
 328. Poteras, §c] You might have said, 
 triens — i. e. a third of a pound. As if the 
 boy, though he answered correctly, had used 
 the words four ounces, instead of triens. 
 
 Eu .' 3fc.~\ Very well — because, though he 
 used the wrong term, he made no mistake in 
 the reckoning. You will be able to take care 
 of your money ! 
 
 329. Redit uncia, <yc] Again — if one 
 ounce return, or be added to the quincunx, 
 what does it make ? — Half a pound, or six 
 ounces. 
 
 330. JErugo.] As if avarice corrodes the 
 mind, as rust does metals. 
 
 332. Linenda, Sfc] To be rubbed with 
 cedar — i. e. the oil of it — and kept in a chest 
 of cypress-wood — to protect the poems from 
 worms, &c. Pliny xvi. 39. 
 
 333— XIX Jut prodesse, <yc] The poet's 
 aim is to instruct, or delight, or to do both 
 together ; and to accomplish these purposes 
 he must be brief, natural, &c. 
 
 334. Idonea vita.] Useful to be known 
 for the regulation of life — not expert ia frugis, 
 (341.) 
 
 335. Cito dicta.] Expressed with a happy 
 brevity. 
 
 Teneantque fideles.] Retain them faith- 
 fully in the memory.

 knows nothing about poetry, ventures to at- 
 tempt, &c. 
 
 383. Liber, fyc] I. e. his own master —

 NOTES. 
 
 416. Nee satis est, <^c] Nor is it enough 
 to assume the name of poet, and exclaim — I 
 make capital verses — let the murrain seize the 
 hindmost — L e. let every one take care of 
 himself. Though I have never learned the 
 art, I will not confess ignorance, but assert 
 my superiority still. — The sentiments, pro- 
 bably, of some person well-known to the 
 Pisos — one of the class described. Ep. ii. 2. 
 107- 
 
 417- Occupet, 4*c] Proverbial — like " the 
 devil take the hindmost" with us. 
 
 418. Quod non didici, <^c] Comp. line 88. 
 
 419.— XXII. Utprceco, 8fc.~] The rich poet 
 invites flatterers round him for gain ; as the 
 prceco gathers bidders for his sale, with the 
 promise of bargains. 
 
 421. Dives agris, 8fcJ] Sat. i. 2. 13. 
 
 422. Si vero, Sfc.~\ If the rich poet — unlike 
 other rich men — can (i. e. force himself) treat 
 a poor guest handsomely, &c. 
 
 Unctum.} The guest — because guests at 
 grand entertainments were usually perfumed. 
 Here the word applies to the poor friend, and, 
 of course, ironically. 
 
 Ponere.'] To place him on the triclinium — 
 
 conduct him there, probably, with all the 
 attention usually paid to the great. 
 
 423. Spondere.] Give security for the poor 
 man, whose credit is levis. 
 
 424. Mirabor, 8fc.~] I shall wonder if he 
 will ever distinguish the false friend from the 
 true. The more liberal he is, the more likely 
 to be beset and duped by flatterers. 
 
 426. Tu, Sfc] But do not you, Piso— i. e. 
 if you wish for an honest judgement — whe- 
 ther you have given a man any thing, or in- 
 tend to do so — do not you take him, full of 
 joy, to listen to your verses, &c. 
 
 429. Super his.] Besides. 
 
 430. Tundet, fyc] Will dance in ecstacies. 
 
 431. Dicunt et faciunt, $c ] Are louder 
 in their simulated grief than the real mourn- 
 ers. 
 
 433. Derisor, 8(c] He who is laughing in 
 his sleeve — the sham-admirer shews more 
 signs of admiration than the genuine approver. 
 Sat. ii. 6. 54. 
 
 434. Reges.] Rich men, as Od. i. 4, &c. 
 Multis urgaere, fyc] To ply with wine, 
 
 &c. the man whom they wish to put to the 
 test, &c.
