Page 202 - Ordinis haec virtus erit et venus, aut ego fallor, Ut jam nunc dicat jam nunc debentia dici, Pleraque differat et praesens in tempus omittat; Hoc amet, hoc spernat promissi carminis auctor.
Page 212 - Vultum verba decent, iratum plena minarum, Ludentem lasciva, severum seria dictu. Format enim natura prius nos intus ad omnem Fortunarum habitum ; juvat aut impellit ad iram Aut ad humum maerore gravi deducit et angit ; 110 Post effert animi motus interprete lingua.
Page 244 - Munus et officium, nil scribens ipse, docebo ; Unde parentur opes ; quid alat formetque poetam ; Quid deceat, quid non ; quo virtus, quo ferat error.

Page 206 - Ut silvae foliis pronos mutantur in annos, 60 Prima cadunt ; ita verborum vetus interit aetas, Et juvenum ritu florent modo nata vigentque.

Page 245 - The critic, who with nice discernment knows What to his country and his friends he owes ; How various nature warms the human breast, To love the parent, brother, friend, or guest ; What the great functions of our judges are, Of senators, and generals sent to war ; He can distinguish, with unerring art, The strokes peculiar to each different part.
Page 176 - Tres mihi convivae prope diflentire videntur, Pofcentes vario multum diverfa palato. Quid dem ? quid non dem? renuis quod tu, jubet alter: Quod petis, id fane eft invifum acidumque duobus.
Page 159 - When conquer'd Greece brought in her captive arts, She triumph'd o'er her savage conquerors' hearts; Taught our rough verse its numbers to refine. And our rude style with elegance to shine.
Page 4 - Condo & compono, quae mox depromere poffim. Ac ne forte roges, quo me duce, quo Lare tuter ; Nullius add ictus jurare in verba magiftri, Quo me cunque rapit tempeftas, deferor hofpes.
