Select Odes of Horace in English Lyrics: A Specimen of a New Translation of the Poet (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Excerpt from Select Odes of Horace in English Lyrics: A Specimen of a New Translation of the Poet
The object of the following work is to present to the English reader Translations of some choice Odes of the Roman Poet, in a form combining an almost literal fidelity of rendering, with the spirit of the original - in as far as the writer may have been successful in embodying it. He has long considered that much has been left hitherto to be accomplished on both these points; and without wishing to detract from the merits of former Translators, or to challenge very especially their competition, he wishes simply to place the present work before the reader, that if approved, it may lead to a more extended re-translation of the Poet,and his appearance in a more native hue beforc the public.
