Synopsis
Excerpt from Horace for English Readers: Being a Translation of the Poems of Quintus Horatius Flaccus Into English Prose
Venusia was a 'colony': that is, it was originally a frontier town, an Outpost planted In a conquered country, where veteran soldiers were settled and a miniature Rome created. It was founded In no. 291, near the end of the last Samnite war. Horace makes in Sat. I to an interesting use of this position Of Venusia. He is defending himself for writing Satire, and he says that heis as them settlers in old days, set onthe border, of a fighting stock, ready to do battle with any one who assails the territory which he has undertaken to guard. In other words his Satire is one of defence, not bf defiance. He writes not to wound or injure, but to protect the sacred interests Of virtue, good sense.
