Synopsis

Excerpt from The Odes and Epodes of Horace: Translated Literally and Rhythmically

To aid those placed under my care in uniting two conditions of translation, with the failure of either of which in students very serious evils must follow first, accuracy, strict, literal, word-for-word accuracy, and secondly, as much atten tion as possible to the language of poetry. I believe the former exercise is a most healthy discipline for the mind.
