Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of the British Poets, Vol. 48: Including the Most Esteemed Translations From the Greek and Roman Authors; Containing Francis and Pye's Version of Horace
It costs him no more to paint with traits sublime the soul of Cato or of Regulus, than enchantingly to sing the caresses of Lalage, or the coquetries of Pyrrha.' The works indeed of this incompa rable author are equally the delight of our early and maturer years; and his life, though void of adventure, has been so often the subject of bio graphy, that it is not easy to discover a single circumstance of his existence which at this late period has been unexplored. On the present occa sion, therefore, nothing new can be expected; but the contemplation and praise of acknowledged excellence can scarcely produce fatigue by repe tition.
