Excerpt from The New Fragments of Juvenal: A Lecture Delivered at Corpus Christi College on Tuesday, February 5, 1901
It is tolerably clear that these three lines are an alteration and condensation of the other five this would be a natural consequence of the poet's rejecting the fragment as a whole, yet retaining the concluding verses, in accordance with an economic feeling that they were sufficiently finished to need little change but curtailment.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents thirty-six new lines in the VIth Satire of Juvenal, a discovery that ranks among the most important in recent research. Authored by an unknown scholar, the text was found in a centuries-old Bodleian MS. The lines, which follow a description of women's extravagance and unbridled passion, explore themes of morality, virtue, and the consequences of vice, placing Juvenal's work within a broader context of Roman literature and highlighting the depth and nuance of his writing. The new lines are considered worthy of Juvenal, exhibiting his best style and metrical artistry, and offer scholars and readers alike a deeper understanding of the poet's work and the social landscape of his time.
