HAMILTON, LONDON. 1810, 1S 76' > * ADVERTISEMENT. THE EDITOR of the present Edition has been careful to correct, both in the Original and the Translation, numerous errors that are to be found in the common copies. He has not printed the English and Latin on opposite pages, because the most experienced teachers are of opinion, that a translation ought not to be used till the student has bestowed all his own penetration and industry in endeavouring to make out the sense of the author. He is, however, too apt to have recourse to it, when it is immediately under his eye, before his penetration and industry have been sufficiently exerted. When he is at a loss, the difficult passage will easily be found in this Edition by turning to the corresponding page in the other Volume. PREFACE. The following verfion being the work of 9 man who has made poetry, perhaps, too much the bufinefs of his life, fome account of his mo- tives for undertaking it may feem neceffary. In the firft place, then, there was reafon to be- lieve that a thing of this kind, properly execu- ted, would be very ufeful to thofe who arc de- firous of acquiring or recovering a competent knowledge of the Latin tongue. Secondly, tha* extraordinary fuccefs which attempts of this kind have met with, thougn by men who manifeflly did not understand the author, any otherwife than through a French medium ; and though printed in large volumes, and fold at a propor- tionable price, gave fufficient reafon for the tranflator to hope, that his labour would not be in in vain ; I fay labour^ for genius, if he had any pretenfions to it, could not have been exerted in the work btfore us. The purchafer Vrili herein find, that cheap- nefs and convenience have been confulted for his fervice. Though every line is conftrued almoft ver- batim, yet abfolute baldnefs has been, as much as poffible, avoided. The learned reader need not be informed that this verfion Was not intended for him ; though fame of the moft eminent of that cha- rafler have condefcended to examine the ma- nufcript, and given it the far. ft ion of their ap- probation. I fliall take leave of ray reader in the words of an old poet, which are applicable enough to this Undertaking: Dumos inter et altera Scrupolis fetjuimur vadis. PREFACE. v Fronte exile negotium Et dignum pueris puteg : Aggreffis labor arduus Nec tradlabile pondus eft. Par exanimis xftus eft Ceu fubiimia differas Par eft judicii mora Pompae gloria vilis eft. Terent. Maurus. N. B. This work will be particularly ufeful to fuch Foreign Gentlemen as are already acquainted with the Latin, and are defirous of being mailers of the Ejigliih tongue. 1 THE FIRST BOOK OF THE ODES O F HORACE. O D E I. To MAECENAS. Al! men have different attachments : Horace,’j tajfe is for Lyric poetry, for the fuccefs cf 'ivbich he de- pends upon the patronage cf}AlECt.ti AS. MAECENAS,defcenc’ed from royal ancellors, O both my prote&ion and my darling honour! There are fomewhofe delight it is t* have col- lected Olympic dull in the chariot race ; and lohom the goal nicely avoided by glowing wheels, and the noble palm, exalts to the Gods—the governors of the world. This man, if an affembly of the capricious Roman commonalty be bent to raife him to the higheft digni- A ties; *5 T. ( i ) ties; another, if he Rath * ftored up in his own granary whatfoever is fwept fro-i' the Lybian threfliing-floots ; a third, as his delight is to plow his patrimonial fields, you could never tempt him, with all the wealth of At- tains, to become a timorous failor, and crofs the Myflo- an fea in a Cyprian bark. The merchant, dreading the fouth-weft wind contending with the Icaiian waves, commends tranquillity and the ruralnefs of his village : but danger over, and incapable of being taught to bear poverty, he refits his fhattered veffeb There is another whofe higheft giul is in cups^ of old Maffic, and in breaking the day, one while ftretched 'at cafe under the green Arbutus, another at the placid head of feme fir- cred llteam. The camp, and' the fott-nd of the trumpet confufej with that of the clarion, and wars deteited by mother’s, rejoice many. The huntiman', unmindful of bis tender fpottfe, re- mains in the cold air, whether a hart is he’d in view by his faithful hounds, or; IVirfian boar has broke tils circling toils. Ivy, the reward of learned brows, equals Me (in hap- phirfs ] to the Gods above : the cool grove, and the * light dances of Nymphs and Satyrs, diftinguifh Ma" from the crowd ; if neither Euterpe with-holds her pipe, nor Polyhymnia difdain? to tune the Lefbian lyre. But if you will rank me am ng the Eyrie poets, I ihall towV to the ftars w:th my eraltcd head— You to ’he nobleft he’ghts rf fame Shall raifeyour poet s deathk fs name.

SO may the powerful Cypr’an Goddefs; fo may the bright ftars, the * bro'.hc rs of Helen; and fo may the father of the winds, confining all except f lapyx, diredl thee, O Ship, who art intrufted with Virgil; my prayer is that thou mayft land him fafeon the Athe- nian Ihore, and preferve the half of my foul Surely oak and threefold brafs furrounded his hea-t, who firtt trulf- cd a frail veffel to the mercilefs ocean, nor was afraid of the impetuous African •wind contending with the Northern ftorms, nor of the mournful Hyades, nor of the rage of the South-weft wind, than which there is not a more abfolute controller of the Adriatic, to either raife, or to afluage its waves at pleafure. Whit form of death could terrify him, who beheld unmoved the rolling monfters of the deep ; who Lcheld unmoved the tempeftuous fwelling of the fea, and the Acierceraunians .—infamous rocks!

  • THE SATYRICON, Complete
    THE SATYRICON OF PETRONIUS ARBITER Complete and unexpurgated translation by W. C. Firebaugh, in which are incorporated the forgeries of Nodot and Marchena, and the readings introduced into the text by De Salas. PREFACE Among the difficulties which beset the path of the conscientious translator, a sense of his own unworthiness must ever take precedence; but another, scarcely less disconcerting, is the likelihood of misunderstanding some allusion which was perfectly familiar to the author and his public, but which, by reason of its purely local significance, is obscure and subject to the misinterpretation and emendation of a later generation. A translation worthy of the name is as much the product of a literary epoch as it is of the brain and labor of a scholar; and Melmouth's version of the letters of Pliny the Younger, made, as it was, at a period when the art of English letter writing had attained its highest excellence, may well be the despair of our twentieth century apostles of specialization. Who, today, could imbue a translation of the Golden Ass with the exquisite flavor of William Adlington's unscholarly version of that masterpiece? Who could rival Arthur Golding's rendering of the Metamorphoses of Ovid, or Francis Hicke's masterly rendering of Lucian's True History? But eternal life means endless change and in nothing is this truth more strikingly manifest than in the growth and decadence of living languages and in the translation of dead tongues into the ever changing tissue of the living. Were it not for this, no translation worthy of the name would ever stand in need of revision, except in instances where the discovery and collation of fresh manuscripts had improved the text.

I also owe my thanks generally to everyone in the department of Classical and Near Eastern Studies—professors, fellow graduate students, and administrators alike—for their years of support and camaraderie. I could not have enjoyed my time there as I did without them. i For Holly, τῇ φιλτάτῃ κυνὶ, ἣν ὡς ἄνθρωπον ἐθάψαμεν καὶ ἐδακρύσαμεν ii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS.......................................................................................................................ix CHAPTER 1.
