Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Horace's Odes: Englished and Imitated by Various Hands
HE popularity of the poet whose writings have taken such a hold upon English literary taste as to have exercised the imitative talent of writers so diverse in their genius as Surrey and Cowper, Marvel and Hood, Dryden and Johnson, Milton and Horace Smith, is sufficiently well established to neces sitate but few words of introduction to this collection, which aims at illustrating, in a necessarily partial degree, the in?uence of Horace upon three centuries of English poets and scholars.
