IMITATIONS OF HORACE.

[OF the following Imitations of Horace the first two are rather imitations of wift, Horace merely supplying the text for the travesty. For (as previous editors ve not failed to point out), no styles could be found less alike one another an the bland and polite style of Horace and the downright, and often cynically ain, manner of Swift, With Pope the attempt to write in Swift's style was a ere tour de force, which he could indeed carry out with success through a few mes, but not further, without relapsing into his own more elaborate manner. wift's marvellous precision and netteté of expression are something very different om Pope's pointed and rhetorical elegance. The latter was as ill suited by ne Hudibrastic metre patronised by Swift, as was the comic genius of Butler imself by the wider, but nowise easier, garment of the heroic couplet. As it as Swift, and not Horace, whom Pope imitated in the first two of the following ieces, it is needless to follow Warton into a comparison between them and preHous attempts at a real version of Horace. The Ode to Venus, which was first ublished in 1737, more nearly approaches the character of a translation.]

BOOK I. EPISTLE VII.1

Imitated in the Manner of Dr SWIFT.

IS true, my Lord, I gave my word,
I would be with you, June the
third;

Chang'd it to August, and (in short)
Have kept it—as you do at Court.
You humour me when I am sick,
Why not when I am splenetic?
In town, what Objects could I meet?
The shops shut up in ev'ry street,
And Fun'rals black'ning all the Doors,
And yet more melancholy Whores :
And what a dust in every place!
And a thin Court that wants your Face,
And Fevers raging up and down,
And W* and H** both in town?!

"The Dog-days are no more the case. 'Tis true; but Winter comes apace: Then southward let your Bard retire,

[Horace's Epistle, which serves as the groundwork of the above, is addressed to cenas, and intended as an excuse and a justification for his protracted absence from Rome.
