Eh?” he daring asks; “my style - Is all my own, it’s new.” “It’s vile,” - The Ape cries, midst the Hog’s dissent, - Who finds the dancing excellent; - Praises the grace of hams and paws, - Applauded, (he could spare applause,) - So natural! and owns that pigs - Shine less in minuets and jigs; - And even the critic he defies - To equal that which he decries. - Then Bruin, with a thoughtful air, - Cries, “Friend, your panegyric spare; - A censuring Ape I might distrust, - His blame’s too general to be just; - But, oh! preserve me from my friends! - I must dance ill—a Hog commends.” - - - - -TRANSLATIONS FROM HORACE. - - - - -BOOK I.—ODE III. - - - I. - - Thee, may the Cyprian queen divine, - And Helen’s brethren, glittering sign, - And Æolus, the winds’ stern sire, - (Save Iapyx all his subjects bound,) - Ship! prosperous guide; that safe ashore - Our Virgil, to the Attic ground - Thou mayst, thy trusted freight, give o’er, - And save one half my soul entire. - - II. - - His bosom fenced brass triply stout, - Who first in fragile bark put out, - Braving the ocean; undeterr’d - By south-west winds, in contest dire - With north-east blasts; sad Hyades, - Or by the south wind’s fiercer ire, - Lord o’er the Adriatic seas - Calm’d at its sovereign will, or stirr’d. - - III. - - What shapes of death could him affright, - Who view’d those ill-famed summits, hight - Acroceraunia, and the swell - And swimming monsters of the main - With steadfast eye? God’s wise decree - Disjoins the lands remote in vain, - If impious, o’er the severing sea - The bark contemptuous sails propel. - - IV. - - Man, bold to endure where gain’s the cause, - Bursts through divine and human laws. - When bold Prometheus, for our race, - Plunder’d of fire the mansions blest - By wicked fraud, o’er earth new bands - Of fevers brooded; forward prest - The pestilence, and new commands - Quicken’d death’s first retarded pace. - - V. - - On pinions, unto man denied, - Once Dædalus void æther tried. - By force hell’s bounds Alcides past. - Nought is too arduous for man: - We foolish, heaven itself invade, - Our desperate crimes fresh outbreaks plan; - And force Jove’s hand, by mercy stay’d, - The angry bolts to launch at last. - - - - -BOOK I.—ODE V. - - - What slender youth, whom many roses crown, - Whose hair rich liquid unguents steal adown, - Wooes thee, coy Pyrrha, in some pleasant grot? - For whom dost thou thy golden tresses knot - Neat in thine elegance? How oft he’ll weep - Thy faith and gods as mutable! The deep - How oft, poor simple novice, he’ll admire - Blackening beneath the savage tempest’s ire, - Who now enjoys thee in thy golden days, - Unconscious how the changing wind betrays; - Ah, credulous! and fondly hopes to find - Thee his for ever, and for ever kind. - Woe unto whom thou glitterest untried! - My votive picture, in his temple, tells - I’ve hung my garments, reeking from the tide, - Before the God, whose power the ocean quells. - - - - -BOOK I.—ODE IX. - - - I. - - How white Soracte stands, behold, - With lofty snows! Its labouring trees - Groan ’neath the weight.

Some say, but erroneously as I think, that he was the “puer,” -the “minister,” of the poet. But this is not probable, for to such -persons odes were not then commonly addressed. No! Harris was no servant, -he was the friend, the “commensalis,” the fellow-messman of the author at -the cuddy table; whom he may be supposed to be inviting to the erratic -fish, which, under the influence of a gale, has become as locomotive as -ever it was in its own native element. - -[2] Why civic, since the entertainment was nautical? ask some -matter-of-fact critics. Do not these blunderers perceive the -delicately-veiled compliment to the owners of the vessel upon the -richness and profusion of the viands? - -[3] “Simulating ven’son.” This process is, unfortunately, in some degree -lost to us. Some say that mutton was made to resemble venison, by being -roasted with the wool on. Others, that it was the flesh of a seven-year -old male, _not a wether_. But neither of these conjectures is correct. -The meat was probably steeped in a brine compounded of wine, salt, -spices, sugar, and other condiments, and sprinkled with Irish blackguard -and brickdust. - -[4] “Catch.” Some critics would substitute “reach” for “catch.” But who -does not see the witty allusion to the unsteadiness of the table, to -which these dull dogs are blind? - -[5] “Still.” Free from motion. - -[6] “Watery potatoes.” This expression is very enigmatical. Some -understand by it “dressed in, or by means of water,” as potatoes boiled -or steamed, in opposition to roasted, baked, or fried potatoes, his -preference for which the author is supposed to insinuate. But in my -opinion this reading, though ingenious, is not correct; the true sense -of the expression is potatoes carried by water, that is, potatoes eaten -at sea. Murphyius, however, that intemperate though erudite Hibernian -critic, declares that it means any potato not Irish, which last alone, as -he says, were free when dressed from superfluous moisture. He contends, -that the potato esteemed by epicures was a mealy potato. But he offers -nothing in proof of his assertion. - -[7] “Lap.” This is plainly a misreading for “plate.” It would have been -an unfriendly and unamiable wish had the author prayed that liquids, -as soups and sauces were, should fall into the lap of his friend, of -which it would naturally have been irretentive. It is easy to trace the -corruption of the text. “Plate” has been written with an elision, “pla,” -by a copyist studious of his ease. The now final vowel has slipped into -the middle place and formed “pal;” which a careless scribe, putting the -cart before the horse, has changed into “lap.” - -[8] “Derelict.” This implies the departure from the table of some -squeamish person without the “animus revertendi.” - -[9] “Cheaply benignant,” that is, dispensing things not its own, liberal -at the expense of others; as a generous churchwarden, a chairman -distributing prizes, a prime minister filling up a pension-list, a House -of Commons voting supplies, or an attorney marking undelivered briefs for -a son. - - - - -THE DOCTOR WITHOUT A SOUL; OR, THE CREATURES OF ROMANCE. - - - I. - - His studies o’er, his next discourse - Impromptu learnt by rote, - The rector rose, and doff’d a coarse - To don a finer coat. - - II. - - His silken hose with shining clocks - Which clothed each portly calf, - His shovel hat right orthodox, - And golden-headed staff, - - III. - - All spoke the doctor. On he strode: - Soon splash’d, he vow’d irate, - The sinner who survey’d the road - He’d excommunicate. - - IV. - - No! he’d indict his stubborn flock, - And shear their golden fleece. - Who, heeding _much_ the parish stock, - _Little_ Victoria’s peace, - - V. - - Rebellious lieges! mended not - The errors of their ways, - (Upon their pastor’s shoes a spot - Would shorten not their days!) - - VI. - - Thus he resolved; but cries invade - His Reverence’s ear! - Is it some damsel, who, afraid, - Sees men disguised in beer? - - VII. - - Or one the milky mothers meet - Emerging from the byre? - Who sees a snake beneath her feet? - Or waddling toad retire? - - VIII. - - Perplex’d, he hurries on the while, - But soon is seen to stand - Amazed: two ladies on a stile - Were seated hand in hand: - - IX. - - Young were they both, and fair to view, - Yet sorrow from their eyes - Tears, so the doctor fancied, drew: - He spoke, in grave surprise: - - X. - - “Issued those cries from ladies’ throats? - And what’s the reason? say.” - “How canst thou ask, when all denotes - The cause? this glorious day!” - - XI. - - “Thank God,” he cried, “the day is fine, - Yet why should that distress? - The glass is rising; to repine - Seems rude unthankfulness.” - - XII. - - “We are not understood, we see - With optics not like thine, - What canst thou know of poesy, - A middle-aged divine? - - XIII. - - “Was ever yet a poet known - To wear a white cravat? - A soul did ever mortal own - In a three-corner’d hat? - - XIV. - - “We could sit here and cry for hours, - Or shriek with sad delight; - The earth, sea, sky, sun, shade, and flowers, - Are agonising quite. - - XV. - - “To weep’s enjoyment half divine: - Unsavoury appears - To thee, a bibber of port wine, - The luxury of tears. - - XVI. - - “Farewell, farewell! we grieve for thee;” - (They cast a pitying glance,) - Doctor, thou hast no sympathy - With Creatures of Romance.” - - - - -A MATRIMONIAL DIALOGUE AND MARINE ECLOGUE. - - - MR.

Harris was no servant, he was the -friend, the “commensalis,” the fellow-messman of the author at the cuddy -table; whom he may be supposed to be inviting to the erratic fish, which, -under the influence of a gale, has become as locomotive as ever it was in its -own native element.</p> - -</div> - -<div class="footnote"> - -<p><a id="Footnote_2" href="#FNanchor_2" class="label">[2]</a> Why civic, since the entertainment was nautical? ask some matter-of-fact -critics.

But in my opinion this reading, though -ingenious, is not correct; the true sense of the expression is potatoes carried -by water, that is, potatoes eaten at sea. Murphyius, however, that intemperate -though erudite Hibernian critic, declares that it means any potato not -Irish, which last alone, as he says, were free when dressed from superfluous -moisture.
