Sinossi
Excerpt from Quinti Horatii Flacci Opera: Accedunt Clavis Metrica Et Notæ Anglicæ, Juventuti Accomodatæ
Horace, of all the writers of antiquity, most abounds with that practical good sense, and familiar observation of life and manners, which render an author, in. A more emphatic sense, the reader's companion. Good sense, in fact, seems the most distinguishing feature of his satires; for his wit seems rather forced; and it is their tone of sound understanding, added to their easy, conversation al air, and a certain turn for fine raillery, that forms the secret by which they please. In variety and versatility, his lyric genius is unrivalled by that of any poet with whom we are acquainted; and there are no marks of inequality or of inferiority to himself. Whether his odes be of the moral and philosophic kind; or the heroic the descrimive; or the amatory, the light, and the joyous; each separate species would seem to be his peculiar province. His epistles evince a. Knowledge of the weaknesses of the human heart, which wopld do honor to a professed philosopher. What Quintilian, and the modems after him, call the Art of Poetry, seems to have been only the third epistle of the second book, ad dressed to the Pisos. The style and manner differ in no respect from the former epistles. The observations are equally desultory, and we meet with the same strokes of satirical humor; which appear unsuitable to a didactic piece.

This book, a collection of odes by the renowned Roman poet Horace, offers a captivating glimpse into the political, social, and cultural landscape of the Augustan era. Written during a time of significant transformation in Roman history, the odes reflect the author's personal experiences, observations, and philosophical musings. Horace's poetry, characterized by its lyrical elegance and metrical precision, explores themes of patriotism, friendship, love, and the transience of life. The poems are addressed to a wide range of individuals, including the emperor Augustus, the poet's patron Maecenas, and various friends and acquaintances. Through these odes, Horace provides insights into the social and political dynamics of the time, as well as his own personal reflections on life, death, and the pursuit of happiness. The book's significance lies in its documentation of a pivotal period in Roman history, offering a valuable literary and historical record of the Augustan age.
