The poems are given in both Latin and English on facing pages, after a preface in Latin by Alfred Godley and Ronald Knox. Charles Graves described the orgins of the book in a letter: " It occurred to [Kipling] about the blackest time of the last war, end of 1917 and early months of 1918, as a means of keeping up one's spirits and distracting our thoughts from present troubles, and he wrote to me outlining his plan and making many admirable suggestions for subjects of the sham odes .he was 'the begetter' of the scheme.
