FAREWELL EPILOGUE, fpoken at WYNN- STAY, after the representation of CYMBELINE and The SPANISH BARBER, January 22, 1779. то The Rev. JOSEPH WARTON, D. D. MASTER of WINCHESTER SCHOOL; AND TO The Rev. THOMAS WARTON, B. D. FELLOW of TRINITY COLLEGE, OXFORD, MY DEAR FRIENDS! N a conversation, fome months ago, I happened IN to mention to you the idea I had long entertained of that celebrated Epiftle of Horace, commonly distinguished by the title of THE ART OF POETRY. I will not fay that you acceded to my opinion; but I flatter myself that I, in some degree interested your curiofity, and engaged your attention; our discourse at leaft revived an intention I had once formed, of communicating my thoughts on the sube ject to the Publick; an intention I had only dropt for want of leifure and inclination to attempt a tranflation of the Epiftle, which I thought neceflary to accompany the original, and my remarks on it. |
