POEM. 73 O quid solutis est beatius curis ! CATULL. BOSTON: PUBLISHED BY SAMUEL H. PARKER, WOR 19 FEB 84 PREFACE. THE subject which I have chosen has too many attractions to have totally escaped notice. Since the time of Dryden, who says satirically, "Home is the sacred refuge of our life, Secured from all approaches but a wife," several eminent poets have successfully touched on the same topic, especially Burns and Campbell. But I have never met with any poem, written ex pressly on the subject of HOME. |
