LIBER PRIMUS HORACE'S SATIRES, I. WITH TRANSLATION BY EDWARD ROSS WHARTON, M.A. FELLOW AND LECTURER OF JESUS COLLEGE, OXFORD. James Parker and Co., 6 SOUTHAMPTON-STREET, STRAND, LONDON; AND 27 BROAD-STREET, OXFORD. 1892. THIS translation is as far as possible verbatim ; that is, I have endeavoured to translate every distinctive word in the same way wherever it occurs, and to avoid translating any two Latin words in different places by the same English word. In this, Horace's first work, the vocabulary, restricted as it is, is chosen with extreme care, and it would often be easy to miss the point of the words unless they were rendered quite literally. Thus I have throughout translated charta 'paper.' comes 'comrade.' convictor 'companion.' delictum 'offence.' error 'mistake.' peccatum 'transgression.' íra 'irritability.' libido 'will.' dulcis 'kind.' suavis'nice.' fessus 'tired.' lassus' weary.' justus 'lawful.' liber 'frank. mens 'idea.' onus 'load.' paullo perhaps.' aequus ‘equitable.' felix'happy.' dignus 'deserving.' meritus 'meriting.' concludo 'enclose.' corrumpo 'spoil.' cupio 'desire.' moror 'trouble.' On the other hand the following words are of necessity differently translated, some of them even within the limits of the same satire : aetas 'age,' 'life' IV. 132, 'time' IV. 119. auctor authority' IV. 80, 122, 'originator' X. 66. carmen 'charm' VIII. 19, 'poetry' X. 66. causa 'cause,' 'reason.' ferrum iron,'' steel.' frons forehead,' 'frontage' VIII. 12. genus 'kind,' 'kin': generosus' well born.' jus laws,' 'right,'' court.' labor work,' 'labour,' ' trouble.' nummi 'money,' 'principal' III. 88. ratio 'thought' I. 2, VI. 93, ' Reason' III. 78, 115. res 'case,'' estate,' 'way': Plur.
