There are other mistakes and omissions, as to stops and accents, too many to set down, for which it is necessary, once for all, to crave the indulgence of the courteous reader; who, if he be conversant with the language, scarcely need be warned to put less faith in the Latin excerpts, as here given, than in his own taste, memory, sagacity, or copy of the author imitated. IMITATION OF THE ELEVENTH SATIRE OF JUVENAL. As the following Poem was written in the year 1806, it must have, besides its own peculiar faults, the disadvantages attached to all temporary and local satires; and several of the characters therein alluded to, must, ere this, have sunk into their merited oblivion. The author, however, of this imitation trusts that, although some of the persons themselves are past away, yet as the vices which they supported are still prominent, so this attempt at exposing "costly gluttony," one of the most distinguished extravagances of the age, may not be altogether without its use. The candid critics of our times have attached no small degree of reprobation to what they call trampling upon the ashes of the dead; but the imitator of this satire freely confesses, that if he had a notice of any defunct or forgotten rogue or fool, he would with as little hesitation hitch him into a couplet, as he would attempt to shew his love of wisdom and virtue by praising the good and wise of past ages. A great painter (see Sir J. Reynolds' notes to Fresnoy's Art of Painting) has recommended the study of faulty pictures to those who would wish to excel in that art, wisely conceiving it no small advancement towards the acquisition of a good taste, to obtain a quick discernment of and proper aversion for the real defects of imperfect artists. In like manner it must appear equally useful to those who would learn to live well, to place before themselves, not only some elegant model worthy of their imitation, but some hideous original from which they must resolve to depart. B JUVENALIS SATIRA XI. AD PERSICUM. 1 ATTICUS eximie si conat, lautus habetur: 2 Si Rutilus, demens: quid enim majore cachinno Excipitur vulgi, quam pauper Apicius? 3 Omnis Convictus, thermæ, stationes, omne theatrum De Rutilo. Nam dum valida, ac juvenilia membra Sufficiunt galeæ, dumque ardens sanguine festur Non cogente quidem, sed nec prohibente Tribuno Scripturus leges, et regia verba lanistæ.
