Էջ 9 - A virgin tragedy, an orphan muse.' If I dislike it, 'Furies, death and rage!' If I approve, 'Commend it to the stage.
Էջ 24 - Who but must laugh if such a man there be ? Who would not weep if Atticus were he?
Էջ 25 - Fed with soft Dedication all day long, Horace and he went hand in hand in song. His library, where busts of poets dead...
