Excerpt from Quinti Horatii Flacci Opera: Accedunt Clavis Metrica Et Not� Anglic� Juventuti Accommodat�

The, writings of Horace have an air of frankness and openness about them i; a manly simplicity, and a contempt of afi'ectation, or the little pride of a vain and mean concealment, which, at once, take hold on our confidence. We can believe the account which he gives of his own character, without scruple or suspicion. That he was fond of pleasure is confessed; but, generally speaking, he was moderate and temperate in his pleasures; an his convivial hours seem to have been far more intellectual, and more enli ht ened by social wit and wisdom, than are those of the common erd of Epicurean poets.
