Excerpt from Carmina, Liber Epodon: With Introduction and Notes
Horace's Latin is a good deal affected by the conciseness which, as we have just said (p. Xx) was demanded by the perpetually recurring emphases of lyric poetry. For the sake of brevity he often used expressions which may be called 'short cuts,' intended to avoid unemphatic prepositions and conjunctions, and to bring important words closer together. The most striking instances of this practice are his use of the genitive case and of the infinitive mood. His freedom in the use of these constructions was undoubtedly imitated from the Greek, though it is not always possible to produce a Greek parallel for every Horatian instance.
