Quæstorque gazæ nobilioris,

Quam cui præfuit lön,

Clarus Erechtheides,

Opulenta dei per templa parentis,

Fulvosque tripodas, donaque Delphica,
Ion Actæa genitus Creusa.

ANTISTROPHE.

Ergo, tu visere lucos

Musarum ibis amœnos;

Diamque Phoebi rursus ibis in domum,

Oxonia quam valle colit,

Delo posthabita,

Bifidoque Parnassi jugo:

Ibis honestus,

Postquam egregiam tu quoque sortem

Nactus abis, dextri prece sollicitatus amici.

Illic legeris inter alta nomina

Authorum, Graiæ simul et Latinæ

Antiqua gentis lumina, et verum decus.

EPODOS.

Vos tandem, haud vacui mei labores,
Quicquid hoc sterile fudit ingenium,
Jam sero placidam sperare jubeo

Perfunctam invidia requiem, sedesque beatas,
Quas bonus Hermes,

Et tutela dabit solers Roüsi;

56 Ion] See the Ion of Euripides, 185, seq. 1146, seq. and Phoen.

228. Euripides calls Ion youuoqúkaxa, 54. Warton.

Quo neque lingua procax vulgi penetrabit, atque longe

Turba legentum prava facesset:

At ultimi nepotes,

Et cordatior ætas,

Judicia rebus æquiora forsitan

Adhibebit, integro sinu.

Tum, livore sepulto,

Si quid meremur sana posteritas sciet,
Roüsio favente.

Ode tribus constat Strophis, totidemque Antistrophis, una demum Epodo clausis; quas tametsi omnes nec versuum numero, nec certis ubique colis exacte respondeant, ita tamen secuimus, commode legendi potius, quam ad antiquos concinendi modos rationem spectantes. Alioquin hoc genus rectius fortasse dici monostrophicum debuerat. Metra partim sunt κατὰ σχέσιν, partim ἀπολελευμένα. Phaleucia quæ sunt, Spondæum tertio loco bis admittunt, quod idem in secundo loco Catullus ad libitum fecit.

A class of poems, which, whilst they are worthy of the immortal poet, are yet little understood, and less known. In this edition will be found Gerrinus' beautiful commentary upon them, which attempts to portray the progress of the poet's mind. We have not space to speak of this charming production, its truthfulness, its clear and powerful analysis, and its searching discrimination. It presents the sonnets in an entirely new light. It elevates them at once to an equal importance with the "plays."— Hunt's Merchant's Magazine.
