BOOK XXVI.
ARGUMENT.
Gerlach considers this book to contain the strongest evidences of
how much Horace was indebted to Lucilius, not only in the choice
of his subjects, but also in his illustration and method of
handling the subject when chosen. In the 105th of the Fragmenta
incerta, we find the words "Valeri sententia dia" (which Horace
imitates, i. , Sat. ii. , 32, "sententia dia Catonis"). By Valerius
he here supposes Q. Valerius Soranus to be intended; a man of
great learning and an intimate friend of Publius Scipio and
Lucilius. He was author of a treatise on grammar, entitled
ἐποπτίδων; which contained, according to Turnebe's conjecture, a
discussion on the mysteries of literature and learning (ἐπόπτης
being applied to one initiated into the mysteries). This is not
improbable; as he is said to have lost his life for divulging the
sacred and mysterious name of Rome. Vid. Plut. , Qu. Rom. , lxi.
«Two verses of his are quoted by Varro, L. L. , vii. , 3, and x. ,
70. Cf. Plin. , H. N. , Præf. , p. 6, Hard. A. Gell. , ii. , 10. »
With him, therefore, as a man of judgment and experience,
Lucilius, who had already acquired some ill-will from his
Satires, consults, as to the best method of avoiding all odium
for the future, and as to the subjects he shall select for
his compositions. This book then contains an account of this
interview between the poet and his adviser; and Gerlach most
ingeniously arranges the fragments in such an order as to
represent in some manner the topics of discussion in a methodical
sequence. These are, chiefly, the propriety of his continuing
to pursue the same style of writing, and the enunciation of
the opinions of both on matters relating to war, marriage, and
literary pursuits.
Van Heusde and Schoenbeck give no definite idea of the subject.
Petermann considers the subject matter to have been far more
diversified. The book begins, in his opinion, with a vivid
description of the miseries of conjugal life, introducing a very
graphic matrimonial quarrel; this is followed by so infinitely
diversified a farrago of sentiments that it is hopeless to
attempt to establish any systematic connection between them.
Corpet considers the whole to have been a philosophical discussion
of the miseries of human life, especially those attendant on the
married state, which the poet illustrated by the very forcible
example of Agamemnon and Clytæmnestra.
The whole of the book was composed in the Trochaic metre;
consisting of tetrameters catalectic and acatalectic. A few
Fragments consist of Iambic heptameters and octometers (Iambici
septenarii et octonarii), unless, as is not improbable, these
lines have been referred to this book, through the inadvertence
of grammarians or copyists. It might, however, have been
intentional, as in the succeeding books we find Iambic, Trochaic,
and Dactylic metres indiscriminately employed.
1 Men, by their own act, bring upon themselves this trouble and
annoyance; they marry wives, and bring up children, by which
they cause these. [1831]
2 For you say indeed, that what was secretly intrusted to you,
you would neither utter a single murmur, nor divulge your
mysteries abroad. . . . [1832]
3 If she were to ask me for as much iron as she does gold, I
would not give it her. So again, if she were to sleep away from
me, she would not get what she asks.
4 . . . but Syrus himself, the Tricorian, a freedman and thorough
scoundrel; with whom I become a shuffler, and change all
things. [1833]
5 . . . covered with filth, in the extremity of dirt and
wretchedness, exciting neither envy in her enemies, nor desire
in her friends.
6 . . . but that I should serve under Lucilius as collector of the
taxes on pasturage in Asia, no, that I would not! [1834]
7 . . . just as the Roman people has been conquered by superior
force, and beaten in many single battles; but in war never, on
which every thing depends.
8 Some woman hoping to pillage and rifle me, and filch from me my
ivory mirror. [1835]
9 In throwing up a mound, if there is any occasion for bringing
vineæ into play, their first care is to advance them.
10
11 Take charge of the sick man, pay his expenses, defraud his
genius. [1836]
12 . . . But for whom? One whom a single fever, one attack of
indigestion, nay, a single draught of wine, could carry
off. . . . [1837]
13 If they commiserate themselves, take care you do not assign
their case too high a place. [1838]
14 Now, in like manner . . . we wish to captivate their mind . . .
just to the people and to authors. . . . [1839]
15 . . .
children believe that all the statues of brass are alive and
human beings, just so these men believe all these fables to be
