Excerpt from Horace, Vol. 2 The poet renounces all verses of a ludicrous tarn, and resolves to Apply himself wholly to the study of philosophy. O thou, to whom the muse first tuned her lyre, Whose friendship shall her latest song inspire, Wherefore, Mecænas, would you thus engage Your bard, dismissed with honor from the stage, Again to venture in the lists of fame, His youth, his genius, now no more the same? Secure in his retreat Vejanius lies, Hangs up his arms, nor courts the doubtful prize; Wisely resolved to tempt his fate no more, Or the light crowd for his discharge implore. The voice of reason cries with piercing force, Loose from the rapid car your aged horse, Lest in the race derided, left behind, Jaded he drag his limbs and burst his wind. Then here farewell th' amusements of my youth; Farewell to verses, for the search of truth, And moral decency hath fill'd my breast, Hath every thought and faculty possess'd; And I now form ray philosophic lore, For all my future life a treasured store. You ask, perhaps, what sect, what chief I own; I'm of all sects, but blindly sworn to none; For as the tempest drives I shape my way, Now active plunge into the world's wide sea; Now Virtue's precepts rigidly defend, Nor to the world - the world to me shall bend: About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
