It may be thought, that a prose translation would present the most accurate representation; but I am not aware, that anything agreeable to read has been executed in this manner. As the original is in verse, it may be doubted, if any prose translation can preserve a good likeness; like a print, it may give the outline of a picture, but it is without the warmth and charm of colour ing.

The praise of judgment Virgil has justly contested with him, and others may have their pretensions as to particular excellences; but his invention remains yet unrivalled.

The praise of judgment Virgil has justly contested with him, and others may have their pretensions as to particular excellences; but his invention remains yet unrivalled. Nor is it a wonder if he has ever been acknowledged the greatest of poets, who most excelled in that which is the very foundation of poetry. It is the invention that in different degrees distin guishes all great geniuses: the utmost stretch of human study, learning, and hdustry, which masters every thing besides, can never attain to this. It finishes Art with all her materials, and without it Judgment itself can at heat but steal wisely: for Art is only like a prudent steward, that lives on imaging the riches of Nature. Whatever praises may be given to works of hdgment, there is not even a single beauty in them to which the invention lust not contribute: as in the most regular gardens, Art can only reduce the kauties of Nature to more regularity, and such a figure, which the common Qe may better take in, and is therefore more entertained with. And perhaps is reason why common critics are inclined to prefer a judicious and methodical pains to a great and fruitful one, is, because they find it easier for themselves b me their observations through an uniform and bounded walk of Art, fin to comprehend the vast and various extent of Nature.

Excerpt from The Iliad of Homer: Translated Into English Accentuated Hexameters If we deny ourselves the use of the hexameter for the trans lation of Homer, we have nothing to fall back upon but the decasyllable Iambic of Milton and Pope, varied only by the Alexandrine, as in the Spenserian stanza; or on the same metre augmented by a supernumerary syllable, constituting the hendecasyllabic measure of Dr Alford; a great objeétion to which is its extreme tendency to fall into the Sapphic cadence´.

Against both these metres (in their purity) the true obj eétion however is, that they are Iambic, (i. E. Epigrammatic), in their sharp, ringing, accentuated close; and as such, better fitted for satirical writing (for which they were invented by Archilochus, as Horace informs us2), or for the terse, thoughtful.
