PREFACE. THIS book comes of a wish to gather up some work in which I have found pleasure for years. Forty-three translations are brought together here. Thirty of these are revisions of pieces already published elsewhere. In the Arundines Cami: 14, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. In the Sertum Carthusianum: 2, 7, 15, 16, 17, 19, 30, 31. In the Folia Silvulae: Part I. 3, 5, 10, 11, 13, 26, 29, 40: Part II. 4, 8, 9, 12, 18, 20, 27, 28. Leave to revise and reprint these pieces has been given by the Editor in each case. The other thirteen translations have not been published before-1, 6, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 41, 42, 43. The metres into which I have tried to do 'Abt Vogler' are those of the fourth Pythian. I wish to express my thanks for advice and help in preparing this book to M. Ch. Chauvet; to Dr Kennedy, Regius Professor of Greek in the University of Cambridge; to Mr F. A. Paley; and to Mr Sidney Colvin, Fellow of Trinity College and Slade Professor of Fine Art. TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE. March, 1873. |
