Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lays of Ancient Rome Even in the age of Plutarch there were discerning men who rejected the popular account of the foundation of Rome, because that account appeared to them to have the air, not of a history, but of a romance or a drama. Plutarch, who was displeased at their incredulity, had nothing better to say in reply to their arguments than that chance sometimes turns poet, and produces trains of events not to be distinguished from the most elaborate plots which are constructed by art.* But though the existence of a poetical element in the early history of the Great City was detected so many ages ago.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lays of Ancient Rome: Essays and Poems Matthew Arnold and others attacked the Lays, judging them by the irrelevant standard of the highest flights of poetry. But judged for what they are, ballads, they are masterly, and deserved the immense popularity they enjoyed with two generations of Englishmen. In those days every schoolboy knew them, and many both young and old had them by heart. From them young people learnt to take pleasure in the sound and rhythm of verse, which helped them later to enjoy other greater poets. I do not think that the oblivion into which the Lays have since fallen has been an advantage to literature.

Book excerpt: First published in 1842, "Lays of Ancient Rome" is a collection of six lays, or narrative poems, by the British historian and politician Thomas Babington Macaulay. Four of the six poems retell famous heroic episodes from early Roman history and two of the lays concern more modern, nineteenth-century events. Macaulay's work is the result of his detailed research into Roman history and his goal to create poems that resemble those that may have been sung or spoken in ancient times. "Lays of Ancient Rome" was immensely popular upon its publication and the text became a standard book in British public schools, where countless students memorized and recited the classic poems. The most famous of the lays is "Horatius", which recounts the heroic deeds of Publius Horatius and his two friends, who held a critical bridge against the invading Etruscan army and prevented the sacking of an undefended Rome. This stirring work was quoted by Winston Churchill, who had read the work as a schoolboy, to convince the British government to stand strong against the threat of a German invasion during World War II. The poem's famous lines continue to appear often in television, movies, and literature. Macaulay's timeless work is a lyrical and inspiring combination of both history and poetry that continues to educate and engage audiences of all ages. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
