Excerpt: ...flame, They tell us of the fate of Rome, And bid us fear the same. O'er Murray's loss the Muses wept, They felt the rude alarm; Yet bless'd the guardian care that kept, His sacred head from harm. Tt'nere Memory, like the bee that's fed From Flora's balmy store, The quintessence of all he read, Had treasured up before. The lawless herd, with fury blind) Have done him cruel wrong; The floxtnrs are gone, but still we find The honey on his tongue. CCLVI. TO A YOtjNG LADY WHO SPOKE IN PRAISE OF LIBERTY. Persuasions to freedom fall oddly from you, If freedom we seek--fair Maria adieu! CCLVII. A CLINCHER. Nature abhors a V'tccuum! Bubo said, Bubo, you're wrong--the Vaccuunfs in your head. CCLVHL ON OBSERVING SOME NAMES OF LITTLE NOTE IN THE BIOGRAPHIA BRITANNICA; Oh, fond attempt to give a deathless lot To names ignoble, born to be forgot! In vain, recorded in historic page, They court the notice of a future age: Those twinkling, tiny lustres of the land, Drop one by one, from fame's neglected hand; Lethean gulphs receive them as they fall, And dark oblivion soon'absorbs them all. So when a child, as playful children use, Has burnt to tinder a stale last year's news, The flame extinct, he views the roving fire--There goes my Lady, and there goes the Squire. There goes the Parson, oh, illustrious Spark! And there, scarce less illustrious, goes the clerk CCLIX. THE TEN MUSES.. Let those, who shine in gallantrjr, Boast of mistress'--fair and many, Only ten belong to me, And the youngest is my Fanny. VOL. II. K But the other charming nine, Neither jealous, nor averse, In her praises all combine To inspire my votive verse. CCLX. SILENCE IS WISDOM. Because I'm silent, for a fool Beau Clincher doth me take; I know he's one, by surer rule, For--I heard...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A delightful look at the epic literary history of the short, poetic genre of the epigram From Nestor’s inscribed cup to tombstones, bathroom walls, and Twitter tweets, the ability to express oneself concisely and elegantly, continues to be an important part of literary history unlike any other. This book examines the entire history of the epigram, from its beginnings as a purely epigraphic phenomenon in the Greek world, where it moved from being just a note attached to physical objects to an actual literary form of expression, to its zenith in late 1st century Rome, and further through a period of stagnation up to its last blooming, just before the beginning of the Dark Ages. A Companion to Ancient Epigram offers the first ever full-scale treatment of the genre from a broad international perspective. The book is divided into six parts, the first of which covers certain typical characteristics of the genre, examines aspects that are central to our understanding of epigram, and discusses its relation to other literary genres. The subsequent four parts present a diachronic history of epigram, from archaic Greece, Hellenistic Greece, and Latin and Greek epigrams at Rome, all the way up to late antiquity, with a concluding section looking at the heritage of ancient epigram from the Middle Ages up to modern times. Provides a comprehensive overview of the history of the epigram The first single-volume book to examine the entire history of the genre Scholarly interest in Greek and Roman epigram has steadily increased over the past fifty years Looks at not only the origins of the epigram but at the later literary tradition A Companion to Ancient Epigram will be of great interest to scholars and students of literature, world literature, and ancient and general history. It will also be an excellent addition to the shelf of any public and university library.
