Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of John Dryden, Vol. 2 of 2: In Verse and Prose, With a Life After this particular account of the beauties in the Georgics, i should, in the next place, en deavour to point out its imperfections, if it has any. But, though I think there are some few parts in it that are not so beautiful as the rest, I shall not presume to name them, as rather sus pooting my own judgment, than I can believe a fault to be in that poem, which lay so long un der Virgil's correction, and had his last ptit to it. The First Georgie was probably bur lesqued in the author's lifetime; for we still find in the scholiasts a verse that ridicules part of a line translated from Hesiod - Nadia are, we nudes: And we may easily guess at the judgment of this extraordinary critic, whoever he was, from his censuring this particular pre cept. We may be sure Virgil would not have translated it from Hesiod, had he not discovered some beauty in it; and indeed the beauty of it is, what I have before observed to be frequently met with in Virgil, the delivering the precept so indirectly, and singling out the particular cir cumstance of sowing and ploughing naked, to suggest to us, that these employments are proper only in the hot season of the year.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of John Dryden, Vol. 2 of 18: Illustrated With Notes, Historical, Critical, and Explanatory, and a Life of the Author The Editor may be pardoned in bestowing remarks upon Dry 'den's plays, only in proportion to their intrinsic merit, and to the attention which each has excited, either at its first appearance, or when the public attention has been since directed towards them.

Things were not brought to an extremity where I left the story; there seems yet to be room left for a composure; hereafter, there may be only for pity. I have not so much as an uncharitable wish against Achitophel, but am content to be accused of a good-natured error, and to h0pe, with Origen, that the devil himself may at last he saved: for which reason, in.
