[Footnote 942: By these means.--Ver. 271. He alludes to those who continued to slip into dead men's shoes, by making trifling presents of niceties. Juvenal inveighs against this practice.] [Footnote 943: Poetry does not.--Ver. 274. See the remarks of Dipsas in the Amores, Book i. El. viii. 1. 57.] [Footnote 944: Only rich.--Ver. 276. See the Amores, Book iii. El. ii.] [Footnote 945: Tyrian hue.--Ver. 297. See the Fasti, Book ii. 1. 107, and the Note.] [Footnote 946: Of Cos--Ver. 298. See the Epistles of Sabinus, Ep. iii. 1. 45, and the Note.] [Footnote 947: A dress of felt.--Ver. 300. 'Gausape,' 'gausapa,' or 'gausapum,' was a kind of thick woolly cloth, which had a long nap on one side. It was used to cover tables and beds, and as a protection against wind and rain. It was worn both by males and females, and came into use among the Romans about the time of Augustus.] [Footnote 948: You are setting me on fire.--Ver. 301. Burmanu deservedly censures the explanation of 'moves incendia,' given by Crispinus, the Delphin Editor, 'Vous mourrez de chaud,' 'You will die of heat,' applying the observation to the lady, and not, figuratively, to the feelings of her lover.] [Footnote 949: Her very embraces.--Ver. 308. The common reading of this line is clearly corrupt; probably the reading is the one here adopted, 'Et un dat, gaudia, voce proba.'] [Footnote 950: What advice--Ver. 368. These attempts at argument are exhausted by Paris, in his Epistle to Helen.] [Footnote 952: Stinging-nettle.--Ver. 417. Pliny prescribes nettle-seed as a stimulating medicine, mixed with linseed, hyssop, and pepper.] [Footnote 953: White onion.--Ver. 421. The onions of Megara are praised by Cato, the agricultural writer.] [Footnote 954: Alcathous.--Ver. 421. See the Metamorphoses, Book vii. 1.] [Footnote 955: At first.--Ver. 467. See the beginning of the First Book of the Metamorphoses.] [Footnote 956: Unclean mate.--Ver. 486. He alludes to the strong smell of the he-goat.] [Footnote 957: Machaon.--Ver. 491. He was a famous physician, son of Æsculapius, and was slain in the Trojan war. See the Tristia, Book v. El. vi. 1. 11.] [Footnote 958: He came.--Ver. 496. 'Adest' seems a preferable reading to 'agit.'] [Footnote 959: To know himself.--Ver. 600. 'Know thyself,' was a saying of Chilo, the Lacedaemonian, one of the wise men of Greece. This maxim was also inscribed in gold letters in the temple of Apollo at Delphi. 'Too much of nothing' was a second maxim there inscribed; and a third was, 'Misery is the consequence of debt and discord.'] [Footnote 960: Drinks with elegance.--Ver. 506. It is hard to say what art in drinking is here alluded to; whether a graceful air in holding the cup, or the ability of drinking much without shewing any signs of inebriety.
