Isles of Greece_; _Were my Bosom_, etc.; _Herod's Lament_, etc.; and
_Lord Byron's Latest Verses_ ("On this day I complete my thirty-sixth

_Hints from Horace_.
_Note_.--Two sets of proofs of a portion of _Hints from Horace_,
formerly the property of R.C. Dallas, are preserved in the British
Museum (_Eg_. 2029). Proof A consists of 100 lines of the English
translation (lines 173-272); Proof B, pp. [87]-128, consists of 272
lines of the English translation (lines 1-272) and (on opposite pages)
188 lines of the original Latin. These proof-sheets, which must have
followed proofs of the Fifth Edition of _English Bards_, _etc_., are
preceded by a Half-title, _Hints from Horace_ (Gothic characters), and
by the following subsidiary title:--
Hints from Horace:/ Being a/ Partial Imitation, in English Verse, of the
Epistle,/ "Ad Pisones de Arte Poetica;"/ And intended as a Sequel to/
English Bards and Scotch Reviewers./ [Gothic characters.] "Ergo fungar
vice Cotis, acutum/ Reddere quæ ferrum valet, exsors ipsa secandi."/
Hor. De Arte Poet. 304-5./ "Rhymes are difficult things; they are
stubborn things, sir."/ Fielding's Amelia, Vol. III./ Book and Chap. V./
Athens, Franciscan Convent,/ March 12, 1811./
