Nugae Inutiles: Specimens of Translation (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Nugae Inutiles: Specimens of Translation

T emporibus maestitia versus componere quos tibi offero magnum mihi attulit solatium 5 eosque colligere collectosque in usum amicorum edere gratus fuit labor. Nonnulli versus sunt quos composui cum negotii causa cotidie in urbem per ferrea strata viarum vehebar, alios ut dixit eruditlss1mus ille vir Henricus Drury, in rare reducto, procul ab amicis, procul a libris, procul a doctissimorum colloquio, solus et tacitus et ali quando tristissimus in lucem protuli. Gemiam poet£ Phoebi que afflatum mihi prorsus deesse minime me latet, et teme rarius esset meo quidem judicio qul hac carmina poemata ap pellaret.
