The Spectator, Volumes 1, 2 and 3 / With Translations and Index for the Series

by Joseph Addison; Sir Richard Steele

He found them all in the latter part of a book of extracts of which he said that the first part was in Marvell's handwriting, 'and the rest copied by his order.' It is very doubtful whether even the first part of the MS. book, containing verse of Marvell's, was really in Marvell's handwriting, and that the part written later was copied by his order, is an unfounded assumption. Captain Thompson said of the MS. book that it was many years in the care of Mr. Nettleton, and communicated to the editor by Mr. Thomas Raikes.—Probably it was Mr. Nettleton who in his youth had added to the book copies of Addison's and Dr. Watts's verses from the

Spectator

, and Mallet's version of the old ballad of William and Margaret, all of which pieces Captain Edward Thompson therefore supposed to have been written by Marvell.

If in a picture, Piso, you should see A handsome woman with a fish's tail, Or a man's head upon a horse's neck, Or limbs of beasts, of the most different kinds, Cover'd with feathers of all sorts of birds; Would you not laugh, and think the painter mad?

Ars Poet. ver. 319.	—When the sentiments and manners please, And all the characters are wrought with ease, Your tale, though void of beauty, force, and art, More strongly shall delight, and warm the heart; Than where a lifeless pomp of verse appears, And with sonorous trifles charms our ears.

[89]	Pers. Sat. v. 64	Pers. From thee both old and young with profit learn The bounds of good and evil to discern. Corn. Unhappy he, who does this work adjourn, And to to-morrow would the search delay: His lazy morrow will be like to-day. Pers. But is one day of ease too much to borrow? Corn. Yes, sure; for yesterday was once to-morrow: That yesterday is gone, and nothing gain'd; And all thy fruitless days will thus be drain'd, For thou hast more to-morrows yet to ask, And wilt be ever to begin thy task; Who, like the hindmost chariot-wheels, are curst, Still to be near, but ne'er to reach the first. (Dryden)

[93]	Hor. 1 Od. xi. 6.	Thy lengthen'd hopes with prudence bound Proportion'd to the flying hour: While thus we talk in careless ease, The envious moments wing their flight; Instant the fleeting pleasure seize, Nor trust to-morrow's doubtful light. (Francis)

Edward and Henry, now the boast of fame, And virtuous Alfred, a more sacred name, After a life of generous toils endured, The Gaul subdued, or property secured, Ambition humbled, mighty cities storm'd, Or laws established, and the world reform'd: Closed their long glories with a sigh to find Th' unwilling gratitude of base mankind.

[161]	Virg. Georg. ii. 527	Himself, in rustic pomp, on holydays, To rural powers a just oblation pays; And on the green his careless limbs displays: The hearth is in the midst: the herdsmen, round The cheerful fire, provoke his health in goblets crown'd. He calls on Bacchus, and propounds the prize, The groom his fellow-groom at buts defies, And bends his bow, and levels with his eyes: Or, stript for wrestling, smears his limbs with oil, And watches with a trip his foe to foil. Such was the life the frugal Sabines led; So Remus and his brother king were bred, From whom th' austere Etrurian virtue rose; And this rude life our homely fathers chose; Old Rome from such a race derived her birth, The seat of empire, and the conquer'd earth. (Dryden)
[162]	Hor. Ars Poet. v. 126.	Keep one consistent plan from end to end.

[167]	Hor. 2 Ep. ii. 128. imitated	There lived in Primo Georgii (they record) A worthy member, no small fool, a lord; Who, though the house was up, delighted sate, Heard, noted, answer'd as in full debate; In all but this, a man of sober life, Fond of his friend, and civil to his wife; Not quite a madman, though a pasty fell, And much too wise to walk into a well. Him the damn'd doctor and his friends immured; They bled, they cupp'd, they purged, in short they cured, Whereat the gentleman began to stare— 'My friends!' he cry'd: 'pox take you for your care! That from a patriot of distinguish'd note, Have bled and purged me to a simple vote. (Pope)

[169]	Ter. Andr. Act i. Sc. 1.	His manner of life was this: to bear with everybody's humours; to comply with the inclinations and pursuits of those he conversed with; to contradict nobody; never to assume a superiority over others. This is the ready way to gain applause without exciting envy.

[173]	Ovid Met. v. 215.	Hence with those monstrous features, and, O! spare That Gorgon's look and petrifying stare. (P.)
[174]	Virg. Ecl. vii. 69	The whole debate in memory I retain, When Thyrsis argued warmly, but in vain. (P.)
[175]	Ovid Rem. Am. v. 625.	To save your house from neighb'ring fire is hard. (Tate)
[176]	Lucr. iv. 1155.	A little, pretty, witty, charming she!
[177]	Juv. Sat. xv. 140	Who can all sense of others' ills escape, Is but a brute, at best, in human shape. (Tate)
[178]	Hor. 2 Ep. ii. 133.	Civil to his wife. (Pope)
[179]	Hor. Ars Poet. v. 341.	Old age is only fond of moral truth, Lectures too grave disgust aspiring youth; But he who blends instruction with delight, Wins every reader, nor in vain shall write. (P.)

[375]	Hor. 4 Od. ix. 45.	We barbarously call them blest, Who are of largest tenements possest, While swelling coffers break their owner's rest. More truly happy those who can Govern that little empire, man; Who spend their treasure freely, as 'twas given By the large bounty of indulgent Heaven; Who, in a fix'd unalterable state, Smile at the doubtful tide of Fate, And scorn alike her friendship and her hate. Who poison less than falsehood fear, Loath to purchase life so dear. (Stepney)

[391]	Pers. Sat. ii. v. 3.	Thou know'st to join No bribe unhallow'd to a prayer of thine; Thine, which can ev'ry ear's full test abide, Nor need be mutter'd to the gods aside! No, thou aloud may'st thy petitions trust! Thou need'st not whisper; other great ones must; For few, my friend, few dare like thee be plain, And prayer's low artifice at shrines disdain. Few from their pious mumblings dare depart, And make profession of their inmost heart. Keep me, indulgent Heaven, through life sincere, Keep my mind sound, my reputation clear. These wishes they can speak, and we can hear. Thus far their wants are audibly exprest; Then sinks the voice, and muttering groans the rest: 'Hear, hear at length, good Hercules, my vow! O chink some pot of gold beneath my plough! Could I, O could I, to my ravish'd eyes, See my rich uncle's pompous funeral rise; Or could I once my ward's cold corpse attend, Then all were mine!'

So march'd the Thracian Amazons of old When Thermedon with bloody billows roll'd; Such troops as these in shining arms were seen, When Theseus met in fight their maiden queen; Such to the field Penthesilea led, From the fierce virgin when the Grecians fled.

[558]	Hor. 1 Sat. i. 1.	Whence is't, Mæcenas, that so few approve The state they're placed in, and incline to rove; Whether against their will by fate imposed, Or by consent and prudent choice espoused? Happy the merchant! the old soldier cries, Broke with fatigues and warlike enterprise. The merchant, when the dreaded hurricane Tosses his wealthy cargo on the main, Applauds the wars and toils of a campaign: There an engagement soon decides your doom, Bravely to die, or come victorious home. The lawyer vows the farmer's life is best, When at the dawn the clients break his rest. The farmer, having put in bail t' appear, And forced to town, cries they are happiest there: With thousands more of this inconstant race, Would tire e'en Fabius to relate each case. Not to detain you longer, pray attend, The issue of all this: Should Jove descend, And grant to every man his rash demand, To run his lengths with a neglectful hand; First, grant the harass'd warrior a release, Bid him to trade, and try the faithless seas, To purchase treasure and declining ease: Next, call the pleader from his learned strife, To the calm blessings of a country life: And with these separate demands dismiss Each suppliant to enjoy the promised bliss: Don't you believe they'd run? Not one will move, Though proffer'd to be happy from above. (Horneck)

[590]	Ovid Met. xv. 179	E'en times are in perpetual flux, and run, Like rivers from their fountains, rolling on. For time, no more than streams, is at a stay; The flying hour is ever on her way: And as the fountains still supply their store, The wave behind impels the wave before; Thus in successive course the minutes run, And urge their predecessor minutes on.
