“One life, that owned her sway.
“And now, forsooth, I’m bidden
“To save myself in flight.”

There are many other parodies of Horatius possessing less general interest than those already quoted.
As most of them are very long, only a few verses of each will be given, sufficient to indicate the subject, and style of treatment. As the source from whence each is derived will be named, the complete parodies can easily be obtained.
It will be noticed that the last four or five verses of Horatius have been especially favoured by the parodists.
