Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fifty Select Poems of Marc-Antonio Flaminio, Imitated by the Late Reverend Edward William Barnard; M. An; Of Trinity College, Cambridge: With a Short Memoir of the Author Of the subjoined Poems a specimen has been approved by the exquisite taste of Lord Grenville, himself an accomplished poet; who has also revived, and sanctioned, the fame of the original Author, by calling him (in the Preface to his classical Nugæ Metricæ) his "favourite Flaminius." They would have sooner made their appearance, had I not vainly awaited the result of inquiries instituted in almost every part of the Continent for a copy of the Padua edition of Flaminio´s Works; from which I hoped, with little expense of time, to derive materials for enlarging the prefixed Memoir. Even without such assistance, however, the Translations, I trust, will be regarded as no unworthy Monument to the memories of two kindred and similarly-gifted minds. Non quia intercedendum putem imaginibus, qua marmore aut ære finguntur; sed, ut vultus hominum, ita simulacra vultus imbecilla et mortalia sunt: forma mentis æterna. (Tac. Vit. Agric. 46.) And the orphans of Mr. Barnard, now happily almost unconscious of their irreparable loss, will one day thank their grandfather for having thus asserted the claim of their parent, whom he will never cease to regret, to no mean station among the poets of his country. It was my first purpose to have dedicated the Volume to One of the noblest and most munificent of men, the Earl Fitzwilliam, as an evidence of talents and attainments, which it was his Lordship´s generous intention to have patronised: but, on farther reflexion, it was thought more correct to preserve it´s monumental character, even in the Inscription.
