"Horace still charms with graceful negligence, And without method talks us into sense,

Will, like a friend, familiarly convey

The truest notions in the easiest way.

He who, supreme in judgment as in wit,
Might boldly censure, as he boldly writ,
Yet judg'd with coolness, tho' he sang with fire;
His Precepts teach but what his works inspire.".

-POPE.
