Jong before the existence of the Sylva Critica, or the Tragœdiarum Esteeming every atom of information, which tends to give us cor- The verse from Ovid's Art. Am. II, 659, is diseased: it occurs in a passage which is evidently borrowed from Lucret, IV, 1153, who also is much indebted to Plato, Polit. T. II, p. 474, ed. Steph. transcribed by Plutarch V. II, p. 474, [V. II. p. 48. ed. Bryan] and imitated by Th.Idyl. X, 26, &c. and is read, according to the majority of editions, Si pæta est, Veneri similis: si flava, Minervæ. The more early editions-Si crasia, și parva: Pæta, as well as flava, is itself an hypocorism: Strabonem Appellat pætum pater'-Hor. and consequently inadmissible here. Crassa and parva are too degrading: this impropriety did not elude N. Heinsius, who is hailed by RUHNKENIUS, Poëtarum Latinorum sospitator:' he very happily restored from MSS.-Si qua Straba est, Veneri similis, si RAVA Minervæ :-Pseudo-Petron. Satyric. c. lxviii. Si strabosus est, non curo: sicut Vepus, spectat.' This emendation Larcher (Mem. sur Venus, p. 131.) applauds, not recollecting that Bentley, ad Hor. Serm. I, iii, 47, had reinstated the original reading, without violating the metre- Si straba sit.'-On the authority of the preceding verse, we once suspected that Met. IV, 130, ought to be read-Doluit successu RAVA virago, instead of flava, and that the Homeric epithet av tended to establish it. On second thoughts, we abandon the conjecture, as totally unnecessary. Mr. Knight, in his Anal. Essay on the Gr. Alph. p. 30. (1) pronounces the Margites to have been a forgery; because in one of the three lines quoted as authentic by Plato (Alcib. II. p. 457.) and Aristotle (He. Evda. V. c. 7.) and mentioned Poët. (p. 12. 1. 2. Tyrwh.) we have a compound verb with the augment upon the preposition (zirate); which Homer's grammar did not admit. RICH. BENTLEY, however, in his answer to Middleton, p. 28. does away the objection to the former part of the line by quoting Ὃς μὲν ἐπίστατο πολλά, BENTLEY's Pref. to his Answer to Boyle, XCI. 12 Elogium T.

Brunck, perceiving the inconsistency which had escaped Wyttenbach, of a Pagan, closed in this fading vesture of decay,' praying for immortality, adopted sibavarías, which is warranted by a MS. and illustrates it very neatly by a passage from Suetonius, in vit.

Nam fere quoties audisset, cito ac nullo cruciatu defunctum quempiam, sibi et suis rúðuracíar similem (hoc enim et verbo uti solebat) precabatur. What he next alleges in favour of the emendation might have been spared; viz. in comicis senariis primam semper corripiunt adávates, alavaría,' quam producunt ob metri necessitatem epici poëtæ 11So would I live, such gradual death to find, Like timely fruit, not shaken by the wind, But ripely dropping from the sapless bough; And, dying, nothing to myself would owe. 13 Dryden. 34 In Aristoph.
