This epitaph, if two words are changed Hispanae into hostilis, and Gaston into Georges describes perfectly the short and admirable career of Guynemer. Even the palms are included: Fortunate heros! moriendo in saecula vives.
Of the like kind may be reckoned another stanza in the same book: Jussa coram non sine conscio Surgit marito, seu vocat institor, Seu navis Hispanae magister, Dedecorum pretiosus emptor. HOR. Lib. iii. Ode. vi. 29. The conscious husband bids her rise, When some rich factor courts her charms, Who calls the wanton to his arms, And, prodigal of wealth and fame, Profusely buys the costly shame.
