Updated: June 5, 2025

If you love Latin, I will repeat you some fine lines out of Horace, which would inspire courage into a coward. `Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori Mors et fugacem persequitur virum Nec parcit imbellis juventae Poplitibus, timidoque tergo." "I wish you would construe them," cries Partridge; "for Horace is a hard author, and I cannot understand as you repeat them."
