"I like Boileau," replied the prince, "as a necessary scourge, which one can pit against the bad taste of second-rate authors. His satires, of too personal, a nature, and consequently iniquitous, do not please me. He knows it, and, despite himself, he will amend this. He is at work upon an 'Ars Poetica, after the manner of Horace.
To Gammer Gurton if it give the bays, And yet deny The Careless Husband praise, Or say our fathers never broke a rule; Why then, I say, the public is a fool. See ante, April 6, 1775.

Persius in a later age studied him with care, and tried to reproduce his style, but with such a signal want of success that in every passage where he imitates, he caricatures his master. He has, however, left us an appreciative and beautiful criticism on the Horatian method. It has often been supposed that the Ars Poetica was writen in the hope of regenerating the drama.
He wrote more than 30 dramatic pieces, of which the best known are The Jealous Wife , and The Clandestine Marriage . C. was also manager and part proprietor of various theatres.

Some tablets in the pockets, scrawled over with wild, incoherent verses, gave a clew to the discovery of the dead man's friends: and, exposed at the Morgue, in that bleached and altered clay, De Montaigne recognized the remains of Castruccio Cesarini. "He died and made no sign!" SINGULA quaeque locum teneant sortita.* HORACE: Ars Poetica. * "To each lot its appropriate place."

And this, the judicious HORACE clearly speaks of, in his Arte Poetica; where he says Non tamen intus Digna geri, promes in scenam: multaque tolles Ex oculis, quae mox narret facundia praesens.
One of them, generally known as the "Ars Poetica," was perhaps left unfinished at his death. In his youth Horace had been an aristocrat, but his choice of sides was perhaps more the result of accident than of conviction, and he afterward acquiesced without great difficulty in the imperial government.
The following is a list of the works of Aristotle: ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS Edited by T Taylor, with Porphyry's Introduction, 9 vols, 1812, under editorship of J A Smith and W D Ross, II vols, 1908-31, Loeb editions Ethica, Rhetorica, Poetica, Physica, Politica, Metaphysica, 1926-33 Historia Animalium Schneider, 1812, Aubert and Wimmer, 1860; Dittmeyer, 1907
