Horace, in a well-known passage, had congratulated himself upon this disease as upon a trophy of philosophic emancipation: 'Nullius addictus jurare in verba magistri, Quo me cunque rapit tempestas, deferor liospes: which words Pope thus translates, and applies to himself in his English adaptation of this epistle:
