| 'Certainly my dear sir ' said I 'that is I mean Horace and my uncle are perfectly right Still there is an instructed ear and an uninstructed A rude taste for identical recurrences would exact sing song from Paradise Lost and grumble because Il Penseroso doesn't run like a nursery rhyme ' 'Well well ' said my uncle 'sunt certi denique fines no doubt So commence my young Piso while Aristarchus is tolerably wakeful and do not waste by your logic the fund you will want for your poetry ' | - |
