READINGS IN LATIN. IX, 



JUVENAL. 



D. JUNIUS JUVENALIS, the greatest of the satirists of Borne, 

 or indeed of any other country, was a contemporary of the 

 Emperor Domitian ; he is said to have been born about A.D. 48 

 and died 128. He lived at a time when all aorta of rice and 

 corruption ran riot in Borne, and he has depicted the faults of 

 his age with no sparing hand. Horace, who was a sufficiently 

 keen satirist, nowhere approaches Juvenal in the unflinching 

 severity with which ho attacked the vicea which he saw around 

 him. His writings are frequently obscure, owing to the diffi- 

 culty we have in understanding the various allusions he makes 

 to people of the day, of whom we know little or nothing, but 

 his style is eminently pure and finished. Sixteen of his satires 

 are all that have come down to us of his writings ; the metro is 

 hexameter, but, as is usual in writings of this sort, not bound 

 down by the fixed rules which obtain in epic or didactic poetry. 

 In the first extract the poet states the range which he pro- 

 poses to himself to take : 



JUVENA.L. "SAT.," I. 81116. 

 Ex quo Deucalion, nimbis tollentibus zequor, 

 Navigio montem ascendit sortesquo poposcit, 

 Paulatimque anima caluerunt mollia saxa 

 Et maribus nudas ostendit Pyrrha puellas, 

 Quidquid agunt homines, votum, timer, ira, voluptaa, 85 

 Gaudia, discursus, nostri est farrago libelli. 

 Et quando uberior vitiorum copia ? quando 

 Major avaritiae patuit sinus ? alca quando 

 Hoa animos ? Neque euim loculis comitantibua itur 

 Ad casuin tabulae, posita sed luditur area. 90 



Prcolia quanta illic dispensatore videbis 

 Armigero ! Simplcxne furor, sestcrtia centum 

 Perdere, et horrenti tunicam non reddere servo ? 

 Quis totidem erexit villa". ? quis fercula septem 

 Secreto ccenavit avus ? Nunc sportula primo 95 



Limine parva sedet, turbae rapicnda togatae. 

 Ille tamen faciem prius inspicit et trepidat, ne 

 Suppositus venias ac falso nomine poscas. 

 Agnitus accipies. Jubet a praecono vocari 

 Ipsos Trojugenas : nam vexant limcn et ipsi 100 



Nobiscum. Da prcetori, da deinde tribuno ! 

 Sed libertinus prior est. Prior, inquit, ego adsum. 

 Cur timeam dubitemve locum defendere, quamvis 

 Natus ad Euphraten, molles quod in aure fenestra 

 Arguerint, licet ipse negemf Sed quinque taJbernat 105 

 Quadringenta par ant. Quid confert purpura major 

 Optandum, si Laurcnti custodit in agro 

 Conductas Corvinus oves ? Ego possideo plus 

 Pallante et Licints. Exspectent ergo tribuni ; 

 Vincant divitiae ; sacro nee cedat honori, 110 



Nuper in hano urbem pedibua qni venerat albia ; 

 Quandoquidem inter nos sanctissima Divitiarum 

 Majestas : etsi fnnesta Pecunia templo 

 Nondum habitas, nullaa nummornm ereximus aras, 

 Ut colitur Pax atque Fides, Victoria, Virtus, 115 



Quajque salutato crepitat Concordia nido.
