Horace's 'Epistle 1.16.' (poem by ancient Latin poet)
The Explicator
; Horace's Epistle 1.16 is a poem of peculiarities, so many, perhaps, that Fraenkel chose to ignore it completely in his monumental work. To begin with, we don't know who Quinctius is, in the very first line, and Horace does not thereafter enlighten us. It is devoid of the usual Horatian touches of

Pope's the sixth Eptistle of the first book of Horace imitated.(Critical Essay)
The Explicator
; Pope begins his Epistle I.vi. (1738) by quoting Thomas Creech's translation of Horace. He does so, as his parenthetical comment (lines 3-4) makes clear, because plain truth ought to be plainly stated: a thought so clearly expressed by Horace needs no reinterpreting, only translating. Yet throughout
