  Till banish'd DÃ�DALUS Protection sought, _There_ well receiv'd, the stricter Rules he taught; Their _Arts_, their _Sciences_, were learn'd in Schools, And all their _Precepts_ were confin'd to Rules. } With such gay Structures, why do they begin Such _Glare_ of Ornament to usher in?

summary:
  Old friend, although the tearless Pluto you may strive to please, And seek each year with thrice one hundred bullocks to appease, Who keeps the thrice-huge Geryon and Tityus his slaves, Imprisoned fast forevermore with cold and sombre waves, Yet must that flood so terrible be sailed by mortals all; Whether perchance we may be kings and live in royal hall, Or lowly peasants struggling long with poverty and dearth, Still must we cross who live upon the favors of the earth. But sometime we shall meet again Beside Digentia, cool and clear,-- You and we twain, old friend; and then We'll have our fill of pagan cheer.

  True men and thieves Neglected Justice oft confounds. Naked the Nymphs and Graces in the meads The dance essay: No 'scaping death proclaims the year, that speeds This sweet spring day.

  T_he monument I build, to men endeared_, N_ot biting rain, nor raging wind, nor time_, E_ndlessly flowing through the countless years_, S_hall e'er destroy. S_cant were their private means, the public, great_; 'T_was still a commonwealth, that State_; N_o portico, surveyed with private rule_, A_ssured one man the shady cool_.

  But this and that are different: some stern judge My military rank with cause might grudge, But not your friendship, studious as you've been To choose good men, not pushing, base, or mean. When good men lack, the price of friends is low.

  Thus do my wasted days slip by, Not without many a wish and sigh, When, when shall I the country see, Its woodlands green,--oh, when be free, With books of great old men, and sleep, And hours of dreamy ease, to creep Into oblivion sweet of life, Its agitations and its strife? Popular credulity ascribed divine honours to great men; and this was the natural growth of a religious system in which a variety of gods and demigods played so large a part.

  Of whatever rank I am, though below the estate and wit of Lucilius, yet envy must be obliged to own that I have lived well with great men; and, wanting to fasten her tooth upon some weak part, will strike it against the solid: unless you, learned Trebatius, disapprove of any thing _That a life of business is preferable to a private and inactive one; the friendship of great men is a laudable acquisition, yet their favors are ever to be solicited with modesty and caution_.
