CONSOLATIONS


of


SOLITUDE.


Os tenerum pueri balbumque poeta figurat;
Torquet ab obscenis jam nunc sermonibus aurem
Mox etiam pectus præceptis format amicis;
Asperitatis et invidiæ corrector et iræ;
Recte facta refert, orientia tempora notis
Instruit exemplis; inopem solatur et ægrum.
Q. Horatii Epist. prim. ad Augustum.



BOSTON:

JOHN P. JEWETT & COMPANY.
