The Works of Horace, with English Notes / Twentieth Edition
Carmina, satirae, epistulae et Ars Poetica Quinti Horatii Flacci hac in editione una colliguntur, doctis A. J. Macleane notis Anglicis instructa atque a Reginaldo H. Chase recognita. Libri quattuor Carminum, Carmen Saeculare, Epodon liber, Satirarum libri duo, Epistularum libri duo necnon Epistula ad Pisones ordine disponuntur. Praemittitur Vita poetae, quae narrat eum Venusiae libertino patre natum, Athenis eruditum, sub Bruto ad Philippos militasse, mox Maecenatis amicitia receptum carminibus inclaruisse. Notae singulis operibus subiectae verba difficiliora et metra explicant.
In his paginis lector et lyricae suavitatem et sermonum acumen et epistularum sapientiam invenit. Horatius de amicitia, de modo tenendo, de fugacitate temporis, de virtute ac voluptate canit, illud "aurea mediocritas" et "carpe diem" memorabili brevitate exprimens. Eius ingenium, quo gravia leviter, levia graviter tractat, hoc opus per saecula vivum servavit. Adnotationes eruditae tironi viam ad antiquam Romam intellegendam aperiunt, ut non solum verba sed etiam mores et iudicia poetae percipiantur.
