HORACE AND HIS GARDEN.
The Poet Loved the Country, Yet Mopct
When He Was There,

All his life Horace had wished for q
piece of land which contained garden,
stream and 4 coppice, and in the Sa-
binc valley he found all three. To take
Il nap after his brief meal on the grass
by the stream was to him that exquisite
combination of mental and physical ease
which man is foolish to despise because
1t Is an enjoyment within the reach
of every other animal as well rs of him
self. Horace clearly considered both his
Sabine farm and his villa at .iibur
healthier than the capital, especially in
the autumn, when all fathers and
mothers turn pale with fear for their
children. 1t may be doubted if Rome
was so exempt from malarial fever at
that time as it is generally thought TO
have been. Once. when he had promised
M1cenas to be away only five days, he
remained at Thur through all the month
Of August, and he begs his dear
friend, If he would have him keep
well, to le. him stay yet longer. and
even pass the winter out of Rome by the
seaside Che was probably thinking of
Tareutum).
Yet was not there spice of truth in
the taunt which his servant Davus ad-
dressed TO the poet, that when lie had
been too long in the country he moped
to death: We are almost invited to sus-
pect that there was; the town WAS, after
all. the life of his life. One may be sure,
by the bye, that the worthy DayuS him
self hated seclusion rs much as any Ital
ian savant does today. Thur he may
have endured: there lie could gossip
with the servants Of other villas, but at
the Sabine farm with whom could he
have due chiacchiere except with the
Observation-Disclosures martyr: BY immortal
izing the amusing criticism of Davus,
Horace shows that he was the first to OBJ.
