[74] Ib. i. 32-40.
[75] Contrast him with Manilius, or with Ovid in the last book of the _Metamorphoses_, or with the author of _Etna_. The difference is immense.
[76] Lu. ii. 371.
[77] Ib. v. 18.
[78] Ib. Ib. v. 3.
[79] Ib. _apatheia_.
[80] Ib. v. 1201, _sqq._
[81] The pa.s.sage in which they are described is perhaps the most beautiful in Latin poetry, iii. 18, _sqq._ Cf. ii. 644.
[82] _E.g. omoiomepeia_, and various terms of endearment, iv. 1154-63.
[83] S. i. 10.
[84] _E.g._ frequently in Juvenal.
[85] _E.g. terrai frugiferai: lumina sis oculis: indugredi, volta, vacefit, facie are_ on the a.n.a.logy of Ennius's _cere comminuit brum, salsae lacrimae_, &c.
[86] See Appendix.
[87] Besides the pa.s.sages quoted or referred to, the following throw light upon his opinions or genius. The introduction (i. 1-55), the attack on mythology (ii, 161-181, 591-650); that on the fear of death (iii. 943- 983), the account of the progress of the arts (v. 1358-1408), and the recommendation of a calm mind (v. 56-77).
[88] _E.g. quocirca, quandoquidem, id ita esse, quod superest, Huc accedit ut_, &c.
[89] Lu. i. 914.
[90] Qu. x. 1, 87.
[91] Ov. Am. i. 15, 23; Stat. Silv. ii. 7, 76.
[92] Hor. _Deos didici securum agere aerom_, S. i. v. 101.
[93] Georg. ii. 490. Connington in his edition of Virgil, points out hundreds of imitations of his diction.
[94] Tac. Ann. lv. 34.
[95] We cannot certainly gather that Furius was alive when Horace wrote Sat. ii. 5, 40,
"Furius hibernas cana nive conspuit Alpes."
[96] S. i. x. 36.
[97] See Virg. Aen. iv. 585; xii. 228; xi. 73l.
[98] Hor. S. i. x. 46, _experto frustra Varrone Atacino_.
[99] Ov. Am. i. xv. 21; Ep. ex. Pont. iv. xvi. 21.
[100] Qu. x. 1, 87.
[101] Trist. ii. 439. For some specimens of his manner see App. to chap.
i. note 3.
[102] Ecl. ix. 35.
[103] Told by Ovid (_Metam._ bk. x.).
[104] Cat. xc. 1.
[105] Cic. (_Brut._) lx.x.xii. 283.

[108] C. xxv.
[109] C. i.
[110] C. xlix.
[111] C. xciii. lvii. xxix.
[112] What a different character does this reveal from that of the Augustan poets! Compare the sentiment in C. xcii.:
"Nil nimium studeo Caesar tibi velle placere Nec scire utrum sis albus an ater h.o.m.o."
[113] For the character of Clodia, see Cic. pro Cael. _pa.s.sim_; and for her criminal pa.s.sion for her brother, compare Cat. lxxix., which is only intelligible if so understood. Cf. also lviii. xci. lxxvi.
[114] The beautiful and pathetic poem (C. lxxvi.) in which he expresses his longing for peace of mind suggests this remark.
[115] C. lxv. and lxviii.
[116] C. x.x.xi.
[117] Compare, however, Lucr. iii. 606-8.
