The Maecenas atauis edite regibus was the opening dedication, and the thirtieth ode of Book III. was an envoi^ intended to bid lyric poetry farewell. No historical allusion in the three books has been convincingly referred to a later date than 23.3 The ode to the ship carrying Virgil to Greece need ' Sat., II. ii. 102, sqq. " Sat, II. vii. 83— " Quisnam igitur liber ? Sapiens sibi qui impenosus, Quem neque pauperies neque mors neque uincula terrent, Responsare cupidinibus, contemnere honores Fo...rtis, et in se ipso totus teres atque rotundus." 3 The outstanding historical allusions are grouped under their years as bearing on the chronology, in Nettleship's Lects. and Essays, 1885, pp. 159 sqq. Od. II. ix. is one of the crucial odes ; its " new trophies of Augustus " can refer quite as appropriately to 27 B.C. as to the recovery of the standards from the Parthians in 20. With Franke's Fasti Hor,, 1837, should be compared W. Christ, Fastorum Horat. Epicrisis, 1877, besides Wickham's Introd.
