To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
349 — 351) he npt only identifies his present naked self with the late Palinurus," a living soul clothed with flesh and bones, but, after des- cribing his own violent death by the hands of mistaken wreckers, he persists in saying " Nunc me fluctus habet, versantque in littore venti." I hope these metaphysical scrapes will have an interest for some readers who, like myself, had not common patience with a man so averse to the trials of Uncleship that he is reported to have said "He'd hang first, ..." and to have been as good as his word." And what of Horace? Is /;? altogether guiltless of jumblement in Book i. Od. 28, where the ghost of Archytas implores a Jack Tar, in formd pauperis, to come " down with his dust," on the hackneyed ground that "his honour would not be any poorer?" Read the Ode, (I have no time, E. R. to translate that atzd the Homer, if either) and you will see that this shady Dramatis Persona, though evidently /isTEwpos or "afloat," says "me quoque devexi rapidus comes Ononis Illyricis notus obruit undis " — and that too after talking in the Pythagorean strain — "nihil ultra nei-vos atque cutem morti concesserat atrse." In fact, it would be no easy matter for a writer of any creed to make a disembodied spirit talk quite consistently on all occasions : and accordingly you may notice that our modern spiritualists, who listen in rapping and wrapt attention to departed parties, allow a vride margin for scotographicaj errors ; and strongly insist upon it that we must expect these good souls to "blunder on" even in the other world!
