To read this Ode as if Horace was thinking of a flesh and blood " mistress '-'• is absurd. Verrall describes it as a poem of love " in the same sense that the ber genes of porcelain are pictures of love," but is it not more than that ? We may read a meaning into the mention of the man blameless in life and free from sin, of the man also of javelins and arrows (III. 20, 9), and into the allusion ', to the wolf (I. II, II. 11) which precipitately flees from an un- ' armed man, that has not been b...rought into prominence. Cf. the irony of Epist. I. 16. 3. Fuscus : cf. Epist. I. 10, and Sat. I. 9. We know nothing of him except from Horace : the scholiasts describe him as a writer — of tragedy (Acron) : of comedy (Porphyrion). XXIII TO CHLOE You shun me, Chloe, like a fawn, Seeking ifa timid dam in pathless mountains With vain affright At breezes and the woods — For if the approach of Spring hath shivered through 5 The quivering leaves, or greenish lizards stir The bramble-bush, so trembles it In heart and knees.
