After\r\nthis manner you may receive in\r\na few Letters, all that I have said to you about\r\npoetical Translations, and the resemblance there is\r\nbetween Virgil's and Milton's Versification, and\r\nsome other Matters of the same nature.\n\r\nWhoever sits down to translate a Poet, ought in\r\nthe first place to consider his Author's peculiar Stile;\r\nfor without this, tho' the Translation may be very\r\ngood in all other respects, it will hardly deserve the\r\nName of a Translation.\n\r\nThe two great Men amongst the Antients differ\r\nfrom each other as much in this particular as in the\r\nSubjects they treat of. The Stile of Homer, who\r\nsings the Anger or Rage of Achilles, is rapid.[page2]\r\nThe Stile of Virgil, who celebrates the Piety of neas,\r\nis majestick. But it may be proper to explain\r\nin what this Difference consists.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 17548 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Benson, William \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 18, 2006 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Benson, William,1682-1754 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43217468653725,"sku":"gb-17548-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/17548.jpg?v=1671433174","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/letters-concerning-poetical-translations-gb-17548","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
