Excerpt from First Book of the Iliad; Battle of the Frogs and Mice; Hymn to the Delian Apollo; Bacchus, or the Rovers; Second Book of the Iliad But to come closer to the question, - I hoped that to a fidelity equal to the most scrupulous of my predecessors, I might be found to unite a cer tain degree of vigour, and to atone for a defect of, poetical merit by conciseness and perspicuity. When I Speak of fidelity, however, let it be ob served, in justice to myself, that I carry the import of this word somewhat further than is usually done.
