place_n where_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o a_o mere_a english_a reader_n for_o explanation_n i_o will_v not_o say_v as_o a_o cock_n translator_n do_v of_o lucretius_n and_o virgil_n that_o he_o have_v

one_o and_o as_o much_o as_o ever_o i_o can_v to_o preserve_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o author_n and_o to_o that_o end_n have_v make_v it_o as_o much_o a_o translation_n as_o i_o can_v for_o i_o

because_o the_o modern_a age_n have_v produce_v no_o genius_n like_o they_o the_o imagination_n must_v be_v very_o different_a and_o unequal_a and_o methinks_v such_o poem_n go_v down_o like_o wine_n of_o two_o taste_n some_o by_o paraphrase_v do_v nothing_o but_o beat_v out_o the_o sense_n thin_a as_o gold-beater_n do_v gold._n in_o keep_v close_o to_o my_o author_n i_o be_o force_v to_o make_v my_o period_n sometime_o in_o the_o middle_n of_o line_n contrary_a to_o the_o late_a english_a practice_n and_o i_o have_v always_o choose_v rather_o to_o make_v a_o rough_a verse_n than_o to_o loose_v the_o sense_n of_o juvenal_n though_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v i_o do_v not_o think_v great_a smoothness_n be_v require_v in_o a_o satyr_n which_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o severe_a kind_n of_o

satyr_n some_o be_v necessary_a to_o all_o who_o be_v not_o conversant_a with_o the_o author_n though_o otherwise_o good_a scholar_n and_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o those_o who_o be_v not_o such_o i_o have_v add_v more_o so_o that_o as_o it_o be_v my_o chief_a end_n i_o hope_v i_o have_v make_v the_o original_a clear_o to_o be_v understand_v by_o any_o one_o who_o be_v the_o least_o a_o

his_o satyr_n be_v more_o fit_a for_o declamation_n than_o poem_n i_o think_v they_o not_o worth_a the_o answer_n i_o have_v choose_v this_o satyr_n to_o give_v the_o reader_n as_o a_o sample_n it_o
