BUTLER & TANNER, THE SELwooD PRINTING WORKS, FROME, AND LONDON. PRE FA CE. SOME thousands of verses, attributed by Athenaeus, Stobaeus, and others who have preserved them, to the many poets of the Old, the Middle, and the New Comedy, never come within the range of school reading in this country. But many of them are extremely witty; and as they represent the best periods of the Attic language and stage, viz. from the age of Pericles till some time after the death of Alexander the Great, the neglect of them is a weak point in our classical educa- tion. To bring a selection from them to the notice of English readers is almost like the opening of a new mine, or restoring to cultivation land that has been long lying WaSte. -- Of these poets, Antiphanes, of the “Middle,” and Menander, of the “New,” seem to have been most famous. From the latter especially Plautus and Terence were indebted for not a few of their plays. More than seven hundred “monostichs,” or single verses, alphabeti- cally arranged, have come down to us under the name of Menander, though not all of them are genuine. Wr vi AA’A. FA CAE. We have in this interesting collection of the Comic fragments from the writings of about one hundred and fifty poets, a combination of the wise, the witty, the satirical, the sententious, the epigrammatic ; and the application of some of them to the circumstances of our own times is striking. In translating them, the employ- ment of rhyme makes the exact rendering often im- possible; but the general spirit is preserved, while the claims of English readers rather than of classical scholars have been consulted. The “Old Comedy,” of which Aristophanes is the chief representative, had this great fault, that it revelled in immorality and made sport of depravity. The influence of the Socratic teaching, and the schools of Sophists and philosophers, did much to correct this terrible abuse, by which the Comic stage had become an incentive to unrestrained vice. It is to the credit of Menander and the New Comedy that it rarely offends. The edition used in making these extracts is the Editio Minor of the “Fragmenta Comicorum Graecorum,” by Augustus Meineke, in two octavo volumes, together containing some I,3OO pages (Berlin, 1847). To these reference is made by the figures, the marginal number of the fragment being subjoined to each extract, but not that of the drama from which it was taken, and which is supplied in Meineke's edition. It is well to repeat, that the translations here given FA’AºA'A CAE. vii were made mainly with the view of introducing a school of Attic wit, by no means familiar even to scholars, to ordinary English readers. Hence the “point” is attended to rather than the form of expression, and some of the pieces may justly be regarded in the light of a para- phrase rather than as a translation, properly so called. Nevertheless, as the Publishers have decided to print along with them the Greek text, which is almost identical with that of Meineke, it is hoped that translations in rhyming verse will be found near enough to give a ready help in correctly interpreting the original. And the Greek text, it is believed, will be judged to have an inde- pendent value for more advanced students, as a selection, if only a small one, from a form of Attic poetry of the best age, which is in the hands of very few, and which appears indeed to be practically unknown in English classical courses, though it might with great advantage be allowed its proper place in them. Why should Aristophanes be read in the schools while Menander is wholly neglected P Such a selection, perfectly unob- jectionable in morality, not difficult as a lesson in Greek, and highly entertaining in itself, assuredly would form a valuable enlargement of the Subjects now commonly recommended and set by Lecturers. This little book therefore is intended alike for the School-room and the Drawing-room. It is hoped it may find its way into both. C O N T E N T S.

Little know you what pleasure it doth give Free from town-cares on one's own farm to live ; For plough and wain two little steers to keep, To hear the voices of the bleating sheep Or sound of must that gurgles from the vat, Then sup on Ortolans and thrushes fat; Nor wait till flabby fish, some three days old, The market sends, at thrice its value sold By weight that's guessed at in the salesman's hand, And heavier made than when it came to land.

YoUR poets are mere fools, for nothing new Can they devise; they merely change the view. Now in the fishmonger, if rogue he be, And rogue he is, -there’s true philosophy. The law prohibits “watering of fish”; But one to watch them drying did not wish. So “Here’s a fight !” the clever rascal bawls; In the sham shindy one man fainting falls Just where the fish lay. “Water, water, here ! Help, help ! he's dying of a wound severe !” A shopman in the trick has pitcher ready, And promptly pours a deluge long and steady. The wounded man gets just the smallest dash; Down on the slab the torrent falls full splash, And makes once more the dull, dry fish to shine, As if they just had left their native brine. 90 AAZZAZA/OAV.

'T is not as if this fox in craft were great, This slow, that sharp, all varying in rate: Put thirty thousand foxes in one spot, You won't find some have cunning, some have not. But in the human race one always finds As many bodies, just so many minds. MAN of all creatures far most wretched is ; Right reasoning proves it: all the world is his, And all its produce ; yet to toil and slave, While other creatures free subsistence have, And kindly earth will yield them all they ask For their own needs, is his unceasing task. 94 AA/NZAZMOAV.

Perhaps, as by man alone the earth is teased, She takes this way of showing she's displeased. By their own fault men often make bad worse Than Nature left it. In that solemn hearse A son or mother's carried to the grave, Some friend, the dearest relative we have. If one but said, “A man is born to die,” His tears, resigned and patient, he would dry. But if he frantic cries, “All joys are past ! My life is gone ! This sight of him's the last !” Let him think well; these griefs are his own making; He makes bad worse by good and bad mistaking.

Thus modest means, with life devoid of care, Are better far than with the rich to share Wealth's high estate, with all its plagues and pains. Your poor man's evils may to him be gains.

No doubt, your first desire is for wealth ; Well ! there are ways to riches, wisdom, health. Buy this, learn that, take food that suits: from grief Alone, alas ! you cannot find relief. Not only thwarted hope our patience tries, Our very blessings bring anxieties. YOUNG man, look round you, and mark well, I pray, How each thing suffers by its own decay. Rust spoils the iron, moths your garments fret, E’en grubs destroy the timber they beset. So envy, that worst canker, saps the heart Diseased, and makes it play the low-bred 1 part. It kills, a secret prowler on Our peace, Has ever killed, to kill will never cease. * Reading Övo’yevils for Övage6'ſs, “godless” or “impious,” the point of which is not clear.

I was a pupil of Soterides; King Nicomedes 1 he first learnt to please, Who longed for fish when no fish could be had ; The sea was miles away, the season bad, Yet he would dine off whiting ! So at table Whiting to serve that cunning chef proved able. “What, z/iting 2" cried the guests. How did he do it? He got a juicy turnip, and to stew it In long thin strips, cut into shape like fish, With salt and oil, essayed, twelve to the dish. Thus served, in black-seeds of the poppy drenched, That Scythian passion for “fresh fish” it quenched, King Nicomedes and his friends inviting To praise the flavour of a turnip-whiting !
