	JUVENALIS, DECIMUS JUNIUS. THE SATIRES Translated into English Verse by Mr Dryden and Several other Eminent Hands. Together with the Satires of Aulus Persius Flacccus. Made English by Mr Dryden.

ODNB ‘... In October 1692 Tonson published The Satires of Decimus Junius Juvenalis … [and] Aulus Persius Flaccus (dated 1693), which assembled a complete translation of Juvenal's satires by various hands (numbers 1, 3, 6, 10, and 16 being by Dryden himself, 7 by his son Charles, and 14 by his son John), a complete translation of Persius by Dryden alone, and a substantial preface, the ‘Discourse concerning the original and progress of satire’, in which Dryden presented a history of the genre, a critique of its principal Latin practitioners, and reflections on its modern use. While these were translations rather than imitations, and generally preserved the original Roman allusions, there are a number of turns of phrase which reflect satirically on William III. Doubtless both the tragic pessimism of Juvenal's tenth satire, and Persius's Stoicism in the face of Neronian terror, had a contemporary resonance for him. No reader of Juvenal's third satire could avoid hearing the translator's voice in these lines: Since Noble Arts in Rome have no support, / And ragged Virtue not a friend at Court, / No Profit rises from th' ungrateful Stage, / My Poverty encreasing with my Age, / 'Tis time to give my just Disdain a vent, / And, Cursing, leave so base a Government. (ll. 39–44) ...’ GBP 400.00 [Appr.: EURO 443.75 US$ 664.4 \| JP¥ 58697] Book number: 193276 Click here to order or inquire at Francis Edwards Booksellers.

ODNB ‘... In October 1692 Tonson published The Satires of Decimus Junius Juvenalis … [and] Aulus Persius Flaccus (dated 1693), which assembled a complete translation of Juvenal's satires by various hands (numbers 1, 3, 6, 10, and 16 being by Dryden himself, 7 by his son Charles, and 14 by his son John), a complete translation of Persius by Dryden alone, and a substantial preface, the ‘Discourse concerning the original and progress of satire’, in which Dryden presented a history of the genre, a critique of its principal Latin practitioners, and reflections on its modern use. While these were translations rather than imitations, and generally preserved the original Roman allusions, there are a number of turns of phrase which reflect satirically on William III. Doubtless both the tragic pessimism of Juvenal's tenth satire, and Persius's Stoicism in the face of Neronian terror, had a contemporary resonance for him. No reader of Juvenal's third satire could avoid hearing the translator's voice in these lines: Since Noble Arts in Rome have no support, / And ragged Virtue not a friend at Court, / No Profit rises from th' ungrateful Stage, / My Poverty encreasing with my Age, / 'Tis time to give my just Disdain a vent, / And, Cursing, leave so base a Government.
