SAPPHICS.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—The accompanying Sapphics are, I venture to think, worthy of insertion. They are, I believe, part of an original copy of verses by an Eton boy, on Virgil:- Virgili
Publi Maro, tu patrasti Splendidos versus ; hominesque dicunt Tu quod es cunctis melior poetis, Praeter Homerum.
Tu deeem pulchras Eclogas patrasti, Quatuor Hbros quoque Georgicorum, Tu quoque Aenein, nitidum poema, Composnisti.
