Autobiographical Notes by Horace
Maecenas offers no fortune of mine to you; the best Virgil and after this Varius they say which might be. And I came unto you, with little said separately (for modesty prohibited most from speaking out), I have not said I clarify father must be done with zeal but I told which I was. You respond, so that your habit is little. I depart and after nine months, you call me back and order me to be in friendly number. I lead to be this great man, the fact that I satisfied you, which you separate good from the bad not the evident father but life and pure heart.
