THE POET HORACE CONTEMPLATES AN INVITATION
             Maecenas et Vergilius me hodie vocant. Quid cogitare debeo? Quid debeo respondere? Si erro, me saepe monent et culpant; si non erro, me laudant. Quid hodie cogitare debeo?
             Maecenas and Virgil are calling me today. What ought I to think? How should I respond? If I make a mistake, they often warn and blame me; if I do not err, they praise me. What ought I to think today?
