HORACE,

Sirnamed Flaccus, Native of Venusian a Town in Apulia, a Lyrick Poet, and intimate Friend of Maecenas, a great Lo∣ver of Learned Men. He has left us four Books of admirable Odes, wherefore the Ro∣mans have no occasion to envy the Greeks Pindar; besides a Book of Epods, two Satyrs, and several Epistles, with a learned Treatise of the Art of Poetry, which have made him famous to posterity. He died the 57th year of his age, and 746 after the foundation of Rome.

There were also three Brothers of that name, who fought for the Roman Liberty, with three Brothers call'd Curiatii, of the City of Alba, the Inhabitants whereof pre∣tended to the Soveraign Power. Two of the Horace's lost their Lives in the fight; but the third who remain'd alive, himself kill'd the three Guriatii, and thus the Inhabitants of Alba became Subjects to the Romans. Horace came victorious to Rome, and was receiv'd with the Acclamations of the people; but he blasted his Victory by the death of his Sister, who was to marry one of the Curiatii, not being able to bear the reproachful words of an angry Maid for the death of her Lover.
