Abstract
Here are printed for the first time four Horatian verse translations or imitations by William Parsons ( fl. 1785–1824) with a further item by William Boscawen (1752–1811), from the two Bodleian manuscripts in which they are apparently uniquely extant. The Horatian poems involved are Odes 1.1, 1.22, and 1.30; Epist. 1.4. The appeal of these sophisticated and playful compositions lies partly in their off-the-record character, with frequent satirical flavouring.
