A WELL-KNOWN EPITAPH.

An epitaph exists in the Greek anthology, well known in every respect except as to its authorship, which has lately been under my consideration. The following note of my conclusions may be of use.

The epitaph in question is as follows:Ελπὶς καὶ σὺ Τύχη, μέγα χαίρετε. τὸν λιμέν' εὗρον

Οὐδὲν ἐμοὶ χ' ὑμῖν, παίζετε τοὺς μέτ' ἐμέ.

It may be found, as No. 639, in Brunck's 'Analecta Veterum Poetarum Græcorum' (Argentorat., 1772-6, vol. iii. p. 286), and the later edition, Anthologia Græca,' by Jacobs (Lips., 1794, vol. iv. p. 252); and, as c. ix. Ep. 49, in Jacobs and Paulssen's Anthologia Græca' (Lips., 1813-17, vol. ii. p. 20) and Dübner's Epigrammatum Anthologia Palatina' (Paris, 1864-72, vol. ii. p. 10).

Of this epitaph Latin versions abounded in the days of the revival of learning and onwards, and of these I have found the following varieties:

(a) Inveni portum: Spes et Fortuna valete. Nil mihi vobiscum: ludite nunc alios. (b) Inveni portum: Spes et Fortuna valete.

Nil mihi vobiscum est: ludite nunc alios.

(c) Inveni portum: Spes et Fortuna valete. Sat me lusistis: ludite nunc alios.

(d) Jam portum inveni: Spes et Fortuna valete. Nil mihi vobiscum est: ludite nunc alios. (e) Jam reperi portum: Spes et Fortuna valete. Ludite, vobiscum nil mihi, nunc alios.

Of these varieties:

[ocr errors]

(a) is the work-and, so far as appears, the independent work-of Janus Pannonius, the Bishop of Fünfkirchen, in Hungary, and of the Englishman William Lily, the grammarian. See, as to the first, the edition of Pannonius's Poemata' (Traject. ad Rhen., 1784), pars i. p. 531, where it appears as Ep. 160, "E Græco. Anthol., L. i. cap. 80"; as to the second, Progymnasmata Thoma Mori et Guilielmi Lilii Sodalium' in the Frankfort edition of Sir Thomas More's works, 1689, p. 233; or the Basle edition of his 'Utopia' and Epigrams,' 1518, p. 173.

It also appears as the epitaph on the tomb at Rome Francisci Puccii Florentini," but without any mention of source or date, in the Variorum in Europa Itinerum Delicia' of Nathan Chytræus (Herbornæ Nassoviorum, 1594, p. 42 second edition, p. 32).

(b) is the form attributed in his 'Mémoires' (ed. Paris [1882], vol. iv. c. 9, p. 297) to his Mentor by Casanova, who erroneously speaks of it as "la traduction de deux vers d'Euripide."

It is in this form, too, that the epitaph referred to under (a) is misquoted in anotherwise also- careless note of Burmann Secundus, in his 'Anthologia Latinorum Epigrammatum et Poematum,' iv. 274, 8 (Amstelædam., 1759-73, vol. ii. p. 213).

(c) In this shape Le Sage's hero proposed to place an inscription over the door of his house, on retiring from the world and retreating to his hermitage" (Gil Blas,' liv. ix. extr., ed. Paris, 1836, p. 734); and-doubtless hoc fonte derivata-this form passed on to fulfil the same office for Lord Brougham at his château at Cannes.

(d) is attributable to Sir Thomas More. See 'Progymnasmata,' as referred to above under (a).

(e) This version is that of Hugo Grotius. See Dübner, as referred to above.

While better, perhaps, than the others, in the preference of the word reperio to invenio Reperimus nostra: invenimus aliena," says Cornelius Fronto, in Putsch's 'Grammatica Latina Auctores Antiqui' (Hanoviæ, 1605, p. 2197)-it is open to criticism, in that the translator has forgotten Priscian's warning-x. p. 905, Putsch-x. 9, 51, ed. Krehl (Lips., 1819)"Reperio......duplicavit p in
