Ovid's a rake, as half his verses show him,     Anacreon's morals are a still worse sample, Catullus scarcely has a decent poem,     I don't think Sappho's Ode a good example, Although Longinus tells us there is no hymn     Where the sublime soars forth on wings more ample: But Virgil's songs are pure, except that horrid one Beginning with 'Formosum Pastor Corydon.'
