_Living Dog better than a dead Lion_.--For an answer to my Query at Vol.
i., pp. 352. 371., where I asked for the authority upon which Baunez gave
_Homer_ credit for the expression (which is evidently none of his), "quod
leoni mortuo etiam lepores insultant," a friend has referred me to
_Antholog. Græc._. 8vo. Lipsiæ, 1794, tom. iv. p. 112.; out of which you
may, perhaps, think it not too late to insert the following Epigr. xi.
[Greek: "Hôs apo Hektoros titrôskomenou hupo Hellênôn,]
[Greek: Ballete nun meta potmon emon demas. hotti kai autai]
[Greek: Nekrou sôma leontos ephubrizousi lagôoi."]
