_Latin Translation from Sheridan, &c._--My treacherous memory retains one
line only of each of two translations into Latin verse, admirably done, of
two well-known pieces of English poetry. The first from a song by Sheridan,
of the lines:
"Nor can I believe it then,
Till it gently press again."
"Conscia ni dextram dextera pressa premat."
The second:
"Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long."
is thus rendered:
"Poscimus in terris pauca, nec illa diu."
If in the circle of your correspondents the complete translations can be
furnished, you will by their insertion, gratify other lovers of modern
Latin poetry besides
