Excerpt from De Poeticæ Vi Medica, Vol. 1: Prælectiones Academicæ Oxonii Habitæ, Annis 1832-1841
Quod si is plane forem, quem esse deceret, qui ex superiore loco vos alloqueretulj, non equidem idea refugiendum duxerim, quod scilicet minus bene con veniat, periclitante republica, in studia Poetaram in cumbere: quippe qui nihil his studiis efficacius cre dam ad cives: omni virtute armandos, nihil vicissim ad haec utilius, quam si quis, sui oblitus, patriae labo rantis causa strenuum atque indefessum se gerat. Verum quam arcta societate inter se conjungantur hinc vatis egregii, illinc fortis bonique civis officia, alius fortasse disserendi locus eric. Nunc unus etiam mihi scrupulus injìcitur, quem postquam pro Viribus evellera, rem ipsam paucis aggredi, nostrique consilii summam exponere, licebit.
