Thus, I end the work of The Iliad, free from all errors, and withouthaste or misadventure. I have made this labour, and have endedit, for the glory of the god-like Homer; yet I am not so blind as notto perceive that, as a poet, he has not always succeeded so well; thathe is not so just and correct as he is told to be; and that he maybe censured in many things that are to his honor, and that appear to beadvantageous to him. And I am no more ignorant of the errors of hisverses, than I am of the beauties; nor, as he is entitled, moreblind than I am, than I am, of the beauty of his poetry. For whichcause therefore, I do not mean in this Preface to touch upon his faults;and to make the work more perfect by giving more light and more solidproof of his worth. But I have rather entered upon those things whichI find most wanting; and have promised to correct and mend them, in thecourse of my translation. I shall therefore go on to find out his errors,and rectify them, as far as I am able. For it will be no great difficultyto me, either by the method of the Greek, or by the help of my own wit.But, had there not been so many authors written upon this poem, and hadI been myself the first historian, I had not acted so ill as to imitate them;for, to say truth, I know but little either of the Greek or Latin. Butwhether I can do anything for the honor of the poet, I am confidentI shall not do any thing for the honor of the translator, who is contentto live in obscurity. I am not the first translator of Homer; and I shouldbe glad to be the last, except that I cannot be enough known in my owncountry; and, as I have published my translations, those that are myequals in this work have done no more. I shall therefore fall short of thehonor of my predecessors in the knowledge of the Latin tongue, havingalready, if I live to finish this work, borrowed from them all the aidsand helps I can; and, if I live not, it will not cost me much more todie than to live.
For what reason then am I stopped, but that you have only just found outThis, when ye did me the benefit of aiding me with your money, to search outWhoever it was, that brought me up. But, I beseech you, whilst you wereCompassionate, and put it out of your heads that I was brought up by any, ye wouldDo me a great kindness, and think that it was possible for any of you to keep me, and not to attempt to find outWho brought me up. You have done it for the sake of my country, and that I am grateful for.343 827ec27edc
