excepit: sustained. -- pudicis: 3. 5. 41; αἰδοίῃς (Il. 6. 250). 25. A familiar quotation. Cf. Byron, Don Juan, 1. 5, `Brave men were living before Agamemnon. . . . But then they shone not on the poets' page.' Cf. also, Ben Jonson's elaborate imitation, The Forest, 12; Boilean, Épître, 1; and, for the general idea, Sat. 1. 3. 107; Pind. Nem. 7. 12. For immortality of poetry, cf. further on 3. 30; 4. 8; Theognis, 237; Tibull. 1. 4. 65; Propert. 4. 1. 23; Theocr. 16. 48; Sappho, fr. 68, `Thou shalt die and be laid low in the grave, hidden from mortal ken | Unremembered, and no song of the muse waken thy name again. | No Pierian rose brightens thy brow, lost in the nameless throng, | Thy dark spirit shall flit forth like a dream, bodiless ghosts among.'
