Before

Before I conclude this Article, it will not be im proper to give a general Notion of the Second Part of this Book, intituled, The Hiftory of the Life and Odes of Anacreon.

II. That Hiftory is an Ingenious Fiction. Criton (the Author of this Piece) having infinuated himself into the Friendship of Anacreon at Athens, followed him to Samos, whither he was invited by King Polycrates. That Prince received Anacreon with all imaginable Civility; and Criton had a Share in the good Fortune of his Friend. He tells us upon what Occafion Anacreon made his Odes; by which means the Life of that Poet is interfperfed with his Greek Poems, to which the Author has added his Tranflation into French Verfe. Criton appears very much difpleased with feveral Perfons of Samos, whom he calls, the Priest (Sacrificateur) Rignomare, Litomacros, Foffinonte, Eufrofine, Daughter of the Gram"marian Eufron, and Wife of Dacos, great Confervator (Confervateur) of the Royal Library at Samos Whenever Anacreon made a new Ode, it was immediately cenfured (fays Criton) by those Learned Perfons. Criton never approves their Criticisms, and makes his Reflexions upon them with great Freedom. Which is the Reason why the Author not being able to publish this Book at Sa mos, his own Country, was obliged to go to Lacedemon, and to get it Printed there.

66

To give a Specimen of the Author's Poetry, I fhall fet down his Tranflation of the Third Ode. The Readers may compare it with thofe of Madam Dacier, Mr. De Longepierre, and Mr. De la Foffe.

L'homme

L'homme tranquillement repofe
Dans le filence de la nuit ;
L'Amour vint fraper à ma porte.
Qui heurte fi tard de la forte,
Criai-je, en furfaut reveillé ?
Helas! c'eft un enfant mouillé,
Reprit-il; ouvrez, je vous prie:
Il pleut; mes pas font egarez:
Ne craignez rien: de grace, ouvrez.
A ce difcours l'ame attendrie,
Une lampe en main à l'instant,
Je cours ouvrir à cet enfant.
Ses aîles, fon arc, & fa trouffe
Me donnerent quelque foupçon:
Mais il avoit la mine douce,
Et l'air d'un aimable garçon.
Je le fais entrer, je l'effuie,
Je prends fes mains, & peu à peu
Je les rechauffe auprès du feu ;
En un mot je lui rends la vie.
Si-tôt que le froid l'eut quitté,
Voions, me dit-il, fi la pluie
A mon arc n'auroit rien gâté :
Après ces mots il fe retire,
Trois pas en arriere, & foudain
Me decoche un trait dans le fein:
Le coup fait, il fe mit à rire,
Et me dit, d'un air fcelerat,
Felicite moi, Camarade!

Mon arc eft en fort bon état;
Mais, je croi ton cœur bien malade.
