Note 548 — Chapter II · PETRONIUS: NOVELIST AND POET

§ 52: “et pueri mortui iacent sic ut uiuere putes.” Squire Western is equally confused in his recollections of the metamorphosis of Actaeon into a stag: “I’d rather be run by one of my own dogs as one Acton was that the story-book says was turned into a hare and his own dogs killed un and eat un.” Fielding, Tom Jones, XVII. ch. 3.
