Note 1 — (First Pilgrimage.)

Reading edition

The following is a rough attempt at a free translation of the above celebrated passage in Horace.

Behind the gilded coach pale Care ascends, And haunts his victim wheresoe’er he wends, On foreign shores the exile tries, in vain, To banish thought, and fly from mental pain.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
