I. The minutiae of verbal criticism I am far from seeking to despise.

1. Three parts of the emendations made upon poets are mere alterations, some of which, had they been suggested to the author by his Maecenas or Africanus, he would probably have adopted.
2. Moreover, those who are most exact in laying down rules of verbal criticism and interpretation, are often least competent to carry out their own precepts.
3. Indeed, considering the character of some of my own books, such an attempt would be gross inconsistency.
4. But, while I appreciate its importance in a philological view, I am inclined to set little store on its aesthetic value, especially in poetry.

II. Grammarians are not poets by profession, but may be so per accidents.

1) CABD
