Summary
VII 23–6
Vror, ut inducto ceratae sulpure taedae,
ut pia fumosis addita tura rogis.
Aeneas oculis semper uigilantis inhaeret,
Aenean animo noxque diesque refert.
24 and 25 are found neither in P nor in G nor in more than a few of the other MSS.
The archetype itself contained many interpolated verses, which appear accordingly in P and G and all the rest. But some of the later MSS proffer new interpolations, from which P and G and many of the others are free. I here enquire whether, in spite of this fact, any of the later MSS preserve genuine verses which have been omitted by P and G.
Some of the inserted lines betray their spuriousness plainly in language or metre, as v 26 ‘est in qua nostri littera scripta memor’ and IV 132 sq. ‘Saturnus periit, perierunt et sua regna: ∣ sub Ioue nunc mundus; iura Iouis sequere’: such as these I leave alone. Nor shall I here discuss the couplets with which many MSS have filled up real or imaginary gaps at the opening of certain epistles. But I shall examine five places in the body of the poems where later MSS offer verses which are missing from the oldest.
First VIII (Hermione) 19 sqq.
sit socer exemplo nuptae repetitor ademptae,
nupta foret Paridi mater, ut ante fuit.
