ENDNOTES.

1 Polydamas is from Homer (Il. xxii. 104-5). Polydamas and the high-born Roman ladies are supposed to represent the opinions of the respectable Mrs. Grundys of the day. Attius Labeo was a poor poet of the time, said to have translated Homer.

2 The secret is that every one is an ass, see 1. 121. For the passage 8-12 I follow the punctuation and explanation given by Professor Housman (C.Q. Jan. 1913). Cachinno is a verb, “I laugh”; it has been commonly taken as a substantive (“a laugher”) but there is no authority.
