History of Roman Literature (1877)
"Incorrigibly immoral but inexpressibly graceful poet was born at Sulmo in ... 43 B.C. of wealthy parents.... Of equestrian rank, with good introductions and brilliant talents, he was expected to devote himself to the duties of public life. At first he studied for the bar; but so slight was his ambition and so unfitted was his genius."
