Macaronic Poetry Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Macaronic Poetry<br/><br/>E. G. Bidermann's Treatife, De Latim'tate Maca rom'ca, par F. W. Genthà , Leipfic, 1829.if he had written a treatife on the Digamma, in twelve volumes octavo, or fpent his days like Dr. Strong, in grubbing at Greek roots for a Dià tionary, to be completed (as Adams, who had a turn for mathematics, efiimated) in thoufand fix hundred and forty-nine 'years, and confulted, perhaps, in as many more! For I have never heard that the world was any hap pier for the Digamma whereas the man who wrote the Bells of Shandon, has given us many a pleafant evening at the inglefide, and brightened many a lonely hour.
