verum nil tanti est . ergo fungar vice cotis , acutum reddere quae ferrum valet exsors ipsa secandi ; munus et officium , nil scribens ipse , docebo , unde parentur opes , quid alat formetque poetam , quid deceat , quid non , quo virtus , quo ferat error .
therefore
i
will
serve
instead
of
a
whetstone
,
which
though
not
able
of
itself
to
cut
,
can
make
steel
sharp
:
so
i
,
who
can
write
no
poetry
myself
,
will
teach
the
duty
and
business
[
of
an
author]
;
whence
he
may
be
stocked
with
rich
materials
;
what
nourishes
and
forms
the
poet
;
what
gives
grace
,
what
not
;
what
is
the
tendency
of
excellence
,
what
that
of
error
.
