A. I begin with some emendations founded on familiar evidence. (a) ii. 9. aspice quos summittat humus formosa colores. In each of the following verses of the stanza from u . 9 to u . 14 natural and spontaneous beauty is the subject ( sponte sua, solis, indociles, natiuis, nulla arte ). Verse 9 has seemed unsatisfactory because it lacks the very point which it should introduce. All the emendations have attacked formosa because it is repeated in u . 11: morosa , Housman (which would rather mean ‘wayward’ or ‘crabbed’), dumosa, nemorosa, muscosa , and other even less probable adjectives have been suggested
