The Sapphick meaſure is indeed very muſical, and what Horace ſeems beſt to hace practiſed ; but methinks it is too ſoft, and fit only to be employed on love and pleaſant eaſy ſubjects : it ſeems too much confined, like the uſual meaſure of our ſongs, and the lofty ſenſe of ſome of his Odes is above it.
1728, John Hughes, The Preſent State of the Republick of Letters, volume I, page 422
