Juvenal (c. 60–c. 130), Roman satiric poet. Satires, no. 1, l. 85-6.
Translated thus, by Alexander Pope, this appeared as epigraph to the "Prospectus" in the first issue of Richard Steele's Tatler magazine, April 12, 1709. Juvenal's original, with a more inclusive list of topics (summed up as a farrago), referred to a "little book" or "notebook" (libellus), rather than a journal.
