Every run of seven words or more that appears both here and in another book on this shelf, merged into the longest passage they have in common. Satires, Epistles, Art of Poetry shares wording with 1 of the other 55. This is quotation, or a common source, or one translator doing both — not a resemblance inferred from vocabulary.
