New editions of his works were published almost yearly. There were three new editions in 1612 (two in Leiden, one in Frankfurt) and again in 1699 (Utrecht, Barcelona, Cambridge). Cheap editions were plentiful and fine editions were also produced, including one whose entire text was engraved by John Pine in copperplate. The poet James Thomson owned five editions of Horace's work and the physician James Douglas had five hundred books with Horace-related titles. Horace was often commended in periodicals such as The Spectator, as a hallmark of good judgement, moderation and manliness, a focus for moralising. His verses offered a fund of mottoes, such as "simplex munditiis" (elegance in simplicity), "splendide mendax" (nobly untruthful), "sapere aude" (dare to know), "nunc est bibendum" (now is the time to drink), "carpe diem" (seize the day, perhaps the only one still in common use today). These were quoted even in works as prosaic as Edmund Quincy's "A treatise of hemp-husbandry" (1765). The fictional hero Tom Jones recited his verses with feeling. His works were also used to justify commonplace themes, such as patriotic obedience, as in James Parry's English lines from an Oxford University collection in 1736:
