• The First Satire of the Second Book of Horace (1733).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |chapter= – most of the titles are not divided into chapters. If quoting from the advertisement in The First Epistle of the Second Book of Horace, Imitated, specify |chapter=Advertisement.
• |1= or |title= – mandatory: if quoting from a title indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

Parameter value	Result
Book 1, Epistle 1	The First Epistle of the First Book of Horace Imitated (1737)
Book 2, Epistle 1	The First Epistle of the Second Book of Horace, Imitated (1737)
Epistle 2	The Second Epistle of the Second Book of Horace, Imitated (1737)
Epistle 6	The Sixth Epistle of the First Book of Horace Imitated (1737)
Satire 1	The First Satire of the Second Book of Horace, […] (1733)
Satire 2	The Second Satire of the Second Book of Horace Paraphrased (1734)

• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11 or |pages=v–vi.
  • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to an online version of the work.

• |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of numbers, separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash, like this: |lines=10–11.
• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
