 Anstey did not agree that Latin was as unpliable as Gray suggests and had no difficulty in finding ways of including all these references , although other Latin translators found different solutions , especially in regard to inclusion of the beetle . He similarly ignored Gray ’ s suggestion in the same letter , referring back to his own alternative versions in earlier drafts of his poem : “ Might not the English characters here be romanized ? Virgil is just as good as Milton , and Cæsar as Cromwell , but who shall be Hampden ? ” Again , however , other Latin translators , especially those from outside Britain , found Gray ’ s suggested alternative more appealing .
