Quote by Horace
This is a fault common to all singers, that among their friends they will never sing when they are asked; unasked, they will never desist.
Summary
This quote highlights the tendency of singers to only sing when they are not requested to do so, while refusing to sing when they are actually asked. It suggests that singers might have the desire to showcase their talents but are hesitant to do so when directly approached. This fault is seen as a common attribute among singers, who may be more comfortable singing on their own terms rather than under pressure or in front of others.
