Abstract. The article is devoted to the Horatian plot of "farewell to the book" and its transformation in the "farewell elegy" of the Russian poet of the XVIII century S. Yavorsky. In the epistle of Horace "To His Book" the metaphorical image of the book-"naughty child" which wants to get rid of the guardianship of the author-"father" is created. In the creative heritage of Yavorsky the plot changes in accordance with the transitional stage of the Russian culture, in the text two biblical metaphors can be found: book-"child" and Eternal book-"judge", and the author’s image appears to be ambivalent: it has the features of the baby, trembling before the God court, and the careful parent who has prepared the shelter for his offspring - the library.
