Horace. The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace. Conington, John, translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1882.

  • What man, what hero, Clio sweet,
  • On harp or flute wilt thou proclaim?
  • What god shall echo's voice repeat

  • Or Pindus, or on Haemus chill,
  • Where once the hurrying woods obey'd
  • The minstrel's will,
