Odes

Horace

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

  • Thee, Furius, and Fabricius, thee,
  • Rough Curius too, with untrimm'd beard,
  • Your sires' transmitted poverty
  • To conquest rear'd.
  • Marcellus' fame, its up-growth hid,
  • Springs like a tree; great Julius' light
  • Shines, like the radiant moon amid
  • The lamps of night.
