Odes Horace Horace. The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace. Conington, John, translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1882. To Helicon's sequester'd shade,Or Pindus, or on Haemus chill,Where once the hurrying woods obey'dThe minstrel's will,Who, by his mother's gift of song,Held the fleet stream, the rapid breeze,And led with blandishment alongThe listening trees?
