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'd
  • The minstrel's will,
  • Who, by his mother's gift of song,
  • Held the fleet stream, the rapid breeze,
  • And led with blandishment along
  • The listening trees?
