Odes

Horace

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

  • Him, as the stag forgets to graze for fright,
  • Seeing the wolf at distance in the glade,
  • And flies, high panting, you shall fly, despite
  • Boasts to your leman made.
  • What though Achilles' wrathful fleet postpone
  • The day of doom to Troy and Troy's proud dames,
  • Her towers shall fall, the number'd winters flown,
  • Wrapp'd in Achaenan flames.”
