Odes Horace Horace. The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace. Conington, John, translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1882. Not Cybele, nor he that hauntsRich Pytho, worse the brain confounds,Not Bacchus, nor the CorybantsClash their loud gongs with fiercer soundsThan savage wrath; nor sword nor spearAppals it, no, nor ocean's frown,Nor ravening fire, nor Jupiter In hideous ruin crashing down.
