Odes Horace Horace. The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace. Conington, John, translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1882. Old Tiber, hurl'd in tumult backFrom mingling with the Etruscan main,Has threaten'd Numa's court with wrackAnd Vesta's fane.Roused by his Ilia's plaintive woes,He vows revenge for guiltless blood,And, spite of Jove, his banks o'erflows,Uxorious flood.
