Odes

Horace

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

  • Did Thetis' son before the dawn of Ilion's fatal day,
  • For fear the manly dress
  • Should fling him into danger's arms, amid the
  • Lycian press?
  • See, how it stands, one pile of snow,
  • Soracte! 'neath the pressure yield
  • Its groaning woods; the torrents' flow
  • With clear sharp ice is all congeal'd.
