Odes Horace Horace. The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace. Conington, John, translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1882. In sadness hope, in gladness fear'Gainst coming change will fortifyYour breast. The storms that JupiterSweeps o'er the skyHe chases. Why should rain todayBring rain tomorrow? Python's foeIs pleased sometimes his lyre to play,Nor bends his bow.
