Odes

Horace

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

  • Honour to Proculeius! he
  • To brethren play'd a father's part;
  • Fame shall embalm through years to be
  • That noble heart.
  • Who curbs a greedy soul may boast
  • More power than if his broad-based throne
  • Bridged Libya's sea, and either coast
  • Were all his own.
