Odes

Horace

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

  • Septimius, who with me would brave
  • Far Gades, and Cantabrian land
  • Untamed by Rome, and Moorish wave
  • That whirls the sand;
  • Fair Tibur, town of Argive kings,
  • There would I end my days serene,
  • At rest from seas and travellings,
  • And service seen.
