Odes

Horace

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

  • O, what can match the green recess,
  • Whose honey not to Hybla yields,
  • Whose olives vie with those that bless
  • Venafrum's fields?
  • Long springs, mild winters glad that spot
  • By Jove's good grace, and Aulon, dear
  • To fruitful Bacchus, envies not
  • Falernian cheer.
