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 blessVenafrum's fields?Long springs, mild winters glad that spotBy Jove's good grace, and Aulon, dearTo fruitful Bacchus, envies notFalernian cheer.
