Odes Horace Horace. The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace. Conington, John, translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1882. Long springs, mild winters glad that spotBy Jove's good grace, and Aulon, dearTo fruitful Bacchus, envies notFalernian cheer.That spot, those happy heights desireOur sojourn; there, when life shall end,Your tear shall dew my yet warm pyre,Your bard and friend.
