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 spot
  • By Jove's good grace, and Aulon, dear
  • To fruitful Bacchus, envies not
  • Falernian cheer.
  • That spot, those happy heights desire
  • Our sojourn; there, when life shall end,
  • Your tear shall dew my yet warm pyre,
  • Your bard and friend.
