Odes

Horace

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

  • Who, having competence, has all,
  • The tumult of the sea defies,
  • Nor fears Arcturus' angry fall,
  • Nor fears the Kid-star's sullen rise,
  • Though hail-storms on the vineyard beat,
  • Though crops deceive, though trees complain,
  • One while of showers, one while of heat,
  • One while of winter's barbarous reign.
