Odes Horace Horace. The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace. Conington, John, translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1882. This man his planted walks extendsBeyond his peers; an older nameOne to the people's choice commends;One boasts a more unsullied fame;One plumes him on a larger crowdOf clients. What are great or small?Death takes the mean man with the proud;The fatal urn has room for all.
