Odes Horace Horace. The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace. Conington, John, translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1882. You the maidens' dance to lead,And cast your gloom upon those beaming stars!Daughter Pholoe may succeed,But mother Chloris what she touches mars.Young men's homes your daughter storms,Like Thyiad, madden'd by the cymbals' beat:Nothus' love her bosom warms:She gambols like a fawn with silver feet.Yours should be the wool that growsBy fair Luceria, not the merry lute:Flowers beseem not wither'd brows,.Nor wither'd lips with emptied wine-jars suit.
