Odes Horace Horace. The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace. Conington, John, translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1882. Wolves rove among the fearless sheep;The woods for thee their foliage strow;The delver loves on earth to leap,His ancient foe.What the time from InachusTo Codrus, who in patriot battle fell,Who were sprung from Aeacus,And how men fought at Ilion,—this you tell.What the wines of Chios cost,Who with due heat our water can allay,What the hour, and who the hostTo give us house-room,—this you will not say
