Odes

Horace

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

  • (For never shall another fair
  • Enslave me), learn a tune, to sing
  • With that dear voice: to music care
  • Shall yield its sting.
  • The gales of Thrace, that hush the unquiet sea,
  • Spring's comrades, on the bellying canvas blow:
  • Clogg'd earth and brawling streams alike are free
  • From winter's weight of snow.
