Odes

Horace

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

E'en in the tomb: not Hannibal's swift flight,

Nor those fierce threats flung back into his face,

Not impious Carthage in its last red blaze,

In clearer light sets forth his spotless fame,

Who from crush'd Afric took away—a name,

Than rude Calabria's tributary lays.

Let silence hide the good your hand has wrought,

Farewell, reward! Had blank oblivion's power
