Odes Horace Horace. The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace. Conington, John, translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1882. Nor savage wolves, of Mars' own breed,My Tyndaris, while Ustica's dellIs vocal with the silvan reed,And music thrills the limestone fell.Heaven is my guardian; heaven approvesA blameless life, by song made sweet;Come hither, and the fields and grovesTheir horn shall empty at your feet.
