Odes Horace Horace. The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace. Conington, John, translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1882. O weary with thy long, long game,Who lov'st fierce shouts and helmets bright,And Moorish warrior's glance of flameOr e'er he smite!Or Maia's son, if now awhileIn youthful guise we see thee here,Caesar's avenger—such the styleThou deign'st to bear;Late be thy journey home, and longThy sojourn with Rome's family;Nor let thy wrath at our great wrongLend wings to fly.
