Odes Horace Horace. The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace. Conington, John, translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1882. Come, tell me what barbarian fairWill serve you now, her bridegroom slain?What page from court with essenced hairWill tender you the bowl you drain,Well skill'd to bend the Serian bowHis father carried? Who shall sayThat rivers may not uphill flow,And Tiber's self return one day,
