Horace

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

  • Heaven's favourite, sooth, for thrice a year
  • He comes and goes across the brine
  • Undamaged. I in plenty here
  • On endives, mallows, succory dine.
  • O grant me, Phoebus, calm content,
  • Strength unimpaird, a mind entire,
  • Old age without dishonour spent,
  • Nor unbefriended by the lyre!
