Odes Horace Horace. The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace. Conington, John, translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1882. Girt with her foul emasculate throng,By Fortune's sweet new wine befool'd,In hope's ungovern'd weakness strongTo hope for all; but soon she cool'd,To see one ship from burning 'scape;Great Caesar taught her dizzy brain,Made mad by Mareotic grape,To feel the sobering truth of pain,
