Horace

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

  • Our planets sure with concord strange
  • Are blended. You by Jove's blest power
  • Were snatch'd from out the baleful range
  • Of Saturn, and the evil hour
  • Was stay'd, when rapturous benches full
  • Three times the auspicious thunder peal'd;
  • Me the curst trunk, that smote my skull,
  • Had slain; but Faunus, strong to shield
