Odes

Horace

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

  • Fish feel the narrowing of the main
  • From sunken piles, while on the strand
  • Contractors with their busy train
  • Let down huge stones, and lords of land
  • Affect the sea: but fierce Alarm
  • Can clamber to the master's side:
  • Black Cares can up ihe galley swarm,
  • And close behind the horseman ride.
