Odes

Horace

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

  • Wolves rove among the fearless sheep;
  • The woods for thee their foliage strow;
  • The delver loves on earth to leap,
  • His ancient foe.
  • What the time from Inachus
  • To Codrus, who in patriot battle fell,
  • Who were sprung from Aeacus,
  • And how men fought at Ilion,—this you tell.
