Odes

Horace

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

  1. What now, if Love returning
  2. Should pair us 'neath his brazen yoke once more,
  3. And, bright-hair'd Chloe spurning,
  4. Horace to off-cast Lydia ope his door?
Lydia
  1. Though he is fairer, milder,
  2. Than starlight, you lighter than bark of tree,
  3. Than stormy Hadria wilder,
  4. With you to live, to die, were bliss for me.
