Odes
Horace
Horace. The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace. Conington, John, translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1882.
- What now, if Love returning
- Should pair us 'neath his brazen yoke once more,
- And, bright-hair'd Chloe spurning,
- Horace to off-cast Lydia ope his door?
- Though he is fairer, milder,
- Than starlight, you lighter than bark of tree,
- Than stormy Hadria wilder,
- With you to live, to die, were bliss for me.
