Odes

Horace

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

  • 'Tis Telephus that you'd bewitch:
  • But he is of a high degree;
  • Bound to a lady fair and rich,
  • He is not free.
  • O think of Phaethon half burn'd,
  • And moderate your passion's greed:
  • Think how Bellerophon was spurn'd
  • By his wing'd steed.
