Odes

Horace

Horace, creator; Conington, John, 1825-1869, editor

  • When life is o'er, and Minos has rehearsed
  • The grand last doom,
  • Not birth, nor eloquence, nor worth, shall burst
  • Torquatus' tomb.
  • Not Dian's self can chaste Hippolytus
  • To life recall,
  • Nor Theseus free his loved Pirithous
  • From Lethe's thrall.
