Odes Horace Horace. The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace. Conington, John, translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1882. Varus, are your trees in planting? put in none before the vine,In the rich domain of Tibur, by the walls of Catilus;There's a power above that hampers all that sober brains design,And the troubles man is heir to thus are quell'd, and only thus.
