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.
