Odes

Horace

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

  • Will bring her sleep. Sleep knows no pride;
  • It scorns not cots of village hinds,
  • Nor shadow-trembling river-side,
  • Nor Tempe, stirr'd by western winds.
  • Who, having competence, has all,
  • The tumult of the sea defies,
  • Nor fears Arcturus' angry fall,
  • Nor fears the Kid-star's sullen rise,
