Odes

Horace

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

Ixion too and Tityos smooth'd

Their rugged brows: the urn stood dry

One hour, while Danaus' maids were sooth'd

With minstrelsy.

Let Lyde hear those maidens' guilt,

Their famous doom, the ceaseless drain

Of outpour'd water, ever spilt,

And all the pain
