Odes

Horace

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

  • Let the wide waters sever still
  • Ilium and Rome, the exiled race
  • May reign and prosper where they will:
  • So but in Paris' burial-place
  • The cattle sport, the wild beasts hide
  • Their cubs, the Capitol may stand
  • All bright, and Rome in warlike pride
  • O'er Media stretch a conqueror's hand.
