Odes

Horace

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

  • Shows how a treacherous woman's lying breath
  • Once on a time on trustful Proetus won
  • To doom to early death
  • Too chaste Bellerophon;
  • Warns him of Peleus' peril, all but slain
  • For virtuous scorn of fair Hippolyta,
  • And tells again each tale
  • That e'er led heart astray.
