Odes

Horace

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

Our wives and children at our side,

First paying Heaven the prayers we owe,

Shall sing of chiefs whose deeds are done,

As wont our sires, to flute or shell,

And Troy, Anchises, and the son

Of Venus on our tongues shall dwell.
