Horace Book I OdeA
-
Mater s va CupidinumB
-
-
Venus the cruel mother ofC
The Cupids symbolising LoveC
Bids me to muse upon and sighD
For things to which I've said Good byeD
-
Believe me or believe me notE
I give this Glycera girl a lotE
Pure Parian marble are her armsF
And she has eighty other charmsF
-
Venus has left her Cyprus homeB
And will not let me pull a pomeB
About the Parthians fierce and roughG
The Scythian war and all that stuffG
-
Set up O slaves a verdant shrineH
Uncork a quart of last year's wineH
Place incense here and here verbenasF
And watch me while I jolly VenusF
