Horace Book I OdeA

Tu ne qu sieris scire nefas quem mihi quem tibiB
-
AD LEUCONOENC

-
Look not Leucono into the futureD
Seek not to find what the answer may beB
Let no Chaldean clairvoyant compute yourE
Time of existence It irritates meB
-
Better to bear whatever may happen soeverE
Patiently playing it through like a sportF
Whether the end of your breathing is NeverE
Or as is likely your time will be shortF
-
This is the angle the true situationC
Get me I pray for I'm putting you hepG
While I've been fooling with versificationC
Time has been flying Both gatesH
Watch your stepG
