Seventh Ode Of The Fourth Book Of Horace Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHICJKKLKMNOPQ ORKSEKTO| All the snows have fled and grass springs up on the meadows | A |
| And there are leaves on the trees | B |
| Earth has changed her looks and turbulent rivers decreasing | C |
| Slowly meander along | D |
| Now with the naked nymphs and her own twin sisters Agla a | E |
| Gracefully dances in time | F |
| But the Year and the Hours which hurry along our existence | G |
| Solemnly warn us to die | H |
| Zephyr removes the frost and Summer soon destined to perish | I |
| Treads in the footsteps of Spring | C |
| After the joyous reign of Autumn abounding in apples | J |
| Shivering Winter returns | K |
| Heavenly waste is repaired by the moon in her quick revo lutions | K |
| But when we go to the grave | L |
| Beside the pious neas and rich old Tullus and Ancus | K |
| We are but dust and a shade | M |
| Who knows if the gods above have determined whether to morrow | N |
| We shall be living or dead | O |
| Nothing will come to the greedy hands of your spendthrift successor | P |
| Which you have given away | Q |
| When you are gone to the grave and Minos sitting in judg ment | O |
| Utters your terrible doom | R |
| Neither your rank nor your talents will bring you to life O Torquatus | K |
| Nor will affection avail | S |
| Even the chaste Hippolytus was not released by Diana | E |
| From the infernal abyss | K |
| Nor could Theseus break from his friend the rewards of presumption | T |
| Which the stern monarch imposed | O |
