Thee too great Pales will I hymn and thee	A
Amphrysian shepherd worthy to be sung	B
You woods and waves Lycaean All themes beside	C
Which else had charmed the vacant mind with song	D
Are now waxed common Of harsh Eurystheus who	E
The story knows not or that praiseless king	F
Busiris and his altars or by whom	G
Hath not the tale been told of Hylas young	B
Latonian Delos and Hippodame	G
And Pelops for his ivory shoulder famed	H
Keen charioteer Needs must a path be tried	C
By which I too may lift me from the dust	I
And float triumphant through the mouths of men	J
Yea I shall be the first so life endure	K
To lead the Muses with me as I pass	L
To mine own country from the Aonian height	M
I Mantua first will bring thee back the palms	N
Of Idumaea and raise a marble shrine	O
On thy green plain fast by the water side	C
Where Mincius winds more vast in lazy coils	P
And rims his margent with the tender reed	Q
Amid my shrine shall Caesar's godhead dwell	R
To him will I as victor bravely dight	Q
In Tyrian purple drive along the bank	S
A hundred four horse cars All Greece for me	G
Leaving Alpheus and Molorchus' grove	T
On foot shall strive or with the raw hide glove	U
Whilst I my head with stripped green olive crowned	Q
Will offer gifts Even 'tis present joy	V
To lead the high processions to the fane	W
And view the victims felled or how the scene	X
Sunders with shifted face and Britain's sons	Y
Inwoven thereon with those proud curtains rise	Z
Of gold and massive ivory on the doors	A2
I'll trace the battle of the Gangarides	A2
And our Quirinus' conquering arms and there	B2
Surging with war and hugely flowing the Nile	C2
And columns heaped on high with naval brass	A2
And Asia's vanquished cities I will add	Q
And quelled Niphates and the Parthian foe	D2
Who trusts in flight and backward volleying darts	A2
And trophies torn with twice triumphant hand	Q
From empires twain on ocean's either shore	E2
And breathing forms of Parian marble there	B2
Shall stand the offspring of Assaracus	A2
And great names of the Jove descended folk	F2
And father Tros and Troy's first founder lord	Q
Of Cynthus And accursed Envy there	B2
Shall dread the Furies and thy ruthless flood	Q
Cocytus and Ixion's twisted snakes	A2
And that vast wheel and ever baffling stone	G2
Meanwhile the Dryad haunted woods and lawns	A2
Unsullied seek we 'tis thy hard behest	Q
Maecenas Without thee no lofty task	H2
My mind essays Up break the sluggish bonds	A2
Of tarriance with loud din Cithaeron calls	A2
Steed taming Epidaurus and thy hounds	A2
Taygete and hark the assenting groves	A2
With peal on peal reverberate the roar	E2
Yet must I gird me to rehearse ere long	D
The fiery fights of Caesar speed his name	G
Through ages countless as to Caesar's self	I2
From the first birth dawn of Tithonus old	Q
If eager for the prized Olympian palm	G
One breed the horse or bullock strong to plough	J2
Be his prime care a shapely dam to choose	A2
Of kine grim faced is goodliest with coarse head	Q
And burly neck whose hanging dewlaps reach	K2
From chin to knee of boundless length her flank	S
Large every way she is large footed even	L2
With incurved horns and shaggy ears beneath	M2
Nor let mislike me one with spots of white	Q
Conspicuous or that spurns the yoke whose horn	N2
At times hath vice in't liker bull faced she	G
And tall limbed wholly and with tip of tail	O2
Brushing her footsteps as she walks along	D
The age for Hymen's rites Lucina's pangs	A2
Ere ten years ended after four begins	A2
Their residue of days nor apt to teem	G
Nor strong for ploughing Meantime while youth's delight	Q
Survives within them loose the males be first	Q
To speed thy herds of cattle to their loves	A2
Breed stock with stock and keep the race supplied	Q
Ah life's best hours are ever first to fly	P2
From hapless mortals in their place succeed	Q
Disease and dolorous eld till travail sore	E2
And death unpitying sweep them from the scene	X
Still will be some whose form thou fain wouldst change	Q2
Renew them still with yearly choice of young	B
Preventing losses lest too late thou rue	E
Nor steeds crave less selection but on those	A2
Thou think'st to rear the promise of their line	O
From earliest youth thy chiefest pains bestow	D2
See from the first yon high bred colt afield	Q
His lofty step his limbs' elastic tread	Q
Dauntless he leads the herd still first to try	P2
The threatening flood or brave the unknown bridge	R2
By no vain noise affrighted lofty necked	Q
With clean cut head short belly and stout back	S2
His sprightly breast exuberant with brawn	T2
Chestnut and grey are good the worst hued white	Q
And sorrel Then lo if arms are clashed afar	U2
Bide still he cannot ears stiffen and limbs quake	V2
His nostrils snort and roll out wreaths of fire	W2
Dense is his mane that when uplifted falls	A2
On his right shoulder betwixt either loin	X2
The spine runs double his earth dinting hoof	Y2
Rings with the ponderous beat of solid horn	N2
Even such a horse was Cyllarus reined and tamed	Q
By Pollux of Amyclae such the pair	B2
In Grecian song renowned those steeds of Mars	A2
And famed Achilles' team in such like form	G
Great Saturn's self with mane flung loose on neck	Z2
Sped at his wife's approach and flying filled	Q
The heights of Pelion with his piercing neigh	Y2
Even him when sore disease or sluggish eld	Q
Now saps his strength pen fast at home and spare	B2
His not inglorious age A horse grown old	Q
Slow kindling unto love in vain prolongs	A2
The fruitless task and to the encounter come	G
As fire in stubble blusters without strength	A3
He rages idly Therefore mark thou first	Q
Their age and mettle other points anon	N2
As breed and lineage or what pain was theirs	A2
To lose the race what pride the palm to win	N2
Seest how the chariots in mad rivalry	G
Poured from the barrier grip the course and go	D2
When youthful hope is highest and every heart	Q
Drained with each wild pulsation How they ply	P2
The circling lash and reaching forward let	Q
The reins hang free Swift spins the glowing wheel	B3
And now they stoop and now erect in air	B2
Seem borne through space and towering to the sky	P2
No stop no stay the dun sand whirls aloft	Q
They reek with foam flakes and pursuing breath	C3
So sweet is fame so prized the victor's palm	G
'Twas Ericthonius first took heart to yoke	F2
Four horses to his car and rode above	Y2
The whirling wheels to victory but the ring	F
And bridle reins mounted on horses' backs	A2
The Pelethronian Lapithae bequeathed	Q
And taught the knight in arms to spurn the ground	Q
And arch the upgathered footsteps of his pride	Q
Each task alike is arduous and for each	K2
A horse young fiery swift of foot they seek	D3
How oft so e'er yon rival may have chased	Q
The flying foe or boast his native plain	N2
Epirus or Mycenae's stubborn hold	Q
And trace his lineage back to Neptune's birth	E3
These points regarded as the time draws nigh	P2
With instant zeal they lavish all their care	B2
To plump with solid fat the chosen chief	Y2
And designated husband of the herd	Q
And flowery herbs they cut and serve him well	R
With corn and running water that his strength	A3
Not fail him for that labour of delight	Q
Nor puny colts betray the feeble sire	W2
The herd itself of purpose they reduce	A2
To leanness and when love's sweet longing first	Q
Provokes them they forbid the leafy food	Q
And pen them from the springs and oft beside	Q
With running shake and tire them in the sun	N2
What time the threshing floor groans heavily	G
With pounding of the corn ears and light chaff	Y2
Is whirled on high to catch the rising west	Q
This do they that the soil's prolific powers	A2
May not be dulled by surfeiting nor choke	F2
The sluggish furrows but eagerly absorb	F3
Their fill of love and deeply entertain	N2
To care of sire the mother's care succeeds	A2
When great with young they wander nigh their time	G
Let no man suffer them to drag the yoke	F2
In heavy wains nor leap across the way	G3
Nor scour the meads nor swim the rushing flood	Q
In lonely lawns they feed them by the course	A2
Of brimming streams where moss is and the banks	A2
With grass are greenest where are sheltering caves	A2
And far outstretched the rock flung shadow lies	A2
Round wooded Silarus and the ilex bowers	A2
Of green Alburnus	A2
