Horace's Philosophy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCAAABBWhat the end the gods have destined unto thee and unto me | A |
Ask not 'tis forbidden knowledge Be content Leuconoe | B |
Let alone the fortune tellers How much better to endure | C |
Whatsoever shall betide us even though we be not sure | C |
Whether Jove grants other winters whether this our last shall be | A |
That upon the rocks opposing dashes now the Tuscan sea | A |
Be thou wise and strain thy wines and mindful of life's brevity | A |
Stint thy hopes The envious moments even while we speak have flown | B |
Trusting nothing to the future seize the day that is our own | B |
