Synopsis
Excerpt from Odes of Horace, Vol. 2: Translated Into English Verse
The present translation is an endeavour to carry out the aims of the former, namely, to give a rendering, in the simplest metre, of the meaning of the poet, without any attempt at a literal translation, and without being in any way bound to use the same metre in translating similar Odes. The original Latin is also pre fixed, not to show the exactness of the trans lation, since it is not exact, but as an assistance to those of my readers who, like myself, have long left their schooldays behind them, but who may still retain a not altogether unkindly re collection of their classical studies.
