Book excerpt: Excerpt from Odes of Horace, Vol. 2: Translated Into English Verse The publication of a translation of the first book of the Odes of Horace almost inevitably leads to a further attempt on the part of the author, and the present volume is the result of such an attempt. 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 prefixed, not to show the exactness of the translation, 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 recollection of their classical studies.
