We’re door by door, by Flora’s temple dome1;
And in the country, still conjoined by fate,
Behold2 our villas3 standing4 gate by gate),
Thou hast a daughter, dearer far than life —
Thy image and the image of thy wife.
Thy image and thy wife’s, and be it so!
But why for her, { neglect the flowing } can
{ O Nepos, leave the }
And lose the prime of thy Falernian?
Hoard5 casks of money, if to hoard be thine;
But let thy daughter drink a younger wine!
Let her go rich and wise, in silk and fur;
Lay down a { bin6 that shall } grow old with her;
{ vintage to }
But thou, meantime, the while the batch7 is sound,
With pleased companions pass the bowl around;
Nor let the childless only taste delights,
For Fathers also may enjoy their nights.
