Ode i.
To Asinius Pollio.

You are treating of the civil commotion1, which began from the consulship2 of Metelius, and the causes, and the errors, and the operations of the war, and the game that fortune played, and the pernicious confederacy of the chiefs, and arms stained with blood not yet expiated3 — a work full of danger and hazard: and you are treading upon fires, hidden under deceitful ashes: let therefore the muse4 that presides over severe tragedy, be for a while absent from the theaters; shortly, when thou hast completed the narrative6 of the public affairs, you shall resume your great work in the tragic7 style of Athens, O Pollio, thou excellent succor8 to sorrowing defendants9 and a consulting senate; [Pollio,] to whom the laurel produced immortal10 honors in the Dalmatian triumph. Even now you stun11 our ears with the threatening murmur12 of horns: now the clarions sound; now the glitter of arms affrights the flying steeds, and dazzles the sight of the riders. Now I seem to hear of great commanders besmeared with, glorious dust, and the whole earth subdued13, except the stubborn soul of Cato. Juno, and every other god propitious14 to the Africans, impotently went off, leaving that land unrevenged; but soon offered the descendants of the conquerors16, as sacrifices to the manes of Jugurtha. What plain, enriched by Latin blood, bears not record, by its numerous sepulchres, of our impious battles, and of the sound of the downfall of Italy, heard even by the Medes? What pool, what rivers, are unconscious of our deplorable war? What sea have not the Daunian slaughters18 discolored? What shore is unstained by our blood? Do not, however, rash muse, neglecting your jocose19 strains, resume the task of Caean plaintive20 song, but rather with me seek measures of a lighter21 style beneath some love-sequestered grotto22.
Ode ii.
To Crispus Sallustius.

O Crispus Sallustius, thou foe23 to bullion24, unless it derives25 splendor26 from a moderate enjoyment27, there is no luster28 in money concealed29 in the niggard earth. Proculeius shall live an extended age, conspicuous30 for fatherly affection to brothers; surviving fame shall bear him on an untiring wing. You may possess a more extensive dominion31 by controlling a craving32 disposition33, than if you could unite Libya to the distant Gades, and the natives of both the Carthages were subject to you alone. The direful dropsy increases by self-indulgence, nor extinguishes its thirst, unless the cause of the disorder34 has departed from the veins36, and the watery37 languor38 from the pallid39 body. Virtue40, differing from the vulgar, excepts Phraates though restored to the throne of Cyrus, from the number of the happy; and teaches the populace to disuse false names for things, by conferring the kingdom and a safe diadem41 and the perpetual laurel upon him alone, who can view large heaps of treasure with undazzled eye.
Ode iii.
To Quintus Dellius.

O Dellius, since thou art born to die, be mindful to preserve a temper of mind even in times of difficulty, as well an restrained from insolent42 exultation43 in prosperity: whether thou shalt lead a life of continual sadness, or through happy days regale44 thyself with Falernian wine of the oldest date, at case reclined in some grassy46 retreat, where the lofty pine and hoary47 poplar delight to interweave their boughs48 into a hospitable49 shade, and the clear current with trembling surface purls along the meandering50 rivulet51. Hither order [your slaves] to bring the wine, and the perfumes, and the too short-lived flowers of the grateful rose, while fortune, and age; and the sable52 threads of the three sisters permit thee. You must depart from your numerous purchased groves53; from your house also, and that villa54, which the yellow Tiber washes, you must depart: and an heir shall possess these high-piled riches. It is of no consequence whether you are the wealthy descendant of ancient Inachus, or whether, poor and of the most ignoble55 race, you live without a covering from the open air, since you are the victim of merciless Pluto56. We are all driven toward the same quarter: the lot of all is shaken in the urn57; destined58 sooner or later to come forth59, and embark60 us in [Charon’s] boat for eternal exile.
Ode iv.
To Xanthias Phoceus.

Let not, O Xanthias Phoceus, your passion for your maid put you out of countenance61; before your time, the slave Briseis moved the haughty62 Achilles by her snowy complexion63. The beauty of the captive Tecmessa smote64 her master, the Telamonian Ajax; Agamemnon, in the midst of victory, burned for a ravished virgin65: when the barbarian66 troops fell by the hands of their Thessalian conqueror15, and Hector, vanquished67, left Troy more easily to be destroyed by the Grecians. You do not know that perchance the beautiful Phyllis has parents of condition happy enough to do honor to you their son-inlaw. Certainly she must be of royal race, and laments69 the unpropitiousness of her family gods. Be confident, that your beloved is not of the worthless crowd; nor that one so true, so unmercenary, could possibly be born of a mother to be ashamed of. I can commend arms, and face, and well-made legs, quite chastely70: avoid being jealous of one, whose age is hastening onward71 to bring its eighth mastrum to a close.
Ode v.

Not yet is she fit to be broken to the yoke72; not yet is she equal to the duties of a partner, nor can she support the weight of the bull impetuously rushing to enjoyment. Your heifer’s sole inclination73 is about verdant74 fields, one while in running streams soothing75 the grievous heat; at another, highly delighted to frisk with the steerlings in the moist willow76 ground. Suppress your appetite for the immature77 grape; shortly variegated78 autumn will tinge79 for thee the lirid clusters with a purple hue80. Shortly she shall follow you; for her impetuous time runs on, and shall place to her account those years of which it abridges81 you; shortly Lalage with a wanton assurance will seek a husband, beloved in a higher degree than the coy Pholoe, or even Chloris; shining as brightly with her fair shoulder, as the spotless moon upon the midnight sea, or even the Gnidian Gyges, whom if you should intermix in a company of girls, the undiscernible difference occasioned by his flowing locks and doubtful countenance would wonderfully impose even on sagacious strangers.
Ode vi.
To Septimus.

Septimus, who art ready to go with me, even to Gades, and to the Cantabrian, still untaught to bear our yoke, and the inhospitable Syrtes, where the Mauritanian wave perpetually boils. O may Tibur, founded by a Grecian colony, be the habitation of my old age! There let there be an end to my fatigues82 by sea, and land, and war; whence if the cruel fates debar me, I will seek the river of Galesus, delightful84 for sheep covered with skins, and the countries reigned85 over by Lacedaemonian Phalantus. That corner of the world smiles in my eye beyond all others; where the honey yields not to the Hymettian, and the olive rivals the verdant Venafrian: where the temperature of the air produces a long spring and mild winters, and Aulon friendly to the fruitful vine, envies not the Falernian grapes. That place, and those blest heights, solicit86 you and me; there you shall bedew the glowing ashes of your poet friend with a tear due [to his memory].
Ode vii.
To Pompeius Varus.

O thou, often reduced with me to the last extremity87 in the war which Brutus carried on, who has restored thee as a Roman citizen, to the gods of thy country and the Italian air, Pompey, thou first of my companions; with whom I have frequently broken the tedious day in drinking, having my hair, shining with the Syrian maiobathrum, crowned [with flowers]! Together with thee did I experience the [battle of] Phillippi and a precipitate88 flight, having shamefully89 enough left my shield; when valor90 was broken, and the most daring smote the squalid earth with their faces. But Mercury swift conveyed me away, terrified as I was, in a thick cloud through the midst of the enemy. Thee the reciprocating91 sea, with his tempestuous92 waves, bore back again to war. Wherefore render to Jupiter the offering that is due, and deposit your limbs, wearied with a tedious war, under my laurel, and spare not the casks reserved for you. Fill up the polished bowls with care-dispelling Massic: pour out the perfumed ointments93 from the capacious shells. Who takes care to quickly weave the chaplets of fresh parsely or myrtle? Whom shall the Venus pronounce to be master of the revel94? In wild carouse95 I will become frantic96 as the Bacchanalians. ’Tis delightful to me to play the madman, on the reception of my friends.
Ode viii.
To Barine.

If any punishment, Barine, for your violated oath had ever been of prejudice to you: if you had become less agreeable by the blackness of a single tooth or nail, I might believe you. But you no sooner have bound your perfidious98 head with vows99, but you shine out more charming by far, and come forth the public care of our youth. It is of advantage to you to deceive the buried ashes of your mother, and the silent constellations100 of the night, together with all heaven, and the gods free from chill death. Venus herself, I profess101, laughs at this; the good-natured nymphs laugh, and cruel Cupid, who is perpetually sharpening his burning darts103 on a bloody104 whetstone. Add to this, that all our boys are growing up for you; a new herd105 of slaves is growing up; nor do the former ones quit the house of their impious mistress, notwithstanding they often have threatened it. The matrons are in dread106 of you on account of their young ones; the thrifty107 old men are in dread of you; and the girls but just married are in distress108, lest your beauty should slacken [the affections of] their husbands.
Ode ix.
To Titus Valgius.

Showers do not perpetually pour down upon the rough fields, nor do varying hurricanes forever harass109 the Caspian Sea; nor, my friend Valgius, does the motionless ice remain fixed110 throughout all the months, in the regions of Armenia; nor do the Garganian oaks [always] labor111 under the northerly winds, nor are the ash-trees widowed of their leaves. But thou art continually pursuing Mystes, who is taken from thee, with mournful measures: nor do the effects of thy love for him cease at the rising of Vesper, or when he flies the rapid approach of the sun. But the aged5 man who lived three generations, did not lament68 the amiable112 Antilochus all the years of his life: nor did his parents or his Trojan sisters perpetually bewail the blooming Troilus. At length then desist from thy tender complaints; and rather let us sing the fresh trophies113 of Augustus Caesar, and the Frozen Niphates, and the river Medus, added to the vanquished nations, rolls more humble114 tides, and the Gelonians riding within a prescribed boundary in a narrow tract115 of land.
Ode x.
To Licinius Murena.

O Licinius, you will lead a more correct course of life, by neither always pursuing the main ocean, nor, while you cautiously are in dread of storms, by pressing too much upon the hazardous116 shore. Whosoever loves the golden mean, is secure from the sordidness117 of an antiquated119 cell, and is too prudent120 to have a palace that might expose him to envy, if the lofty pine is more frequently agitated121 with winds, and high towers fall down with a heavier ruin, and lightnings strike the summits of the mountains. A well-provided breast hopes in adversity, and fears in prosperity. ’Tis the same Jupiter, that brings the hideous122 winters back, and that takes them away. If it is ill with us now, it will not be so hereafter. Apollo sometimes rouses the silent lyric123 muse, neither does he always bend his bow. In narrow circumstances appear in high spirits, and undaunted. In the same manner you will prudently124 contract your sails, which are apt to be too much swollen125 in a prosperous gale45.
Ode xi.
To Quintius Hirpinus.

O Quintius Hirpinus, forbear to be inquisitive126 what the Cantabrian, and the Scythian, divided from us by the interposed Adriatic, is meditating127; neither be fearfully solicitous128 for the necessaries of a life, which requires but a few things. Youth and beauty fly swift away, while sapless old age expels the wanton loves and gentle sleep. The same glory does not always remain to the vernal flowers, nor does the ruddy moon shine with one continued aspect; why, therefore, do you fatigue83 you mind, unequal to eternal projects? Why do we not rather (while it is in our power) thus carelessly reclining under a lofty plane-tree, or this pine, with our hoary locks made fragrant129 by roses, and anointed with Syrian perfume, indulge ourselves with generous wine? Bacchus dissipates preying130 cares. What slave is here, instantly to cool some cups of ardent131 Falernian in the passing stream? Who will tempt132 the vagrant133 wanton Lyde from her house? See that you bid her hasten with her ivory lyre, collecting her hair into a graceful134 knot, after the fashion of a Spartan135 maid.
Ode xii.
To Maecenas.

Do not insist that the long wars of fierce Numantia, or the formidable Annibal, or the Sicilian Sea impurpled with Carthaginian blood, should be adapted to the tender lays of the lyre: nor the cruel Lapithae, nor Hylaeus excessive in wine and the earth born youths, subdued by Herculean force, from whom the splendid habitation of old Saturn136 dreaded137 danger. And you yourself, Maecenas, with more propriety138 shall recount the battles of Caesar, and the necks of haughty kings led in triumph through the streets in historical prose. It was the muse’s will that I should celebrate the sweet strains of my mistress Lycimnia, that I should celebrate her bright darting139 eyes, and her breast laudably faithful to mutual140 love: who can with a grace introduce her foot into the dance, or, sporting, contend in raillery, or join arms with the bright virgins141 on the celebrated142 Diana’s festival. Would you, [Maecenas,] change one of Lycimnia’s tresses for all the rich Achaemenes possessed143, or the Mygdonian wealth of fertile Phrygia, or all the dwellings144 of the Arabians replete145 with treasures? Especially when she turns her neck to meet your burning kisses, or with a gentle cruelty denies, what she would more delight to have ravished than the petitioner146 — or sometimes eagerly anticipates to snatch them her self.
Ode xiii.
To a Tree.

O tree, he planted thee on an unlucky day whoever did it first, and with an impious hand raised thee for the destruction of posterity147, and the scandal of the village. I could believe that he had broken his own father’s neck, and stained his most secret apartments with the midnight blood of his guest. He was wont148 to handle Colchian poisons, and whatever wickedness is anywhere conceived, who planted in my field thee, a sorry log; thee, ready to fall on the head of thy inoffensive master. What we ought to be aware of, no man is sufficiently149 cautious at all hours. The Carthaginian sailor thoroughly150 dreads151 the Bosphorus; nor, beyond that, does he fear a hidden fate from any other quarter. The soldier dreads the arrows and the fleet retreat of the Parthian; the Parthian, chains and an Italian prison; but the unexpected assault of death has carried off, and will carry off, the world in general. How near was I seeing the dominions152 of black Proserpine, and Aeacus sitting in judgment153; the separate abodes154 also of the pious17, and Sappho complaining in her Aeohan lyre of her own country damsels; and thee, O Alcaeus, sounding in fuller strains on thy golden harp102 the distresses155 of exile, and the distresses of war. The ghosts admire them both, while they utter strains worthy156 of a sacred silence; but the crowded multitude, pressing with their shoulders, imbibes157, with a more greedy ear, battles and banished158 tyrants159. What wonder? Since the many headed monster, astonished at those lays, hangs down his sable ears; and the snakes, entwined in the hair of the furies, are soothed160. Moreover, Prometheus and the sire of Pelops are deluded161 into an insensibility of their torments162, by the melodious163 sound: nor is Orion any longer solicitous to harass the lions, or the fearful lynxes.
Ode xiv.
To Postumus.

Alas164! my Postumus, my Postumus, the fleeting165 years gilde on; nor will piety166 cause any delay to wrinkles, and advancing old age, and insuperable death. You could not, if you were to sacrifice every passing day three hundred bulls, render propitious pitiless Pluto, who confines the thrice-monstrous Geryon and Tityus with the dismal167 Stygian stream, namely, that stream which is to be passed over by all who are fed by the bounty168 of the earth, whether we be kings or poor ninds. In vain shall we be free from sanguinary Mars, and the broken billows of the hoarse169 Adriatic; in vain shall we be apprehensive170 for ourselves of the noxious171 South, in the time of autumn. The black Cocytus wandering with languid current, and the infamous172 race of Danaus, and Sisyphus, the son of the Aeolus, doomed173 to eternal toil174, must be visited; your land and house and pleasing wife must be left, nor shall any of those trees, which you are nursing, follow you, their master for a brief space, except the hated cypresses175; a worthier176 heir shall consume your Caecuban wines now guarded with a hundred keys, and shall wet the pavement with the haughty wine, more exquisite177 than what graces pontifical178 entertainment.
Ode xv.
Against the Luxury of the Romans.

The palace-like edifices179 will in a short time leave but a few acres for the plough; ponds of wider extent than the Lucrine lake will be every where to be seen; and the barren plane-tree will supplant180 the elms. Then banks of violets, and myrtle groves, and all the tribe of nosegays shall diffuse181 their odors in the olive plantations182, which were fruitful to their preceding master. Then the laurel with dense183 boughs shall exclude the burning beams. It was not so prescribed by the institutes of Romulus, and the unshaven Cato, and ancient custom. Their private income was contracted, while that of the community was great. No private men were then possessed of galleries measured by ten-feet rules, which collected the shady northern breezes; nor did the laws permit them to reject the casual turf [for their own huts], though at the same time they obliged them to ornament184 in the most sumptuous185 manner, with new stone, the buildings of the public, and the temples of the gods, at a common expense.
Ode xvi.
To Grosphus.

O Grosphus, he that is caught in the wide Aegean Sea; when a black tempest has obscured the moon, and not a star appears with steady light for the mariners186, supplicates187 the gods for repose188: for repose, Thrace furious in war; the quiver-graced Medes, for repose neither purchasable by jewels, nor by purple, nor by gold. For neither regal treasures nor the consul’s officer can remove the wretched tumults189 of the mind, nor the cares that hover190 about splendid ceilings. That man lives happily on a little, who can view with pleasure the old-fashioned family salt-cellar on his frugal191 board; neither anxiety nor sordid118 avarice192 robs him of gentle sleep. Why do we, brave for a short season, aim at many things? Why do we change our own for climates heated by another sun? Whoever, by becoming an exile from his country, escaped likewise from himself? Consuming care boards even brazen-beaked ships: nor does it quit the troops of horsemen, for it is more fleet than the stags, more fleet than the storm-driving east wind. A mind that is cheerful in its present state, will disdain193 to be solicitous any further, and can correct the bitters of life with a placid194 smile. Nothing is on all hands completely blessed. A premature195 death carried off the celebrated Achilles; a protracted196 old age wore down Tithonus; and time perhaps may extend to me, what it shall deny to you. Around you a hundred flocks bleat197, and Sicilian heifers low; for your use the mare198, fit for the harness, neighs; wool doubly dipped in the African purple-dye, clothes you: on me undeceitful fate has bestowed199 a small country estate, and the slight inspiration of the Grecian muse, and a contempt for the malignity200 of the vulgar.
Ode xvii.
To Maecenas.

Why dost thoti kill me with thy complaints? ’Tis neither agreeable to the gods, nor to me, that thou shouldest depart first, O Maecenas, thou grand ornament and pillar of my affairs. Alas! if an untimely blow hurry away thee, a part of my soul, why do I the other moiety201 remain, my value lost, nor any longer whole? That [fatal] day shall bring destruction upon us both. I have by no means taken a false oath: we will go, we will go, whenever thou shalt lead the way, prepared to be fellow-travelers in the last journey. Me nor the breath of the fiery202 Chimaera, nor hundred-handed Gyges, were he to rise again, shall ever tear from thee: such is the will of powerful Justice, and of the Fates. Whether Libra or malignant203 Scorpio had the ascendant at my natal204 hour, or Capricon the ruler of the western wave, our horoscopes agree in a wonderful manner. Thee the benign205 protection of Jupiter, shining with friendly aspect, rescued from the baleful influence of impious Saturn, and retarded206 the wings of precipitate destiny, at the time the crowded people with resounding207 applauses thrice hailed you in the theatre: me the trunk of a tree, falling upon my skull208, would have dispatched, had not Faunus, the protector of men of genius, with his right hand warded209 off the blow. Be thou mindful to pay the victims and the votive temple; I will sacrifice an humble lamb.
Ode xviii.
Against Avarice and Luxury.

Nor ivory, nor a fretted210 ceiling adorned211 with gold, glitters in my house: no Hymettian beams rest upon pillars cut out of the extreme parts of Africa; nor, a pretended heir, have I possessed myself of the palace of Attalus, nor do ladies, my dependants212, spin Laconian purple for my use. But integrity, and a liberal vein35 of genius, are mine: and the man of fortune makes his court to me, who am but poor. I importune213 the gods no further, nor do I require of my friend in power any larger enjoyments214, sufficiently happy with my Sabine farm alone. Day is driven on by day, and the new moons hasten to their wane215. You put out marble to be hewn, though with one foot in the grave; and, unmindful of a sepulcher216, are building houses; and are busy to extend the shore of the sea, that beats with violence at Baiae, not rich enough with the shore of the mainland. Why is it, that through avarice you even pluck up the landmarks217 of your neighbor’s ground, and trespass218 beyond the bounds of your clients; and wife and husband are turned out, bearing in their bosom219 their household gods and their destitute220 children? Nevertheless, no court more certainly awaits its wealthy lord, than the destined limit of rapacious221 Pluto. Why do you go on? The impartial222 earth is opened equally to the poor and to the sons of kings; nor has the life-guard ferryman of hell, bribed223 with gold, re-conducted the artful Prometheus. He confines proud Tantalus; and the race of Tantalus, he condescends224, whether invoked225 or not, to relieve the poor freed from their labors226.
Ode xix.
On Bacchus.
A Dithyrambic, or Drinking Song.

I saw Bacchus (believe it, posterity) dictating227 strains among the remote rocks, and the nymphs learning them, and the ears of the goat-footed satyrs all attentive228. Evoe! my mind trembles with recent dread, and my soul, replete with Bacchus, has a tumultuous joy, Evoe! spare me, Bacchus; spare me, thou who art formidable for thy dreadful thyrsus. It is granted me to sing the wanton Bacchanalian97 priestess, and the fountain of wine, and rivulets229 flowing with milk, and to tell again of the honeys distilling230 from the hollow trunks. It is granted me likewise to celebrate the honor added to the constellations by your happy spouse231, and the palace of Pentheus demolished232 with no light ruin, and the perdition of Thracian. Lycurgus. You command the rivers, you the barbarian sea. You, moist with wine, on lonely mountain-tops bind233 the hair of your Thracian priestesses with a knot of vipers234 without hurt. You, when the impious band of giants scaled the realms of father Jupiter through the sky, repelled235 Rhoetus, with the paws and horrible jaw236 of the lion-shape [you had assumed]. Thou, reported to be better fitted for dances, and jokes and play, you were accounted insufficient237 for fight; yet it then appeared, you, the same deity238, was the mediator239 of peace and war. Upon you, ornamented240 with your golden horn, Orberus innocently gazed, gently wagging his tail; and with his triple tongue licked your feet and legs, as you returned.
Ode xx.
To Maecenas.

I, a two-formed poet, will be conveyed through the liquid air with no vulgar or humble wing; nor will I loiter upon earth any longer; and superior to envy, I will quit cities. Not I, even I, the blood of low parents, my dear Maecenas, shall die; nor shall I be restrained by the Stygian wave. At this instant a rough skin settles upon my ankles, and all upwards241 I am transformed into a white bird, and the downy plumage arises over my fingers and shoulders. Now, a melodious bird, more expeditious242 than the Daepalean Icarus, I will visit the shores of the murmuring Bosphorus, and the Gzetulean Syrtes, and the Hyperborean plains. Me the Colchian and the Dacian, who hides his fear of the Marsian cohort, land the remotest Gelonians, shall know: me the learned Spaniard shall study, and he that drinks of the Rhone. Let there be no dirges243, nor unmanly lamentations, nor bewailings at my imaginary funeral; suppress your crying, and forbear the superfluous244 honors of a sepulcher.
