The Fifth Ode of Horace. Lib. I.
Quis multa gracilis te puer in Rosa, Rendred almost word for word without Rhyme according to the Latin Measure, as near as the Language will permit.
- What slender Youth bedew’d with liquid odours
- Courts thee on Roses in some pleasant Cave,
- Pyrrha for whom bind’st thou
- In wreaths thy golden Hair,
- Plain in thy neatness; O how oft shall he
- On Faith and changed Gods complain: and Seas
- Rough with black winds and storms
- Unwonted shall admire:
- Who now enjoyes thee credulous, all Gold,
- Who alwayes vacant, alwayes amiable10
- Hopes thee; of flattering gales
- Unmindfull. Hapless they
- To whom thou untry’d seem’st fair. Me in my vow’d
- Picture the sacred wall declares t’ have hung
- My dank and dropping weeds
- To the stern God of Sea.
