Od. iv. 7. 5 DIFFUGERE nives ; redeunt jam gramina campis, Arboribusque comæ : Flumina prætereunt: Ducere nuda choros. Quæ rapit hora diem. Interitura, simul Bruma recurrit iners. 10 : 15 Damna tamen celeres reparant cælestia lunæ : Nos, ubi decidimus Pulvis et umbra sumus. Tempora Dî superi ? Od. iv. 7. 5 The snows are gone, the fields resume their verdant hue; The trees their leaves renew : Within their limits flow : And lead the festive dance. Immortal hopes how vain ! Then fruitful Autumn brings Is bound in wint'ry chain. We, when we journey, where Are shades and dust- no more! Who shall presume to say ? 10 15 Cuncta manus avidas fugient hæredis, amico Quæ dederis animo. Fecerit arbitria; Restituet pietas. Liberat Hippolytum; Vincula Pirithoo. 25 20 Whate'er with lib'ral hand thy gen'rous bounty shares, Shall 'scape thy greedy heirs ; Have pass’d his stern decree, Can bring thee back to earth. Chaste Dian strove in vain ; His lov'd Pirithöus save. 25 CATULLUS. Car. Xxxi. AD SIRMIONEM PENINSULAM. 5 PENINSULARUM, Sirmio, insularumque 10 |
