ODES. BOOK I.

Ode 1.-To MECENAS.

Mæcenas, sprung from ancient kings,
My praise, my glory, and my guard ;
Some love to gather dust which springs
In race Olympic, hot wheels driven.
Clear of the goal,-the palm's reward,-
Exalt these lords of earth to Heaven.

One, if the fickle Roman crowd
Would raise him thrice to honours proud-
Another, if his garner shields

Whole harvests of the Lybian fields-
Or loves his father's land to plough—
The wealth of Attalus shall fail
To make as fearful shipman sail
Myrtoa's sea in Cyprian prow.
The merchant, with uneasy mind,
Dwelling on Afric's raging wind
Joined with the Icarian waves in strife,
Praises his easy country life;

But soon, compelled by want, equips

Again for sea his shaken ships.

I've known the man who will not turn

From cups of ancient Massic wine,

Nor from the busy day will spurn

To take a part-and now supine
