The Odes and Epodon of Horace, In Five Books | ||
To PHILLIS. Ode XI.
He invites her to a Banquet in April, being the Birth-day of MÆCENAS.
View, PHILLIS, cask of Alban Wine,
Near ten years Old; th' Orchard beneath
With Smallage, Ivy store does shine,
Fit Crowns to wreath;
Near ten years Old; th' Orchard beneath
With Smallage, Ivy store does shine,
Fit Crowns to wreath;

From whence thy Self dost Beams reflect:
My House with Silver smiles, Lamb's gore
Th' Altar desires, with Vervin deckt
Till sprinkled o're.
My House with Silver smiles, Lamb's gore
Th' Altar desires, with Vervin deckt
Till sprinkled o're.
Each hand assists, both here and there
Youths, Maidens, joyn'd industrious run,
Whilst rolling flames dark Smoak do bear,
Like Clouds to th' Sun.
Youths, Maidens, joyn'd industrious run,
Whilst rolling flames dark Smoak do bear,
Like Clouds to th' Sun.
Joy's cause let this be mentioned,
Th' Ides thou must celebrate, that day
Guts April's half, which Month Sea-bred
VENUS doth sway.
Th' Ides thou must celebrate, that day
Guts April's half, which Month Sea-bred
VENUS doth sway.
Justly observ'd, ev'n as mine Own
Birth-day, with hallow'd Reverence,
His years since my MÆCENAS known
To count from thence.
Birth-day, with hallow'd Reverence,
His years since my MÆCENAS known
To count from thence.
TELEPHUS, whom thou seek'st in vain,
(Beyond thy rank) Rich wealthy Lass,
Blith, wanton too, with grateful Chain
Inthralled has.
(Beyond thy rank) Rich wealthy Lass,
Blith, wanton too, with grateful Chain

Burnt PHAETON proud hopes affright;
Wing'd Pegasus (sad tale to th' wise)
BELLEROPHON, that earth-born Knight,
Ill bare to Skys.

BELLEROPHON, that earth-born Knight,
Ill bare to Skys.
That, comely things pursu'd, and those
Too high thought Crime renounc'd may prove,
(Unequal Match) come then thou close
Of all my Love:
Too high thought Crime renounc'd may prove,
(Unequal Match) come then thou close
Of all my Love:
For from this time none other She
Shall warm my Heart, learn Verse to sing
With powerful Voice, then scatter'd be
Black Cares, take flight.
