ODE IX. To Thaliarchus.
See how Soracte's Mountain scarce sustains
Her hoary Load! what Frosts congeal the Woods,
Bind fast the waving Seas in Icy Chains,
And stop the rapid Current of the Floods!
Her hoary Load! what Frosts congeal the Woods,
Bind fast the waving Seas in Icy Chains,
And stop the rapid Current of the Floods!
Now let your Hearth with Piles of Billets glow,
The Sabine Casks their mellow Charge diffuse:
Dissolve the crystal Ice, melt down the Snow
With never-ceasing Fires and sparkling Juice.
The Sabine Casks their mellow Charge diffuse:
Dissolve the crystal Ice, melt down the Snow
With never-ceasing Fires and sparkling Juice.
Leave all the rest to Jove, at whose Command
The warring Winds their rough Contentions end,
No more the Waves in curling Ridges stand,
Nor Ash, nor Cypress to the Tempest bend.
The warring Winds their rough Contentions end,
No more the Waves in curling Ridges stand,
Nor Ash, nor Cypress to the Tempest bend.
Nought Future, no To-morrows Thee employ,
The present Hour is thine, and this improve,
Now in the Youth the Gift of Heaven enjoy,
In sportive Dance, in Revels, and in Love.
The present Hour is thine, and this improve,
Now in the Youth the Gift of Heaven enjoy,
In sportive Dance, in Revels, and in Love.
Remove far off Old-age and late Decay;
Now to the Walks and to the Ring repair:
At Night the lucky Moment calls away,
The gentle Whisper, and the yielding Fair.
Now to the Walks and to the Ring repair:
11
The gentle Whisper, and the yielding Fair.
In vain she flies to hide, but laughing shows
How you may find her out, and hold her fast:
And when you snatch some Favour, clasp it close,
Struggles a-while, but—lets it go at last.
How you may find her out, and hold her fast:
And when you snatch some Favour, clasp it close,
Struggles a-while, but—lets it go at last.
