Echoes of Ode and Epode . itinam : usque ego posteraCrescam laude recens dum CapitoliumScandet cum tacita virgine qua violens obstrepit AufidusEt qua pauper aquae Daunus agrestiumRegnavit populorum, ex humili potens,Princeps Aeolium carnien ad ItalosUeduxisse modes.

TTWOULD seem a little tall should I compare-- This book of mine unto a Pyramid ;Or trusting to the brass within, should dareFor its perennial life to make a bid. I have not launched it on the world, and soIt lies well sheltered, with unruffled page, From imber edax and from Aquilo,The teeth and stoims of literary rage. Non omnis morietur ; howsoeerMy purpose idle or my verse ill done. Some lenient soul shall somewhere see and shareMy love for Horace, and condone my fun. Perchance some lone grouse-driver in his butt,Or weary fisher waiting for the rise, Some public-school boy in a soldiei-s hut. Some yachtsman dreaming under tropic skies,. 113 Shall give me heart-room : Then cheer up, my Muse ! And, as a self-dubbed Baronet makes redHis scutcheon with the Bloody Hand, Ill choose A modest little wreath for my own head.
