Horace+Odes+1.37

Alcaic
 * Horace Odes 1.37**

//Now we must drink//, //now we must strike the earth//
 * Nunc est bibendum, nunc pede libero**

//with loose foot, now it was time//
 * pulsanda tellus, nunc Saliaribus**

//to adorn the sacred couch//
 * ornare pulvinar deorum**

//for the Salarian feasts, companions.//
 * tempus erat dapibus, sodales.**

//previously, it was a crime to bring out//
 * antehac nefas depromere Caecubum**

//choice wine from Caecubus, from the ancestral cellars//
 * cellis avitis, dum Capitolio**

//while the queen was preparing the mad ruins for the Capitoline//
 * regina dementis ruinas**

//and destruction for the government// - et - post position
 * funus et imperio parabat**

//with foul company of men shameful by disease.//
 * contaminato cum grege turpium**

//wild to hope for anything//
 * morbo virorum, quidlibet inpotens**

//and drunk with sweet fortune.//
 * sperare fortunaque dulci**

//but scarcely one ship safe and sound from the flames//
 * ebria; sed minuit furorem**

//reduced her fury//
 * vix una sospes navis ab ignibus**

//and Caesar, pursuing closely with oars, reduced the mind//
 * mentemque lymphatam Mareotico**

//frenzied by means Mareotican wine into true fears//
 * redegit in veros timores**

//flying from Italy.//
 * Caesar ab Italia volantem**

//just as a hawk (pursues), the gentle dove//s
 * remis adurgens, accipiter velut**

//or the quick hunter (pursues) the rabbit//
 * mollis columbas aut leporem citus**

//on the plains of snowy Thessaly//
 * venator in campis nivalis**

in order to give the fatal monster to chains
 * Haemoniae, daret ut catenis**

who seeking to perish more nobly
 * fatale monstrum, quae generosius**

neither dreaded the sword like a woman
 * perire quaerens nec muliebriter**

nor reached the hiding shores
 * expavit ensem, nec latentis**

with a fast fleet,
 * classe cita reparavit oras,**

and having dared to look at the palace in ruins
 * ausa et iacentem visere regiam**

with a calm face, and brave to handle the harsh
 * voltu sereno, fortis et asperas**

serpents, in order that she would drink the black
 * tractare serpentes, ut atrum**

poison with her body.
 * corpore combiberet venenum,**

more savage by means of a carefully planned death
 * deliberata morte ferocior:**

refusing surely to be led away by savage galleys
 * saevis Liburnis scilicet invidens**

as a private (citizen) - deduci - present passive
 * privata deduci superbo**

not a humble woman for a proud triumph.
 * non humilis mulier triumpho.**
