Horace+Odes+1.5

Horace, Odes 1.5 Fourth Asclepiadean

//Which slender boy having been filled// - gracilis - colloquial word, not really poetic
 * Quis multa gracilis te puer in rosa**

//with liquid smells on many roses pushes you//
 * perfusus liquidis urget odoribus**

//under a pleasing cave, Pyrrha?//
 * grato, Pyrrha, sub antro?**

//For whom do you, plain in your elegance,//
 * cui flavam religas comam**

//tie your blonde hair? alas how often//
 * simplex munditiis? heu quotiens fidem**

//he will weep for changed allegiance and changed fortune//
 * mutatosque deos flebit et aspera**

//and he, unaccustomed, will wonder exceedingly at//
 * nigris aequora ventis**

//seas rough with gloomy winds,//
 * emirabitur insolens,**

//who now, believing, enjoys golden you//
 * qui nunc te fruitur credulus aurea,**

//who always hopes that you are always available, always lovable,// - anaphora - the sempers and the sperat - consonance
 * qui semper vacuam, semper amabilem**

//not knowing of the deceitful breeze.//
 * sperat, nescius aurae**

//They are miserable, for whom you you shine untried.// - insert sunt
 * fallacis. miseri, quibus**

//The sacred wall shows//
 * intemptata nites. me tabula sacer**

//with a votive tablet// - some synchesis - two of them, crazy word order
 * votiva paries indicat uvida**

//that I have hung up my wet clothes//
 * suspendisse potenti**

//to the powerful god of the sea.//
 * vestimenta maris deo.**
