Horace+Odes+1.25

Sapphic
 * Horace Odes 1.25**

//The bold young men shake the joined (closed) windows//
 * Parcius iunctas quatiunt fenestras**

//with violent hurlings more sparingly,//
 * iactibus crebris iuvenes protervi,**

//and they do not take away sleep from you,//
 * nec tibi somnos adimunt, amatque**

//and the door loves the threshold,//
 * ianua limen,**

//which before was moving the easy hinges much.//
 * quae prius multum facilis movebat**

//Now this is what you hear less and less//
 * cardines. audis minus et minus iam:**

//"With your me perishing for long nights,// - ablative absolute - noctes - acc. of duration
 * ‘me tuo longas pereunte noctes,**

//do you sleep Lydia?"//
 * Lydia, dormis?’**

//In turn as a fickle old woman//
 * invicem moechos anus adrogantis**

//you will weep for arrogant lovers in a lonely alley.//
 * flebis in solo levis angiportu,**

//With the Thracian wind raging more//
 * Thracio bacchante magis sub inter-**

//under the moonless sky,//
 * lunia vento,**

//when blazing love and lust to you,//
 * cum tibi flagrans amor et libido,**

//which is accustomed to enrage the mothers of horses//
 * quae solet matres furiare equorum,**

//will rage around the liver full of ulcers,// - saeviet - future
 * saeviet circa iecur ulcerosum,**

//non without lament,//
 * non sine questu,**

//that the age of puberty, happy,//
 * laeta quod pubes hedera virenti**

//rejoices with the ivy being green more than the gray myrtle,//
 * gaudeat pulla magis atque myrto,**

//(and) should dedicate the dry leaves to//
 * aridas frondes hiemis sodali**

//Hebrus a companion of winter.//
 * dedicet Hebro.**
