Horace+Odes+3.13


 * __Horace Odes 3.13__**

//Oh spring of Bandusia, more splendid than glass,//
 * O fons Bandusiae splendidior vitro,**

//worthy of sweet wine not without flowers,//
 * dulci digne mero non sine floribus,**

//tomorrow you will be presented with a goat,//
 * cras donaberis haedo,**

//for whom the forehead swollen with first horns//
 * cui frons turgida cornibus**

//destines you both for love and for battles.//
 * 5 primis et Venerem et proelia destinat,**

//In vain: for it will stain cold streams//
 * frustra: nam gelidos inficiet tibi**

//with your red blood//
 * rubro sanguine rivos**

//the offspring of a playful flock.//
 * lascivi suboles gregis.**

//The dreadful hour of flaming Sirius//
 * te flagrantis atrox hora Caniculae**

//does not know how to touch, you offer//
 * 10 nescit tangere, tu frigus amabile**

//friendly cold to the bulls weary with plowshare.//
 * fessis vomere tauris**

//and the roaming farm animals.//
 * praebes et pecori vago.**

//You will become of noble springs,//
 * fies nobilium tu quoque fontium**

//with me saying, with the holm oak having been built//
 * me dicente cavis inpositam ilicem**

//on hollow rocks, from where//
 * 15 saxis, unde loquaces**

//your talkative waters jump down//
 * lymphae desiliunt tuae.**
