■o- 16 HORACE. BOOK 1. ODE III. 000 May Venus' Star propitious shine, May Helen's Brothers shed their light benign ; May Eolus vouchsafe to bind All adverse gales, and loose the Western wind ! O Ship that dost my Virgil bear, Preserve the charge committed to thy care ; That sacred treasure safely land, My other self, upon th J Athenian strand ! Oak was his heart and brass around His rugged breast in triple plates was bound, Who first upon the ruthless wave Launch'd his frail bark, and unappall'...d could brave The tumult of conflicting gales, Despised the Hyades, and spread his sails Before the Southern blast, whose power O'er Adria rules to raise its surge or lower. No form of death that Man dismays, Who on Sea-monsters with fixed eyes can gaze, That Man who can endure the sight Of mountain waves, and view without affright Acroceraunia's rock-girt coast, 111 famed for many a gallant vessel lost. In vain did Providence divide The land by Ocean's intervening tide, 17 If impious barks 'gainst Heaven's decree, Thus dare to traverse the forbidden Sea.
