Not Orpheus' lyre, Whose magic tones the list'ning woods obey'd, Could bid the valued friend again respire, And bring to earth the solitary shade 68 FROM HORACE. For Hermes nor can tears nor waitings bend To change, once undergone, Death's rigid state But, yet shall patient Resignation lend Support to bear the stern decrees of Fate. 69 FROM HORACE. ODES. BOOK I. ODE 14. Shall, then, again the restless sea, O ship ! sustain thee on its wave ? Hold, hold the port, from danger free, And bless the ...joys that halcyon Quiet gave. Ah ! dost thou see thy shatter'd side Defenceless left, without an oar ? The masts and yards what shocks betide ! Thy keel the tempest's rage can bear no more. 70 FROM HORACE. The torn shrouds whistle to the blast, That o'er thee peals its hollow moan : No Gods are nigh : their mercies past : None see thy fearful plight — none hear thy groan. Boast not the splendors of thy race, Though from the woods of Pontus sprung — Thy proud descent and matchless grace, By nations echoed and by poets sung.
