" Troy's fortune again upspringing, *' Will with disastrous omen be " With slaughter sad renew'd, bringing " Throngs victorious led by me, " Wife and sister of Jove ; " Though thrice again above " By Phoebus' hand the brazen wall " Uprise, yet thrice erased again " By Argives, mine it perish shall, " And thrice the wife a captive ta'en, " Her sons and husbands weep. " But these be things that keep No fit accord with sportive lyre, Muse, whither wouldst ? Cease ! nor rehearse The speech of gods,... thou pert, aspire. Nor great things mar by slender verse. 82 HORACE. BOOK III. ODE 13. TO THE BANDU3IAN FOUNT. THOU, Bandusia's fount Shining- as is thy wont, Than crystal far more bright, And worthy sweetest wine. Where flowers in garlands twine, Thou shalt ere morrow night A kid receive, Whose brow doth give, Garnish'd with budding horn, Earnest of love and fight. In vain, for in the morn Shall stain thy gelid spring With his right ruddy blood, The wanton flocks' offspring. Thee, in his fiery mood Smites not the dog-star wood ; Thou proff"erest pleasant cool To the plough-weary bull.
