Took too the lion's frenzied force To swell our passion, so the legends say. 'Twas anger laid Thyestes sorely low. And to this cause the ramparts tall Of towns can trace their final fall, When o'er the site of ruined walls the foe Set mark of ploughshare in the flush of pride. Be calm of mind ; when youth was sweet I too, consumed by passion's heat, The burning rush of swift iambics tried In madness. Now I seek for hours of pain To win back pleasure, an thou wilt ; Since I recant my charge of g...uilt. Be friends and give me back thy heart again. 24 THE ODES OF HORACE. ODE XVII. To Tyndaris. Lycaean heights when Faunus swift forsakes, For fair Lucretilis he often makes ; There from my kids he wards the summer heat, And shields them when the rainy tempests beat. My she-goats scatheless wander through the glade, A strong mate's consorts, and in shelter'd shade For lurking thyme and arbute make their quest, By dread of green-scaled serpents undistrest. Their young the wolves of Mars need never heed When thou, my Tyndaris, with tuneful reed Dost make the glens and gleaming rocks resound Where Ustica stoops down with lowly ground.
