sive mutata iuvenem figura ales in terris imitaris, almae filius Maiae, patiens vocari Caesaris ultor. Serus in caelum redeas diuque laetus intersis populo Quirini, neve te nostris vitiis iniquum ocior aura tollat; hic magnos potius triumphos, hic ames dici pater atque princeps, neu sinas Medos equitare inultos te duce, Caesar.
“Or having changed shape, do you winged one, son of nourishing Maia, imitate the young man on earth, called the unyielding avenger of Caesar? May you return to heaven at a late hour and be present for a long while with the people of Romulus, and may no swifter breeze take you, injured by our crimes. Here are rather great triumphs, here may you love to be pronounced father and first citizen, and, with you as general, not allow the unpunished Medes to ride, Caesar!” – Horace Odes1.2.41-52
Remember the time that Horace wrote that Octavian is really just Mercury in disguise??
Horace, Odes 1.14
o nauis, referent in mare te noui
fluctus! o quid agis? fortiter occupa
portum! nonne uides ut
nudum remigio latus,
et malus celeri saucius Africo,
antennaeque gemant, ac sine funibus
uix durare carinae
possint imperiosius
aequor? non tibi sunt integra lintea,
non di quos iterum pressa uoces malo.
quamuis Pontica pinus,
silvae filia nobilis,
iactes et genus et nomen inutile,
nil pictis timidus nauita puppibus
fidit. tu, nisi uentis
debes ludibrium, caue.
nuper sollicitum quae mihi taedium,
nunc desederium curaque non leuis,
interfusa nitentis
uides aequora Cycladas.
O ship, new waves will carry you to sea
again. Why hesitate? Bravely head
for port. Don’t you see? Your
hull is stripped of oars
your mast and yardarms, wounded by the swift
south wind, are groaning, your keel without
its undergirding lines can
hardly stand against
the too-commanding sea. No sails intact,
no gods upon the stern to call for help
once more, though Pontic pine, a
child of famed forest,
is the name and lineage you boast uselessly:
the timid sailor has no faith in painted
ships. Unless you owe the winds
a little game, beware!
Not long ago you were my weary worry;
now my heart’s desire, a deep concern,
avoid the waters flowing
round the gleaming Cyclades.
“With equal pace, impartial Fate Knocks at the palace, as the cottage gate.”
- Horace

Intermissa, Venus, diu
rursus bella moves? parce precor, precor.
non sum qualis eram bonae
sub regno Cinarae. desine, dulcium
mater saeva Cupidinum,
circa lustra decem flectere mollibus
iam durum imperiis: abi
quo blandae iuvenum te revocant preces.
(Are you making war again, Venus, after so long a truce? Have mercy, I beg you, I begyou! I am not the man I was in the reign of Cinara the Good. Stop, o cruel mother of sweet Desires, stop driving one who after nearly fifty years is now too hardened to answer your soft commands. Away, and make for a place to which the young men with their coaxing appeals are calling you.)
lines 1 - 8, Carmen 4.1, Horace
