The Fifth Ode
What young Raw Muisted Beau Bred at his Glass
now wilt thou on a Rose's Bed Carress
who niest to thy white Breasts wilt thow intice
with hair unsnooded and without thy Stays
O Bonny Lass wi' thy Sweet Landart Air
how will thy fikle humour gie him care
when e'er thou takes the fling strings, like the wind
with Jaws the Ocean – thou'lt disturb his Mind
when thou looks smirky kind and claps his cheek
to poor friends then he'll hardly look or speak
the Coof belivest-na but Right soon he'll find
thee Light as Cork and wavring as the Wind
on that slid place where I 'maist brake my Bains
to be a warning I Set up two Stains
that nane may venture there as I hae done
unless wi' frosted Nails he Clink his Shoon.
– Horace (65-8 BC), translated by Allan Ramsay (ca. 1720)
