The Fifth Ode
Tell me Pyrrha what fine youth
All perfumed and crown'd with Roses
To thy chamber thee pursuth
And thy wanton Arme incloses
What is he thou now hast got
Whose more long and golden tresses
Into many a curious knot
Thy more curious finger dresses
How much will he wayle his trust
And (forsooke) begin to wonder
When black wyndes shall billowes thrust
And breake all his hopes in sunder?
Ficklenes of wyndes he knowes
Very little that doth love thee
Miserable are all those
That affect thee ere they prove thee
I as one from shipwrack freed
To the Oceans mighty Ranger
Consecrate my dropping weed,
And in freedome thinke of danger.
– Horace (65-8 BC), translated by William Browne (ca. 1625)
